Talk at Parliament of the World's Religions
Faith Based Education in Human Values
for a Sustainable Future
The Institute of Sathya Sai Education was a presenter at the 2009 Parliament of the World's Religions. One presentation was given by Dr Pal Dhall, Director of the Institute on Faith Based Education and sustainable futures. During the presentation, Dr Pal Dhall went on to say, Sathya Sai Philosophy, while not primarily for addressing the ecological challenges of the time, has a vital application to our present worldwide dilemma. This philosophy is based on the principle of Oneness and recognition of the Divine core in all creation. The natural extension of this is an ethic of love, respect and care for all for living and non-living beings, for nature and for the five elements of space, air, fire, water and earth.
