Swami Nikhilanand's Inaugural Address at the Hindu Jewish Solidarity Day

Swami Nikhilanand, disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, Inaugural Address at the Hindu Jewish Solidarity Day in January 2011.

This is an update to some previous posts. Swami Nikhilanand of JKP Barsana Dham, the US Ashram of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, led an invocation in Sanskrit and spoke to his Jewish brothers and sisters on behalf of Hinduism, and joined Jews in an Israeli dance.

The "First Annual Hindu-Jewish Solidarity Day" has broken the ice, created immense goodwill and has laid the foundation for more strategic work and synergy between Hindus and Jews.

One blogger commented: "Here are two groups of people of different faiths that are able to respect each other and coexist. It doesn't happen often enough. This is very cool."

Another commented: "Hope such Hindu-Jewish bonhomie can be replicated in other cities in USA, Canada, UK/Europe and Australia. Keep up the good work."
