Description
Summary:I firmly believe that we have gone beyond the age of conversions. It is an age of dialogue. We have differing beliefs. but we must dialogue with each other to understand each other's convictions. The great religions of the world. in my humble opinion. really did not believe in the kind of conversions which came into practice later on. It became a cause for a great deal of violence. I include both Christianity and Islam in this category. It is wrong to say. if we go by scriptures that there is no injunction in Holy Ouran to convert anybody to that particular faith. On the contrary. there are two clearly laid out things in Ouran. One is that Ouran does not giveyou any new truth. It only preaches to you the truth which was already preached by other prophets. What is already there amongst you. we have come to confirm the truth.
