The community of Sarajevo witnessed the unity of faiths on October 26, 2024, when an Interfaith Prayer Meeting was held at the Church of Saint Antoni Paduan. The event was organized by the Franciscan Community of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The SSSIO, represented by Mr. Sefik Avdagic, devotional coordinator for SSSIO of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was an active participant in the meeting, which attracted many, including religious leaders, political and diplomatic figures, and people of diverse faiths. Mr. Avdagic delivered a speech on Swami’s universal message of love, highlighting the principle of selfless love and emphasizing His words, “Love All, Serve All.” 
Representatives of many faiths, including Jewish, Catholic, Muslim, Protestant, Adventist, Hare Krishna, Baha’i, and Sathya Sai devotees, joined the event, including the Chairman of SSSIO Zone 6, Mr. Adriano Bratovic. The meeting emphasized unity and peace, inspired by Pope John Paul II’s 1986 initiative in Assisi, Italy. Sarajevo, known for its multicultural history, was selected to host the interfaith meeting due to its rich and inspiring history. The meeting concluded with the chanting of “Asato Ma,” a prayer for universal peace that sanctified the church.
