Peace Meditation
|
|
|
|
After 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, a strong sense of anguish and fear had gripped
one and all. The only way to give some respite to this crisis was to come together
as youth, to show that we are not weak, that we stand as one voice against terror
and corruption
|
|
|
|
So the YES!+ graduates from Pune had
a peace meditation which was attended by thousands. The evening started with chanting
followed by the talk. The participants cheered on throughout the talk, and were
extremely amazed by their first experience of meditation.
|
|
|
|
This was followed by an inspiring talk by YES!+ teachers
on the importance of spirituality in day to day lives of the youth, of moving out
of our comfort zones, of expending our vision. A thundering applause followed after
which the YES!+ video was screened. 4000 youths then took a pledge against violence,
terror and corruption and an oath to incorporate the ways of Indian spirituality.
|
|
|
|
The evening ended with an overwhelming response by the participants. As they sang
Vande Mataram, tears trickled down and a sense of belongingness swept in.
|
|
|
|
‘Indeed the youth believe in action over words. We have to be the change we
want to see in society. We have to be peaceful to have a peaceful nation, a safe
world and a harmonious universe.’
