Spirit of Religions

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

What is our conception of religion in these modern times? When looking back through history, or thinking about the current situation, people sometimes quickly come to the conclusion that there is no need for religion. Every religion has made a great contribution to human civilization and creativity, enriching both the arts and culture, and above all, human life in its infinite aspects. A proper understanding of religious values and principles, as well as their practical application, can improve human life.

Often people do not get the chance to understand the true spirit of the various religions. An open mind, love in the heart, as well as inner experience are needed to gain this understanding.

Paramahamsa Hariharananda was a visionary and a great soul who loved all religions equally. He was free of religious dogma and fanatical ideas. His method of teaching was unique, and his views were broad and inclusive, and touched the heart. As a mystic, he was able to enrich the lives of countless people, irrespective of their religious backgrounds, who loved him as their own prophet or holy person.

This compilation, presenting the major religions of the world and their key principles, aims to offer the layperson an appreciation of their underlying unity, and lead to an enlightened and universal perspective. Unity in diversity is the beauty of humanity. We can weave this fabric of unity with the threads of love and understanding. May this vision of the great master create an integrated bond of love and understanding within humanity.
