SPIRITUAL UNION — One God of humankind, One human family

Spiritual Union seeks to enlarge humanity's sense of identity—from separate religious and national communities toward ONE Human Family—without demanding religious uniformity. Religions can start working on strengthening the common values of human dignity, compassion, justice and peaceful coexistence. Unity need not mean uniformity: religious, cultural and national differences can remain, but as differences within one human family, or within different sects in each religion, rather than boundaries between competing human groups.

THE BOOK — The Foundation of Spiritual Union

The book, In Search of the Universal God, is based on 40 years of research of scriptures of different religions. It reveals a common understanding of the Supreme Being among four major religions, each pointing towards the same Supreme Being- ONE God of humankind.

Major conclusion of the book:

The God of humankind is a loving, merciful, compassionate and a non-partisan God. He does not practice religious apartheid. Therefore, He does not discriminate against anybody for being a Hindu, a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, or a practitioner of any other faith. The God of humankind also makes no distinction between believers, seekers, atheists, agnostics, or nones. He loves us all equally, abundantly, and unconditionally.

The background:

I was born in a Hindu family and educated in a Jesuit school. As a child, I was so confused about religion. I saw Christians worshipping a different God in their churches, while we Hindus worshipped other Gods at home and in our temples.

Back then, two questions troubled me the most.

  1. Why do people worship different Gods?
  2. Who is the REAL God of humankind?

“In Search of the Universal God” is a unifying journey to explore the possibility that different religions may ultimately be referring to One Creator or One God of humankind through different names, languages and theological traditions.
