Dear Sir,

I read your article in Hindustan Times on Ram and I am happy that you are spiritual enough to see Ram as a divine figure. Only today a fatwa was issued against Salman Khan for participating in Ganapati pooja.

Actually, all of us, nay, all living beings (and that excludes nothing, not even so called dead stones) are divine. We would miss this truth if we are not sufficiently heightened or intense in our consciousness. Religions are teachings that reveal the techniques of heightening our consciousness, or, to put it differently, awakening to the divinity that we are. Islam, unfortunately, has been interpreted in such a way that there is a separation between God and man and man's only destiny is to be a slave of God. The Sufis may be an exception to the common interpretation of Islam.

I believe that Islam, as it is understood by common Muslims, and Christianity, as understood by missionaries, stands in the way of a universal divine resurgence. If you think what I say makes sense, let's communicate.
