religion as the sole repository of truth was the root
cause of violence all over the world.

Commisisoner Dr. M. S. Gill at the inauguration of Guru Nanak
Week at Osho World
Inaugurating the Guru Nanak Week at Oshoworld here yesterday,
Mr Gill said all religions point to the same universal truth
preached by Guru Nanak: Ek Omkar Satnam. He found it
interesting that Muslims, Christians and Jews have been
fighting each other inspite of having a common origin of their
religions.
In a nostalgic mood, he recalled that he puzzled his
Jewish hosts when he bowed at the Church and the Mosque
duringh is visit to Israel. He noted that Osho had expanded on
the basic truism of Guru Nanak's message with his unique
insights on almost all religions and enlightened masters to
create a vast treasure of spiritual growth.
An MP3 CD on Osho's discourses on 'Baba Farid - Akath Kahani
Prem Ki' (one of the saints whose divine compositions are
incorporated into Guru Granth Sahib) was also released on the
occasion.Osho had in one of his discourses described Guru
Nanak as 'one of those beautiful people for whom I have
immense love.'
Shabad-Kirtan and meditation at the opening of
Guru Nanak Week
A poet from London, Chaman Lal 'Chaman',
recited his poem on the greatness of Guru Nanak, and
Bhai Gurvinder Singh
and party, hazuri singers of Gurudwara Bangla Saheb, provided
a meditative musical tribute. Sunil Arora and party rendered
shabads of the Guru. Daily kirtan, shabad, meditation and
Osho's discourses on Japuji Sahib will be held every evening
