All world problems, from military conflicts to domestic conflicts, are caused by violence. Through meditation we can remove the cause of violence, thus bringing peace to the world.

Any action that is undertaken without inner peace only leads to regret. And peace does not mean inaction. One has to use all methodologies to curb terrorism. We have to do it through education and persuasion. Force should be used only when nothing else works. Meditation and Sudarshan Kriya have transformed the aggression and violence inside people into compassion, love, and care. In these times of war and disease in the world, it’s so important that we all meditate a little bit every day. When we meditate, we nullify those vibrations, thereby creating a more harmonious environment around us.

WAR the Worst Act of Reason ~ Gurudev Sri Sri RaviShankar

Every war has a reason. Sometimes wars become unavoidable, like an operation. If there is a wound or a cancerous cell in one’s body, the doctor operates. After the operation, it is essential to nurse that part which has been operated. Similarly, after a war; a lot needs to be done to bring peace, love and confidence into hearts and minds of the people.

Can I make the World peaceful?

Don't think, "what can I do?" or that you are insignificant….,when the world is in a problem. You too have a role to play. A tiny homeopathic pill, which has a 1/100th, or 1/1000th potency, makes an impact on a body, which is sixty to seventy kilos! Scientists have discovered that a tiny change in one place, like the flapping of a butterfly's wings in South America, may produce a large effect in a far away location, like a tornado in Africa, which is called 'Butterfly effect'.

In the same way, every individual — everyone who is breathing, talking, walking, thinking - influences this planet. So we can all radiate peace, good thoughts, good vibrations, good wishes and that definitely makes an impact on the planet. Being peaceful in a meditative, prayerful state definitely helps.
