Im interested in reading about different religions and bridging the gap - showing them that all religions originate from the same source.richard wrote:Other than the questions surrounding Niranjan, i hope your stay here is fruitful for you. Some of your interests in your profile suggest you are light hearted and of good humor. As far as potential discussions go, what are the most important & compelling topics for you?
Including me, there are only 4 Bahais at my university and we have set up a Bahai Society (I think you Americans would call it a "Bahai campus association") and thats what our events are based on. The other students who attend it love it.

Exactly. This is one of the Bahai beliefs. There is also a Bahai prayer which relates to this:
O SON OF BEING!
Love Me, that I may love thee.
If thou lovest Me not, My love can in
no wise reach thee.
Know this, O servant.
God is telling us that if we dont love Him, his love cant reach us.
You can read some more here:

IF you want to find the above prayer on the link i have given you, look at #5 from the top.
The Hidden Words are a set of Short prayers and each one focuses on the essence of spirituality.

Namaste, Niranjan
I forgot to mention, since youre in India, did you know that the Lotus temple in New Delhi is a Bahai house of worship, but its open to everyone - its for people of all religions and races.
Go there if you get the chance to... I wish i was there right now
