By: USOH Hindus have applauded the groundbreaking agreement between Vatican and Arab League to work together to promote peace and justice in the world, and called it a “step in the right direction”. Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that it was wonderful to watch the world’s two major organizations coming together and opening a new chapter in cooperation and intercultural and interreligious dialogue. Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, pointed out that serious and honest interfaith dialogue was the need of the hour. Religion was the most powerful, complex and far-reaching force in our society, so we must take it seriously. And we all knew that religion comprised much more than our own particular tradition/experience, Zed stressed. Rajan Zed further says that in our shared pursuit for the truth, we can learn from one another and thus can arrive nearer to the truth. This dialogue may help us vanquish the stereotypes, prejudices, caricatures, etc., passed on to us from previous generations. As dialogue brings us reciprocal enrichment, we shall be spiritually richer than before the contact. Roman Catholic Church, headed by Pope Benedict and headquartered in Vatican, is the largest of Christian denominations. Islam and Hinduism are the second and third largest religions of the world respectively. End
