THE REVERED FOUNDER & VISIONARY
Param Pujya Shri Shri 1008 Mahamandaleshwar Swami Sunileshwar Giri Ji Maharaj
Founder & Spiritual Patron — International Council of Religions (अंतरराष्ट्रीय सर्वधर्म परिषद)
Param Pujya Shri Shri 1008 Sunileshwar Giri Ji Maharaj is a globally revered spiritual luminary, humanitarian visionary, and dedicated ambassador of interfaith peace. As the visionary Founder and guiding light of the International Council of Religions (ICR), Pujya Maharajshri has devoted his life to propagating universal brotherhood, spiritual enlightenment, social welfare, and harmonious coexistence among all religions, cultures, and traditions across the world.
Rooted in the timeless Indian philosophy of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (The World is One Family) and "Sarva Dharma Sambhava" (Equal Reverence for All Faiths), Swami Sunileshwar Giri Ji Maharaj envisioned ICR as an inclusive, non-sectarian global platform where leaders and scholars from Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and indigenous spiritualities converge to resolve humanitarian challenges and foster enduring world peace.
KEY PILLARS OF HIS SPIRITUAL & HUMANITARIAN MISSION
Champion of Global Interfaith Dialogue: Pujya Maharajshri has relentlessly championed high-level and grassroots dialogues, bridging ideological divides and fostering profound mutual understanding among global faith communities.
Selfless Humanitarian & Social Welfare: Under his divine guidance, extensive humanitarian initiatives flourish—including free food distribution (Annadaan), rural healthcare camps, educational sponsorships for underprivileged children, and disaster relief operations.
Preservation of Cultural & Spiritual Values: Inspiring millions worldwide to lead lives anchored in truth, non-violence (Ahimsa), compassion, moral discipline, and profound respect for every living being.
Youth & Ethical Leadership Empowerment: Guiding modern youth toward character building, mental wellness through meditation, de-addiction campaigns, and selfless community leadership.
Environmental Stewardship (Prakriti Raksha): Advocating for nature conservation, tree plantation drives, water conservation, and clean river campaigns as a sacred spiritual duty.
FOUNDER'S MESSAGE TO HUMANITY
"Religion is not a tool to divide hearts; it is the divine bridge that connects soul to soul, human to human, and humanity to the Supreme. True spirituality manifests in boundless compassion, selfless service, and seeing the divine light in all creations. Through the International Council of Religions, we invite every spiritual seeker and leader to unite for universal peace, justice, and the upliftment of all humankind."
