Sarvadharmasamanvaya (Salutations to All Gods)

सर्वदेवसमन्वय
(Salutations to All Gods)

The shloka reads -
Rain water fallen anywhere reaches the sea ultimately. Namaskaarams to any God reach Keshava ultimately.

The Lord says in the Geetaa - whosoever deity you worship, you worship Me only in that form and Name.

Keshava , KRuShNa and other Names are just symbolic. KRuShNa does not refer to KRuShNa, the son of Devaki. All the Names ultimately merge in one God that is without name.

Whatever religion you follow, whatever language you pray in , whatever be the mode of your worship to reach God represented by your IShTadevataa, you will reach God.

This is Sarvadharmasamanvaya held out by RaamakRuShNa.
No other religion gives you this freedom - freedom for hatred and fanaticism, freedom from fear. Only Love and Peace.

Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi
