forefront of the interfaith movement. Swami Adiswarananda regularly participates in the
programs and activities of major interfaith organizations. He is a member of the advisory
board of The Temple of Understanding, and has spoken at a number of its Spiritual Summit
Conferences. He is a founding member of the Global Forum of Spiritual and Parliamentary
Leaders for Human Survival and also serves on the International board of advisors of the
International Peace University of Potsdam and Berlin, Germany. In the summer of 1993,
Swami Adiswarananda took part in the Parliament of the World's Religions, which was held
in Chicago to commemorate the Centenary of the first Parliament of 1893 and was selected
to be one of the 200 representatives in the Parliament's Assembly of Religious and
Spiritual Leaders. The Assembly held sessions during the days of the Parliament and
continues as a consultative body to discuss issues and challenges facing the global
community and to seek common grounds for mutual understanding and cooperation among all
faiths.
