New Delhi, Feb 20: Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday praised Prince Dara Shukoh’s
writings saying these were a 'a refreshing source for infusing peace
and harmony' whenever people were confronted by narrow walls that divide humanity and conflicts that
result in needless violence.
Speaking on the principles of Sufism, the Vice President said
these were highly relevant to break down narrow prejudices and bring people together, especially in today’s
world of materialism, consumerism and growing religious fundamentalism.
He was addressing the gathering after visiting the exhibition
that showcases the forgotten Prince of yesteryears Dara Shukoh organised by French political writer and
journalist Francois Gautier, at Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts here on Tuesday.
He further said all religions seek to unite people and the common strand in each of them, including Sufism, is spiritualism, tolerance and respect for others. There is a greater need today to put into practice some of the meaningful teachings of Sufi saints to bring harmony between all groups of society and break down divisive walls between communities, he added.
Terming his message as 'relevant for all times', Mr Naidu called the exhibition most timely and could help in better understand humanity’s eternal quest for peace, harmony and love.
He further said Prince Dara Shukoh, one of the sons of Emperor Shah Jehan grew up under the unmistakable influence of the teachings of Sufi saint Shaik Muin-uddin Chisti. UNI
