All religions are same when it comes to health and happiness

07 July, 2012

In matters of health and happiness, all religions have the same message - stay wealthy to stay happy. In a seminar, I and other speakers emphasized on this message.

The speakers were addressing the audience in seminar organized jointly by Heart Care Foundation of India and Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan at Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan in New Delhi. The basic message relayed was that all religions point to the same objective throuhg different ways and say that in welfare of all lies welfare of an individual and the other way around.

Dr. Karan Singh, MP and Chairman ISSER, while delivering the key note address, observed that all religions have a common wisdom - to tap into one's consciousness even as different names are given to consciousness. Dr. Singh added that God is an eternal, and all-pervasive force, and this can't be extinguished by fire or in any other way. Health can be attained by being moral and being rightious.

Other speakers in the seminar included Maulana Wahiduddin, President, Islamic Centre on Islam and Health, Mr. Sunil Kumar on Hinduism, Fr. Mathew Abraham, CDCI on Christianity, Dr Dinyar Patel on Zoroastrianism, Dr. A K Merchant on Bahai Faith, Ezekiel Isaac Malekar on Judaism, Shri Paramjeet Singh Sarna on Sikhism, Dr. T D Kartsang, Head, Tibetan Medical Institute on Buddhism, Samani Rohit Pragya and Samani Mimansa Pragya on Jainism.
