I want the peace of God.
“To say these words is nothing. But to mean these words is everything. If you could but mean them for just an instant, there would be no further sorrow possible for you in any form; in any place or time. Heaven would be completely given back to full awareness, memory of God entirely restored, the resurrection of all creation fully recognized.”

Years ago I had the great honor to teach yoga to children. I never taught yoga to children before so when we had our first class I had the children stand with their eyes closed and said to them, “now feel your inner peace.” I opened my eyes and noticed one girl squinting as if she was really concentrating and a moment later she said, “I can’t feel my inner peace.” Soon others chimed in, “I can’t f...

Blessing for Peace
As the fever of day calms towards twilight
May all that is strained in us come to ease.
We pray for all who suffered violence today,
May an unexpected serenity surprise them.
For those who risk their lives each day for peace,
May their hearts glimpse providence at the heart of history.
That those who make riches from violence and war
Might hear in their dreams the cries of the l...
What is peace ? It can be mental peace, or peace or your surrounding or peace in anyones heart etc. But in My SANATAN Dharm it has wide aspect about peace, As you all know we Sanatani believe in Vasudev Kutumbkam and believe that each and every living being on this earth has equal right to live on our mother earth whther it is human, animal, insects, birds or trees. Because we all are Gods creatio...
An inspiring message on peace comes from the BhagavadGita 2:70. It makes peace a matter of individual responsibility, rather than an external circumstance.
"Peace is his who, like the ocean, calmly absorbs into himself all the rivers of desire. One (on the contrary) whose desires trickle outward (as if from a pond) is soon drained of energy." Bhagavadgita 2:70
I would like for there to be an alternative focus from war or conflict, especially in our media. I’d like us to be able to focus on peace.
“My aspiration to Thee, O Lord, has taken the form of a beautiful rose, harmonious, full in bloom, rich in fragrance. I stretch it out to Thee with both arms in a gesture of offering and I ask of Thee:
If my understanding is limited, widen it; if my knowledge is obscure, enlighten it; if my heart is empty of ardour, set it aflame; if my love is insignificant, make it intense; if my feelings are ig...
O Beloved Lord
I know that peace on earth
Begins in my own heart
Be patient with me
As I surrender every thought
Word and deed at Your holy feet
Let Your peace speak through me
Guide me and direct all of my activities and
May all of my brothers and sisters
Find the source of peace within them
and may all good things come to them
As we all share the abundant peace
Of our one being in You.
AUM
