Glimpses of world Religions
for the purpose of organisation. In fact, religiousness is one. If, with the help of booklet 'Sarva Dharma Darshan' religions are introduced to us, it will be useful in the judicious interpretation of a religion.
Generally, after studying the philosophies of the various religions of the world, it will be realised that no particular religion considers the other one inferior; yet, the sentiment of composure or love and respect for all religions as found in the Indian systems of philosophy, has given the best understanding of the supreme generosity credited to it. There are many ways of realising vicinity to God. Hence this land of Bharat is construed to be an Aryan land which gives convenience to each for following his own religion. That is why, perhaps, the holy land of Bharat is regarded as the maternal family - home of religion and spiritualism.
Munishri Santbaaljee made experimental deeds to accelerate the work of "equal love and respect for all religions" through the Universal love - Prayogik Sangh at Mahavirnagar International Centre at Chinchani, through the efforts of Reverend Dr. Tarulatajee - the disciple of revered lady-saint Lalitabai Swami. And it became a source of inspiration for the publication of this booklet.
We are lucky to have the guidance of learned professor Dr. Rasikbhai Mehta. I am indebted to him. As to the work of writing. I have got the constant co-operation of my wife Dr. Madhubehn Barvalia, throughout.
I am also indebted to Sri Navneetbhai Sheth of the S.P.R. Jain Kanya Shala Trust, as also to Shramanee Vidyapith at Ghatkopar and to Mahavirnagar Chinchni Library sponsored by Munishri Santbaaljee, and also to Dr. Rasikbhai Mehta and' Preetibehn Dedbiya, for facilitating availability of the reference volumes.
I also thank Murabbi Shree Dhanjibhai and Ashokbhai Shah of Navbharat Sahitya Mandir, Mumbai.
