world Universal brotherhood, friendship and compassion, religious
tolerance, humanism and peace.

meaning and relevance of Jagannath in our rapidly dividing world
and ourfragmented lives. Devotees and practitioners of this religous
form fromIndia, SriLanka and Britain are taking part in this rare
conference.
