All over the world, empirical research projects underlinethe establishment of highly complex local scenes of these types of initiatives.¹ Especiallyatthe national level, it is possible to identify asignificant increase in dialogue organizations – either basedupon state initiativesorthe input of religious authorities.² And in the course of these developments, interreligious dialogue has become asignifi- cant topic on the international political agenda, too. It is no longer restricted to some expertsofreligiouslyaffiliatednon-governmental organizations (NGOs). IRD has also been put on the agenda of heads of state, as well as intergovern- mental organizations.³ Jü rgen Micksch and Ingrid Hoensch Hoensch, Miteinander vor Ort: kommunale Islamforen (Berlin: EB-Verlag,2011); Council of Europe, ed., Gods in the City:Intercultural and Interreligious Dialogue at Local Level (Strasbourg:Council of Europe, 2007).

To name but two classic examples: In 1996,Jean-Claude Bassetpublished the most inclusive history of IRD that givesadetaileddescrip- tion of more than 100 years of diverse dialogue initiativesand organizations with aparticularfocus on their conceptual developments.⁴ On the other sideofthe spectrum,Catherine Cornille has recentlypublishedthe first conclusive hand- book in the field that combines focal pointsofconceptual discussions with case studies on the history of dialogue activities between different religious tra- ditions.⁵ Second, two decades of research have produced afascinating set of analyses on the abstract concept of IRD.They document the different usagesofthe notion of IRD in adetailed manner and explain their philosophical and theological foundations all over the world. In the opening remarks to her Companion to inter-religious dialogue, Catherine Cornille sums up the hypothesis thatstands behindmost of those analyses: Sincethe middle of the twentieth century,the notion of dialoguehas become increasingly common in describingorprescribing the proper relationship between religions.Rather than competing with one another over territories,converts,orclaims,religions have generally cometoadopt amoreconciliatory and constructive attitude towards one another,collabo- rating in social projects and exchangingviews on common religious

It is probably significant however that his trade was in Jewellery. 1 After Dada Lekhraj's personal experience with God Shiva, he was used as a medium to reveal the mysteries of the self and the work order. These experiences brought about a tremendous change in him to whom God Shiva gave the name "Prajapita Brahma". In 1937 he laid the foundations ofthe Movement."2 After Dada Lekhraj's personal experience with God, he started a regular satsang (fellowship) in Hyderabad after laying the foundation of the Movement. The satsang came to be known as "Om Mandi".3 Around 300 devotees started gathering in the Satsang. After the Independence oflndia, many devotees left Hyderabad and shifted to India. On the request of many devotees in India the headquarters of the Movement was shifted to India in 19 51. 4 The Prajapita Brahmakumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya's Report upto 1983 at a glance is as follows.
