Interfaith Harmony and Peace
We all belong to different religions and regions, with different customs and traditions.
But we should not let this create disharmony or hatred between us. As we know, India stands strong with unity in diversity.
In this entry, I would like to share what I learned from the event at my school (Fr. Agnel Noida) – Agnel Jayanti 2026 this year, 21st January, which followed the theme:
“God’s Voice Heard in Diverse Ways”.
This captured the moral of spiritual unity, explained inspiringly by the chief guest speaker, Sadhvi Ruchika Bharti.
First thing first, we all have faith in God. Moreover, we are the people of India and, to top it off, we are all human beings. This is what unites us despite our diverse ways.
So, we should not create hatred; instead, respect everyone, which builds harmony, peace, and love.
Ma’am Sadhvi talked about God being referred to as divine light in all the religious and sacred books.
She also talked about opening the third eye, which is a symbol for our consciousness. Opening our eyes means being more mindful and conscious, being open-minded.
Learning from the 1st demonstration:
Different shapes of circles have different diameter/radius, circumference, and area.
But there is one common factor in those circles, and that is pi (π) [circumference of circle = 2πr, area of circle = πr²].
And pi (π) is known with different names and symbols throughout the world or historic regions (Archimedes’ constant, Ludolphian number, etc.).
Similarly, people believe in God in diverse ways, have diverse customs, traditions, and origins.
But they have a common factor of humanity in them and so stay united.
2nd demonstration:
A ball was kept in a sock inside a box; few students who volunteered were given a blindfold and were told that it was a pet. They had to guess the pet by sense of touch. None realized it was not a pet until they removed the blindfold.
Ma’am Sadhvi wanted to explain through this that often times people are too blinded by their ego to seek out the truth, so we need to open our eyes and see the reality.
We should practice mindfulness and peace by breathing exercises.
It was explained that, as we know, the pulse is considered the life source and an indication of health.
We should practice respiration by taking deep breathes and meditation to feel the pulse. This practice brings us closer to God.
This improves focus, it makes us feel relaxed during a hectic day, and it also takes away stress as we calm down.
Let’s be respectful of others and spread peace and harmony.
