The Programme was started with lighting of lamp and Manglacharan and prayers from Hinduism and Islam. Prof. Sumita Roy welcomed all the guest for the seminar. She said quest for peace is as ancient as the world. Religion is also a requirement for this life. Lama Doboom Tulku, Founder Managing Trustee World Buddhist Culture Trust has given introduction about the seminar. He said this year we are celebrating 150 birth year anniversary of Swami Vivekanda.

As Dalai Lama quoted that “all major religious traditions carry basically the same message that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.” Although there are differences among religions but they are better human beings who has mutual respect to others. He said further as Dalai Lama said I have one dream that with this century the world should become human friendly. To achieve this we need to have oneness. He quoted several good authors like Albert Cameran, Jigan Krishna Murhty etc. He said everyone has one or more dream to achieve that we have to be human family. He feels we have to initiate a dialogue with Hinduism, Islam and other religions to achieve oneness. This conference will bring the ground reality of the religions to work together and reach oneness.

Prof. M. S. N. Reddy, Registrar Osmania University said in his inaugural address that the primary aim of any religion is to broaden the minds for the good of the society. The fundamental of any religion is to reach God. He said a truly religious person is pure from heart and soul. He said Islam has also enlightened to bring peace. Each religion has its own value.
