The newspaper reported that the programme brought different faiths together through puja, prayer, dua and ardas.
It also covered the participation of distinguished guests and representatives from India, the USA, Bangkok, Finland and Canada.
Most importantly, the report presented Krishna Guruji’s message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. It also highlighted the proposal to dedicate 11 August every year to interfaith prayer, humanity and world peace.
Hundreds From 27 Countries Supported the Global Pledge
Hundreds of participants from 27 countries attended the online programme. Moreover, people from different faiths and cultures shared one digital platform.
The participants supported the proposal that 11 August should be observed every year as International Interfaith Prayer Day and Global Healing Day.
This was not a call to promote any particular religion. Instead, it was a collective effort to unite all religions through humanity, compassion and world peace.
The participants agreed that at least one day every year should be dedicated to a global prayer. On that day, people should rise above religious and geographical boundaries.
The Programme Began With India’s National Anthem
The programme began with India’s National Anthem, “Jana Gana Mana.” Participants who joined from different parts of the world stood together and sang the anthem.
This moment expressed love and respect for India. At the same time, it reflected India’s ancient message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam—the world is one family.
Therefore, the National Anthem became the beginning of a wider prayer for the entire world.
Consul Suresh Kumar Sharma Joined From Seattle
Shri Suresh Kumar Sharma, Consul at the Consulate General of India in Seattle, USA, joined the programme as the Chief Guest.
He appreciated the work carried out by Krishna Guruji for humanity and world peace during the past 11 years.
He said that initiatives which connect people through humanity are important in today’s world. Furthermore, he expressed his willingness to support this meaningful mission.

Distinguished Guests Represented Different Faiths
Several respected guests and faith representatives joined the 11th Global Healing Day.
- Shri Suresh Kumar Sharma, Consul, Consulate General of India, Seattle, USA
- Smt. Vaishali Tushar Urumkar, first woman Vice President associated with Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bangkok
- Brahma Kumari Hemlata Didi, Regional Director, Indore Zone
- Jeevan Mukti, Kundalini Awakening researcher from Finland
- Tariq Abbasi Ji, representing the Muslim community from Indore
- Baljinder Samra Ji, representing the Sikh community from Canada
Each speaker expressed the idea of universal unity in a different way. Nevertheless, the central message remained the same: the whole world is one family.
Sikh Ardas Prays for the Welfare of Everyone
Baljinder Samra Ji joined the programme from Canada. He explained the universal message contained in the Sikh ardas.
He said that while offering ardas, the Sikh community prays for the welfare of the whole world. The prayer is not limited to one religion, community or country.
This spiritual feeling is expressed through the words “Sarbat Da Bhala.” It means welfare and blessings for everyone.
Thus, Sikh ardas beautifully supports the purpose of International Interfaith Prayer Day.
Dua Remembers the Entire World
Tariq Abbasi Ji represented the Muslim community. He explained that sincere dua remembers the needs and welfare of the entire world.
Prayer should not remain limited to one person or community. Instead, it should carry compassion for every human being.
His message strengthened the belief that methods of prayer may differ. However, the feeling of humanity remains universal.
Jeevan Mukti Shared the Message of One World Family
Jeevan Mukti joined the programme from Finland. She spoke about the idea of a “One World Family.”
She said that religions may appear different from the outside. However, their fundamental purpose is to connect one human being with another.
Therefore, religion should create compassion and unity. It should never become a cause of separation.
Peace Must Begin Within the Individual
Brahma Kumari Hemlata Didi said that the entire world is one family. She also explained that world peace must begin within the individual.
First, peace should develop in the human mind. Then, that peace reaches the family. Gradually, it reaches society, the nation and the world.
Consequently, an inner prayer can become the foundation of global peace.
Interfaith Dialogue Supports a Culture of Peace
The message of the programme also connects with international efforts for interfaith harmony.
The United Nations recognises mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue as important parts of a culture of peace.
Its
World Interfaith Harmony Week
encourages people of different religions to promote harmony and goodwill.
Similarly, the proposed International Interfaith Prayer Day on 11 August can encourage people to pray together for humanity.

Bangkok Programme Shifted Online
The 11th Global Healing Day was originally planned as a physical programme in Bangkok. Preparations for the gathering had also begun.
However, the organisers decided to postpone their foreign travel. This decision was taken while respecting Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s national appeal regarding non-essential overseas travel.
Therefore, the entire programme was conducted online. As a result, hundreds of people from 27 countries could participate from their homes.
The online format also delivered an important message. Prayer does not depend on physical distance. Moreover, humanity has no geographical boundary.
Krishna Guruji’s Message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam
Addressing the global gathering, Krishna Guruji Krishnakant Mishra said:
“The world is one family. The Sanatan message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam connects us with this universal feeling. Our purpose is not to promote any one religion. Instead, our purpose is to bring all religions together for humanity and world peace.”
He said that every religion follows its own method of worship. Likewise, the languages and traditions of prayer may be different.
However, the true emotion behind every sincere prayer is the same. Everyone wants humanity to remain safe. Everyone also wants peace to prevail throughout the world.
A Collective Pledge for 11 August
The most important outcome of the programme was a collective global pledge.
Guests, faith representatives and hundreds of participants from 27 countries supported the proposal that 11 August should be recognised as International Interfaith Prayer Day and Global Healing Day.
Krishna Guruji and the organisations associated with this mission have begun efforts to take this proposal forward.
The purpose is to dedicate 11 August every year to:
- Interfaith prayer
- Humanity and compassion
- Mutual respect
- Global harmony
- Good health and emotional well-being
- World peace
On this day, temples may offer puja. Mosques may offer dua. Gurudwaras may offer ardas. Churches and other places of faith may offer prayers according to their traditions.
Yet, every prayer can carry one shared intention: peace and welfare for the entire world.
Why 11 August Should Become Interfaith Prayer Day
The world has many international observances
. However, humanity also needs a dedicated day for collective interfaith prayer.
Such a day can bring people closer without asking them to change their faith. It can respect every religion while keeping humanity at the centre.
Therefore, 11 August can become an annual reminder of our shared responsibility towards one another.
The message is simple:
“Your method of prayer may be different from mine. However, we can still pray together for the same humanity.”
For this reason, the participants resolved to continue the movement until 11 August receives wider recognition as International Interfaith Prayer Day.
Do For Nation = Donation
Before concluding the programme, Krishna Guruji shared another important national message: “Donation means Do For Nation.”
He requested Indian citizens to make national celebrations more meaningful through a small act of contribution.
On Independence Day and Republic Day,
citizens may contribute a minimum amount according to their capacity to the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund.
Krishna Guruji said:
“If you have received any benefit from my healing or guidance, please take the Do For Nation = Donation movement forward. On 15 August and 26 January, contribute a small amount to the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund. Gradually, make this practice a habit and part of your national character.”
The purpose is not the size of the donation. Instead, the purpose is to develop a sense of participation and responsibility towards the nation.
Anyone wishing to contribute should use only the
official Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund website
.
Invitation to the Daily Online Healing Session
At the conclusion, Krishna Guruji invited everyone to join his regular online sessions.
These sessions are conducted daily from 8:30 PM to 9:00 PM IST. They focus on meditation, self-awareness, spiritual healing and service to humanity.
The sessions follow Krishna Guruji’s message: “You are a born healer.”
According to this philosophy, a guide can help awaken awareness. However, people should also recognise their own inner strength.

Spiritual healing and meditation are complementary practices. They should not replace medical diagnosis, prescribed medicines or professional healthcare.
Gratitude to Guests and Participants
Ganapati Jayalakshmi Ji conducted the programme. At the end, Krishnan Ranganathan Ji from the USA presented the vote of thanks.
Krishna Guruji expressed gratitude to all the guests, faith representatives, volunteers and participants.
Special thanks were offered to Smt. Vaishali Tushar Urumkar Ji and the Bangkok team. Their cooperation remained valuable even after the physical Bangkok programme was shifted online.
Krishna Guruji also thanked participants from
every country who stayed connected and prayed for others.
One Humanity, One Prayer
The 11th Global Healing Day concluded with a collective prayer for health, love, compassion and world peace.
The programme left behind three timeless messages:
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam—The World Is One Family.
One Humanity, One Prayer.
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu—May All Beings Everywhere Be Happy and Free.
Faiths may be many. Languages may be different. Nations may have separate geographical boundaries. Yet, humanity remains one.
: Let 11 August become International Interfaith Prayer Day
—a day when the whole world prays together as one family.
11 August. Let us pray together. Let us create a more peaceful world.
