The Whole World is One Family - Pujya Brahmavihari Swami at Human Fraternity Meeting

The complete inaugural speech (26 mins) of P. Brahmavihari Swami of BAPS at The Global Conference of Human Fraternity, Abu Dhabi. 3 February 2019. Outstanding and Astounding !
Celebrating 2019 as the Year of Tolerance, the UAE organized a historic Global Conference of Human Fraternity in conjunction with the visit of His Holiness Pope Francis, first ever to the UAE by a sitting pope. The two-day conference, held at the regal Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, was the first of its kind in the Arab world, and was graced by more than 700 religious leaders, clerics and scholars representing the Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist and other faiths from across the world. Representing the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, Pujya Brahmavihari Swami was specially requested by the Royal Court to deliver the keynote address in the inaugural session in this unique conference hosted by the Muslim Council of Elders under the patronage of the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Inaugurating the conference on 3 February, HE Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Tolerance, said, “This gathering enables us to counter the extremism, prejudice, hate, aggression, greed and oppression that violate the very idea of human fraternity.”
Pujya Brahmavihari Swami further explained his own experience within the UAE. “I stand here as a witness to the UAE’s tolerance and inclusiveness by granting land for the BAPS Hindu Mandir.”
The UAE’s spirit of global harmony was at the forefront of this first Global Conference of Human Fraternity which was hosted by The Muslim Council of Elders, with an inaugural keynote address by a Hindu sadhu and the concluding address by HH Pope Francis at The Founder’s Memorial. The message of peace, harmony and fraternity was loud and clear - “Either we build the future together, or have no future.” #BrahmavihariSwamiPravachan #BrahmavihariSwami #InspirationalSpeech
