Tribute

“From the first moment we met, Dr. Singh gave me the impression that he was an extraordinary personality. Dr. Singh is a man with great human qualities, which stem from a great heart. He is a man of deep understanding, compassion, humility, love and spirituality.

….. Compassion and love in Dr. Singh go beyond the barriers of race and religious background. Because of his respect for every human person, Dr. Singh doesn’t make any distinction between the rich and the poor, a VIP and the man in the street. He treats every single person with the same respect and love….. He not only teaches with his word but also teaches especially with his life.”

Father Maximilian Mizzi
Assisi, Italy

“… an outstanding person … Dr. Singh’s contribution to the understanding of religion and the relation between science and religion … will have a long-standing influence.”

Charles H. Townes
Nobel Laureate in Physics


“I believe that Dr. T. D. Singh’s friendship with various religionists could be a model for promoting peace and love among diverse people of the world.”

Ven. Jinwol Lee
Prof., Dongguk University, Korea
Global Trustee URI Asia &  
EXCO member of WFB

“… it is easy to celebrate Dr. T. D. Singh’s work for interfaith understanding and cooperation. His gracious, joyous and humble spirit, his deep reverence for God, his keen intellect, his compassionate commitment, his gracious hospitality and his ready laugh are an inspiration, and are incomparable gifts to any interfaith effort for peace, justice and healing.

In particular, Dr. T. D. Singh has been an extraordinary gift to the United Religions Initiative. Over the years, he has contributed greatly to the URI’s chartering process… But he went far beyond helping to write words on a page. Through his efforts, those words have become a living reality. He has helped spread the URI’s vision throughout Asia and played a key role in enabling the URI’s regional conference for Asia and the Pacific in Bali, Indonesia in December 2001.

It has been a privilege to work side by side with Dr. T. D. Singh, to travel with him, to share visions of the possible and to join hands to make those visions real. But perhaps the greatest privilege has been to sit with him in stillness in the presence of the sacred evoked so purely in his beautiful chanting.”

Rev. Canon Charles P. Gibbs
Executive Director

Life and Spiritual Evolution

Today, the concept of evolution has influenced the whole world. It is taught in almost all schools and colleges of the world and is influencing thousands of students around the globe every moment. Life, according to this paradigm, is the product of the lifeless cosmic dust particles (atoms and molecules), which have no meaning and purpose. However, all religious traditions of the world proclaim a divine meaning and higher purpose of life. Vedanta, the topmost philosophical treatise of spiritual and cultural heritage of India, provides a vivid description about life, its origin and meaning. Taking insights from the Vedantic literatures, the author, Dr. T. D. Singh, presents in this book a new holistic paradigm about life, incorporating the spiritual dimension of life and evolution of consciousness.

Thus every thinking person intensely yearns for harmony and peace in every corner of the globe.

Could the various religious traditions of the world guide humanity towards harmony and peace instead of being the cause of conflicts as seen in the past?
