Acharya Lokesh spoke to volunteers at the Rajendra Nagar headquarters of Ahimsa Vishwa Bharti before leaving to attend the climate change summit in Abu Dhabi. “At this point, it is undeniably acknowledged by the United Nations, Parliament of World Religions, UNICEF, UNESCO, and all other international organizations that religion has the power to bring about any significant change in India,” he said. According to Acharya Lokesh, India is a faith-based nation where millions of people visit religious sites every day, such as mosques, churches, gurudwaras, and temples. If religious leaders provide guidance and the correct route, the followers will voluntarily do what the government cannot do even on spending billions of rupees. He appealed for all religious leaders to consider and implement this ideology.
