SARVA DHARMA SANSAD

The seven revolutionary principles are unique and interconnected in such a way that it encompasses spirituality, social justice, compassion and ultimately one's religious duties. Following all the principles or even two or three of them satisfies the needs of the individuals who are looking for food for their souls.

Again it could be such a politically productive and proactive moment that it is bound to touch/reach larger percentage of population than any scheme introduced by the states. YET IT IS NON-POLITICAL!!
Governing/managing/reaching out to any group of people is a mammoth task involving every kind of managerial, spiritual, judicial and soul touching activities. Governments, parties, industries or any kind of organizations has to follow the essence of the seven principles of Sarva Dharma Sansad at one time or the other for being successful.

This in turn leads us to the topic of the way the Parliament of Country functions where issues are discussed, evolved, debated and resolutions are passed for the entire country. The motivation is having the power to dominate in running the country/state.
Parliament of Religions has discussed, evolved, debated on the issues related to common man and passed resolutions applicable for all faith for the entire country. It visualizes common good through common goal by common man.
YET IT IS NON-RELIGIOUS.

The Parliament brings together multi-background, multi-parties with multi agenda and multi ideologies- independent yet working together. It is a platform for planning and solving visible materialistic situational issues.

The Sarva Dharma Sansad is the one Parliament where multi-religious-could be explosive!!-social thinkers would like to work for the one agenda i.e. upliftment of the society which is the soul of the country. It believes in raising the standard and quality of the society.

When members of the Parliament are elected people know them only partially because after election the members become almost invisible and unapproachable and people are not sure of the issues being solved. That is to say people are working on permutation and combinations as to how many of the promises would be addressed in the Parliament. A few representatives of the people take up the discussions. This does not necessarily end-up benefiting larger sections of the people.

Whereas members of the Sarva Dharma Sansad have already proved their dedication for the common man in one field and are looking for people's participations in bringing about a revolutions in the social system. In essence it could become a parallel Parliament, which addresses issues that pose a real threat to a Real Healthy Society.

The Sarva Dharma Sansad members seems to go with the thinking that they live their religious affiliations at home and come forward and be a part of Big Social Change.
