Therefore it is also important to narrate the religious values in the local languages. Often, there are communication or language barriers while trying to understand the teachings of other religions.
Stating that peace is the supreme value, and self-realisation is must to find peace in everyone and in the self, Jabbar Samo called upon the people forgive each other.
Brahmakumari Ishwariya Vishwavidyalaya Mangaluru campus in-charge B K Vishweshwari said that peace is the main religion of all and both the internal and external peace are equally important. Communal disharmony that we witness today is due to the lack of true spiritual knowledge and presence of wrong notions.
A J Hospital Medicine Department Head Dr E V S Maben said that peace is tranquility, harmony, security and prosperity put together. Quoting Bible he said blessed are the peacemakers because they are the children of God. Simple acts of caring and sharing can make us peacemakers.
