World Parliament of Religions 2009 - Melbourne
On 8th Dec 2009, HH Sri Chinnajeeyar Swamiji spoke in the World Parliament of Religions. Sri Chinnajeeyar Swamiji spoke on the "Role of religion in making this world a global village". As HH Sri Swamiji, after giving the reasons and full explanation, revealed the principle " Worship your own and Respect All" there was an electrified effect among the listeners and the whole assembly of religious leaders and the participants greatly applauded with resounding claps. HH addressed many key points and compared all the religions as the parts of a single body. Though they are all different, but, they should work in co-ordination and co-operation without insulting one another or hurting one another to keep the " World " body in health and peace. There will not be any wars if people today understand this principle. People in the name of religions need not lure, take advantage of poverty/weakness, insult/deceive/convert one another and should learn to respect the faith and beliefs of the others. It is funny if one organ tries to dominate others and/or convert other organs too as itself. Every person has a role in this world. God is not different to different religions. It is one God who gives everything but, through different forms as chosen and believed by the seekers. Truth is truth and intelligent Man should understand and accept it, irrespective of one's own liking or disliking. Every one should obey to the common cause and work for preserving the truths, for the generations to get the advantage of this knowledge.
As the speech ended with the Mangalasasanams all the members have expressed their joy for blessing such a wonderful message.
