Joint Celebrations

Reports

In Bangalore Christmas is an important festival. Reading of your efforts I have decided to buy a plum cake from Koshy’s and give it to the new Muslim neighbours who are keeping to themselves. Guess this gesture will bring them closer to the community. I am also going to tell my friend on the committee to include them in celebrations.
This cake idea came from COVA. Thankyou

Time to celebrate every faith that serves humanity irrespective of class, caste and creed. Just embrace each and all with the colours of love. When love blooms the paradise is there, blossoming with peace and harmony. Need to ignite the spark within to conquer the darkness within and without.

Multi Faith Celebrations would be the most effective and highly Ethical Mode to bring about reunification of the Human Race, as one Single Global Family, thereby putting into practice the Concept of Vasudevam Kutumbukam :

Saha Dharma Samabhava– Affection for every religion has foundation in the traditions of our country. Every Festival has a purpose and a reason that should be shared with our neighbours and their families from other religions to make every festival a festival of unity and a celebration for humanity!

Need to Respect Sensitivities
Time for Multi Faith Celebrations of All Festivals to promote positive bonds in society. But Multi Faith Celebrations should be Cultural Interactions without participation in any religious practices or rituals  unless the Guests offer to be involved. A little Care & Communal Harmony is Guaranteed in Society

Laudable initiative
Sankranthi Baisakhi/Lori combine is round the corner. These should also be included in the list of festivals for Multi Faith Celebrations!
It is a festival cluster that is celebrated involuntarily – at the kite flying level – by youth of all faiths.
