Sarva Dharma Sammelan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sarva Dharma Sammelan (Meeting of all faiths) is an assembly organized in several places in India. It is generally organized by the Jain community[1], since it confirms with the anekanta principle of Jainism.
The best known meeting is held at Dharmasthala every year[2], where it has been held since 1932. It is organized by Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala led by Veerendra Heggade.
Other Sammelans have been held at Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai, Jabalpur, Bangalore etc.
The controversial philosopher Osho started his public speaking at the annual Sarva Dharma Sammelan held at Jabalpur since 1939, organized by the Taran Panthi Jain community, in which he was born. He participated from 1951 to 1968 [3].
