"Jagat satya!"

[Jagannath Chatterjee]

Dear Vidyasankarji,

Namaskar.

I am fully in agreement with you.Regarding the
emphasis on the harmony of religions we have to see it
from a global angle conforming to the views of Sw.
Vivekananda. Today there is consternation among the
Churches (Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical et al)
regarding the rush of Christians to Hinduism. They are
also worried about Islam after 9/11. At this point we
require the experiences of a saint who has practised
all the three religions and extracted the subtle
truths. This does not go against the concepts of
Hinduism which is actually the Sanatana Dharma. If in
the process there can come about a reconciliation
among the big three (I share your scepticism in this
regard), well and good.


Regards.

Jagannath
