International Summit of Religious Leaders in Malaysia

Malaysia : Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji addressed the 2nd International Summit of Religious Leaders in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 28th August 2025 on the theme : “The Role of Religious Leaders in Conflict Resolution – Understanding Root Causes and Developing Solutions.”

Pujya Swamiji emphasised the eternal principles of Sanatan Dharma, noting that true religion is not about division but about dharma — righteousness, compassion, and unity. Quoting from the Bhagavad Gita, Pujya Swamiji reminded that ignorance and uncontrolled desires are the true enemies of peace, and that non-violence (Ahimsa Paramo Dharmah) must guide humanity. Pujya Swamiji called upon religious leaders worldwide to use their moral authority to foster peace, interfaith harmony, and reconciliation, affirming that “when religious leaders preach peace, followers practice peace — and conflicts lose their power.”

The address was delivered in the honourable presence of His Excellency the Prime Minister of Malaysia, the Honorable Dato’ Sri Anwar bin Ibrahim; His Excellency Senator Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohammad Naim bin Haji Mokhtar (Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office – Religious Affairs); His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Mohammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League and President of the Muslim Scholars Association; along with distinguished religious leaders and ambassadors from various countries.

Pujya Swamiji also honoured His Excellency, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, the Honorable Dato’ Sri Anwar bin Ibrahim, acknowledging his visionary initiative and noble efforts in collaboration with the Muslim World League.

The summit served as a historic platform for global leaders of faith to share insights on promoting peace, interfaith harmony, and cooperative solutions for conflict resolution.
