Pune, Oct 6 (Reporter) Amidst ongoing conflicts in some parts of the world, if one follows the essence of Indian culture that was aptly conveyed by Swami Vivekananda through his message that all religions and citizens were equal, then there will be true peace in the world, observed Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Sunday. Speaking at the valedictory function of 10th World Parliament organised by MIT World Peace University here, he said, "Our Indian culture is one of the oldest in the world and does not call for any discrimination on the basis of religion, caste or creed. But with the changing times, we have forgotten it, social problems and domestic crises have arisen. If everyone practices the principles and values of Indian culture, it will help in establishing true peace in the world." Talking about importance of Indian Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita, he said, "There is no mention of discrimination in Indian culture. Religion of Indian citizens, culture, customs, the catering methods are different, yet their origin is the same." "So, we Indian citizens are one and the same. We want to try to take that culture forward. Spirituality is about having a sense of love and intimacy for the other person," he noted. "In view of the current situation, we have to remember the message of Swami Vivekananda. For him, all religions and citizens were equal. That is the feeling we want to create. Through this, we will be able to create real peace in the country and the world," added Khan...////...
