Speaking at a spring seminar at Meadows, Faridabad on "Towards Co-existence and a Peaceful World Order", Vinay Rai emphasized on the role of religious leaders in ensuring that religion lives up to its raison d'etre of "opening peoples' hearts and filling them with love and concern for each other", instead of being used as a convenient tool by political opportunists to create false divisions in minds and hearts. He particularly alluded to the positive human values of brotherhood, community service, compassion, concern, sharing, good action, non-violence, especially as espoused by the Dalai Lama, Sai Baba, and the Pope at Vatican, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Imam Mohammed, and Mother Teresa - Vinay Rai
