Inspiration across Faiths: A dialogue on Faith and Friendship between Sri Madhusudan Sai & Rabbi Alon Goshen-Gottstein
Sri Madhusudan Sai is a longtime friend of Founder and director of Elijah Interfaith Institute, Rabbi Alon Goshen-Gottstein. He is also a supporter of the Assisi Global House of Friendship and Hope.
Sri Madhusudan Sai is a noted Hindu leader, based near Bangalore with centers worldwide, including in Assisi. What is the draw of Assisi for him as a Hindu? What lessons does it hold for his students? What does St. Francis represent for him? How is the message of Assisi universal?
Service, doing good to others, are the hallmark of saints and they remain a source of inspiration for all generations, and especially for the young generation. A method for discussion of the texts and teachings of other religions is offered, leading from discussion to spiritual experience.
With a rabbi and a Swami exploring the spiritual significance of what is typically considered a Christian holy site, new horizons in contemporary religion and spirituality open up.
