"When I first read the Bhagavad Gita it was such an inspiration that I replaced my personal Blog on http://www.ishwar.com with the full contents of the Gita," said site creator, Ishwar Joshi. "What I had to say felt so insignificant next to it. I then read the Bible, Quran, Dhammapada and others cover to cover, found them equally amazing and kept adding them to the site one after the other."
This past week has brought us outrageous and senseless violence in Australia and Pakistan perpetuated by terrorists who claim to be Muslims. The fact that these terrorists say they are following Islam is ironic and indication of their misguidedness because the meaning of the word Islam is Peace. Wikipedia quotes that "Islam is a verbal noun originating from the triliteral root s-l-m which forms a large class of words mostly relating to concepts of wholeness, safeness and peace."
"Our world has many religions and they all need to co-exist," continued Ishwar. "Every country's history and national anthem sings about how it's a great nation and unique. However, humanity has evolved to appreciate that the world is full of other nations that need to co-exist peacefully. This maturity appears to be lacking when it comes to religions. We know about our religion and have some prejudices & self-formed opinions about other religions. My website lets you get informed about the various religions so that the prejudices, ignorance, fear or hatred is replaced by knowledge and understanding."
What can we learn after exploring the various world religions and their sacred texts? Peace is the answer to terror.
