Over 2.5 mn people from all religions visited BAPS Temple in Abu Dhabi in past year: Brahmavihari Swami
Dubai: Spiritual leader Brahmavihari Swami said that more than 2.5 million people from across religions, races, and regions have visited the BAPS Temple in Abu Dhabi in the past year. He stated that the temple has become a spiritual oasis for global harmony, where people come, pray, and go back with greater joy and love in their own lives. Speaking to ANI on the sidelines of the Global Justice, Love, and Peace Summit in Dubai on Sunday, Brahmavihari Swami said that the temple was gifted by Abu Dhabi Ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, guided by Mahant Swami Maharaj, and has been the integral effort of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who, he said, believes in creating more harmony across India and the world. About the response received by BAPS Temple in Abu Dhabi, he said, "In the last one year, more than 2.5 million people have come, and people have come not just from the Hindu community, from across world, religions and races and regions. The Mandir itself, the journey itself was one of harmony, where more than 70,000 people have come forward to place a brick to make the mandir and the mandir that has been made, it has become a spiritual oasis for global harmony where people come, pray, and go back with greater joy and love in their own life." "So, it shows that religions can coexist, that countries can help one another, where culture can no longer be a point of conflict, but it creates cohesion. So, the Mandir in Abu Dhabi, which has been gifted by the generous generosity of the Ruler of Abu Dhabi, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the entire family and which has been actually guided by His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj Maharaj and inspired by him, but it has been the integral effort of our Prime Minister Narendrabhai Modi, who genuinely believes in creating more harmony across our nation and across the world," he added. The BAPS Temple, the first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi on February 14 last year. Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahyan, the Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence for the UAE, was also present at the inauguration. Brahmavihari Swami called harmony the most important thing and highlighted its importance in a family and nation. He stated that harmony is very important and stressed that it is the role of every person, whether professional, educational, or spiritual, to generate more harmony. At the Global Justice, Love and Peace Summit, he said, "The most important thing, in my opinion, is harmony. We can have great countries, strong nations. We can have enlightened communities, but if we cannot live in harmony, then there's no purpose. Even the strongest nations, if they are not harmonious, are rogue nations. Even the biggest corporations, if they are not harmonious, are not comfortable for the people who work for them. Even the wealthiest family, if it's not harmonious, then it's a broken family, and even an individual, if he or she is not harmonious with herself, her thoughts, then it's a very terrible depressed life." "So harmony is very important and it is not just the role of religions to generate harmony, but every field, whether it's professional, whether it's educational, whether it's you know people that create industrial and whether it's spiritual, everybody has to play that part to generate more and more harmony. So I'm really glad that an effort is being made with this Global Justice Love and Peace Summit in Dubai where people from all different fields and professions, the best and the most excellent people, have gathered together to spend time for thinking about harmony, communicativeness, love and justice and I'm very, very happy and privileged to be a part of this entire programme," he added. The Global Justice, Love, and Peace Summit is taking place in Dubai from April 12-13. The gathering is dedicated to the ideals of justice, love and peace.

UAE: Nobel laureates, influencers redefine love, discuss 'creating culture of peace' at summit
'The way I heard love being defined today was mind-boggling,' said Arif, a student of Arts and Statistics at Amity University. 'I always thought love just existed within family and close friends. But I have come to realise that real love is about humanity.' Arif was among the hundreds of students attending the Global Justice, Love and Peace Summit, themed 'One Planet, One Voice' on Saturday which took place in Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City. What he and many others took away from the event was more than inspiration; it was a shift in perspective. 'When we begin to love strangers and pray for them the same way we pray for ourselves, that's when love transcends,' Arif said. 'If everyone followed this, peace and justice wouldn't be ideals; they would be realities. This event has transformed the way I think about life, relationships, and the world around me.' Held under the banner of the 'I am Peacekeeper Movement' and chaired by Dr Huzaifa Khorakiwala, the summit brought together Nobel Peace laureates, thought leaders, youth, and influencers across diverse sectors in a call to action for a more compassionate and just world. 'We hosted this summit to bring together vital voices, from politics, business, Nobel Peace Prize winners, and even the glamour world, because when they speak on justice, love and peace, the world listens,' said Dr Khorakiwala. 'Justice protects dignity and rights, love brings kindness and compassion, and peace begins from within. If a person finds inner peace, they naturally create peace around them.' He highlighted that inner peace is rooted in seven core human values: gratitude, forgiveness, love, humility, giving, patience, and truth. 'Regardless of politics or religion, these values guide individuals to peace within, and that's the first step towards peace in the world,' he said. A key highlight of the summit was its focus on empowering youth. The organisers partnered with schools and universities to include students in the dialogue, believing that instilling values at a young age can have a lasting impact. 'Their minds are young, like soft clay,' said Dr Khorakiwala. 'It's like writing something now that will be etched on their hearts forever.' He added that youth are the torchbearers of tomorrow, and if moulded with the right values, can positively influence the course of humanity. 'We plan to organise this summit regularly and to use social media to spread our message far and wide.' Riya Malhotra, a psychology student from Amity, also shared how the summit left a lasting impression on her. 'Listening to global leaders talk about love, justice, and peace made me realise how interconnected we all are,' she said. 'I have always believed in mental well-being, and today I understood how inner peace is not just personal, it can influence families, communities, even nations.' Ahead of the summit, world-renowned voices joined the call for change. Lech Wałęsa, former President of Poland and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, underlined the need for a new world order. 'We must build a global framework that integrates freedom, human rights, and universally accepted values,' he said. 'Even in discomfort, we search for better paths forward. Dialogue is how we'll find common ground.' Former President of Mauritius, Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, who will moderate a session titled 'Beloved Mother Earth, Our Home: Can Love for the Planet Inspire a More Sustainable Future?', pointed out how peace has become a political tool in some parts of the world. 'Peace brings stability, and stability brings prosperity,' she said. 'We must move away from war economies and focus on building infrastructure, livelihoods, and a culture of peace.' From royalty and judiciary to business icons and film stars, the summit served as a platform for a united call: to place humanity, inner peace, and shared values at the centre of the global dialogue.
