In Pursuit of Peace

"I believe peace must have three dimensions: peace within our own selves; peace among the nations; and peace with nature!" - Dada JP Vaswani

By Dada JP Vaswani
A scientist, a visionary, a well-read scholar, an educationist, widely referred to as a living saint, Dada JP Vaswani, the current spiritual head of Sadhu Vaswani Mission was born on August 2, 1918, in a pious Sindhi family in Sindh, Pakistan. Dada’s inclination to pursue a life of spirituality led him to forgo a promising academic career and follow the footsteps of his master, also his uncle, Sadhu TL Vaswani.

Spearheading the Mission, a non-sectarian, social welfare institution, Dada has relentlessly spread his master’s message of love, compassion, simplicity and service through his own example. Furthering one of the tenets of ‘reverence for all,’ Dada enlisted globally, November 25, Sadhu Vaswani’s birthday, as the International Meatless Day.

Dada’s birthday, August 2, is celebrated as Global Forgiveness Day with 2 pm designated as the Moment of Calm—a time to forgive and seek forgiveness.

Having authored over 150 books, Dada expounds the philosophy of universal brotherhood and love. Approaching the age of 100, Dada’s spirit remains ever-youthful, fresh and radiant, as he carries the flame of peace, love and compassion around the globe.

What is peace? I may tell you what peace is in many words, but all descriptions will fail and you will not understand those words until you have felt peace in the heart within! Like love, peace must be felt!

Throughout the centuries, nations have sought many ways to attain peace. Many methods have they tried—force, aggression—yes! They have claimed that they have fought wars to bring about peace! They have also tried negotiations, conferences, treaties and ‘peace’ talks. They have had a League of Nations in the past, they have United Nations now. But where, O where is peace…true peace?
