There is a God in every religion but is there a universal God too? Or how the different Gods discriminate between believers of different religions? If these are the questions that you are striving to find answers to or you are looking for a God who can be considered as a God for the entire human kind then the book 'In Search of the Universal God' is going to be an enjoyable read for you. The concept of God the creator as well as God as the savior of all human beings from all their sins and misdeeds is common to every religion in the world. There is also the concept of God the destroyer who arrives whenever the earth is over-burdened with human sin to destroy all evil and create a new world of global peace. If the purpose of all the Gods in the world is to help and protect his believers and reaching that God is considered as the ultimate salvation through love and non-violence – then why their followers are resorting to violence and bloodshed to prove that their religion is the best and their God the most powerful?
Can't we really have a universal God leading his followers to the path of universal brotherhood? A God who is not partial to any particular religious community? This extremely well written book will help readers to discover and to some extent understand this universal God in their own religions by making them realize that there is actually little difference between various Gods and everyone of them is actually a universal God. The problem is not is the concept of Gods but in the mind of his followers who more often than not fails to understand the real significances of the religious beliefs and interpret them in their own often ill-conceived ways for fulfilling their personal goals and wishes.
It is only an institutionalized religion that keeps people of different beliefs separate and distanced from one another because that is the only way it can survive. But there is also an undercurrent of pagan religion that truly believes in God as the universal creator and does not differentiate between people. These pagan religions associate divinity with the very existence of humanity and for them every single object of this universe is a representation and manifestation of that almighty God. This is the belief that can ultimately lead to the universal brotherhood that we are now striving to attain.
