OUR VISION
- In the trouble-torn World Today, Interfaith Understanding is the only Way. As it is said: there cannot be peace in the world without peace among communities and there cannot be peace among communities without interfaith dialogue and understanding.
- The root cause of religious conflicts is lop-sided and wrong interpretation and understanding of the religion and culture.
