Hindus Welcome 'World Interfaith Harmony Week'
Hindus have applauded the launching of "World Interfaith Harmony Week" by United Nations (UN).
Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that "it is a step in the right direction."
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, stressed that despite our seriously different traditions, we should learn to live together in mutual trust and peace. Dialogue would bring mutual enrichment and overcome prejudices. Rajan Zed pointed out that religion is a complex component of our lives.
The UN General Assembly in November resolved that the first week of February be devoted to spreading the message of interfaith harmony and goodwill in the world's churches, mosques, synagogues, temples and other places of worship. It should be based on love of God and love of one's neighbours.
