Youth Peace Fest 2014-Aims to build a Culture of Peace among Youth
7 billion reasons for Peace by Prem Rawat, an International Peace Ambassdor
New Delhi, 2nd February: With ever increasing life pressures on youth from work, study, and technology, “Youth Peace Fest” was launched in an initiative focusing
on the peace and wellbeing of young people on Sunday. More than two
lakh youth gathered at the mega event and were addressed by an
internationally known peace ambassador Prem Rawat.
As
nowadays, young people face some of the most difficult conditions
impacting wellbeing, including the constant distraction of always on
technology, peer pressure and long hours of work, to really enjoy life.
With this idea, “Youth Peace Fest”
was born out of a sense of wanting to build a culture of peace. It is a
step towards redressing the balance and bringing attention to the
individual’s need for peace in one’s busy lives.
The
theme of the fest was “7 Billion Reasons for Peace” the number
representing the population of humanity, with each person being an
important reason for peace.
Speaking on the launch of Youth Peace Fest in India, Prem Rawat stated that, “Peace
is not a luxury. It’s not an option. It is fundamental to the existence
and well-being of a human being to have peace in their life. Some say
peace is the absence of war; some say peace is when you are free from
all the problems of the world. Peace is more than political peace. Peace
is a fundamental experience of existence within every single human
being.”
Elucidating the importance of individual art of peace Mr. Rawat
further said that, “There are 7 billion reasons for peace that could
define the conduit of world citizens and can make the world a better
place to live together. Embracing a new paradigm of a peaceful world, I
believe Indian youth could be best benefitted from this fest and could
learn to contribute back to their societies.”
Rawat
in his work always focus to reach out to people and introduce them to a
possibility of peace that lies within each one of them. In his vision
that peace is a fundamental need of each individual, the Prem Rawat
foundation helps to make his message of peace available throughout the
world and funds two proprietary programs, The Peace Education Program
and the Food for People program.
The fest aimed at building a culture of peace by developing individual capabilities and endurance. With the central endeavour to improve the quality of human life, Prem Rawat is presenting the possibility of peace
for those who wish to pursue it. As an extension of a global campaign,
this fest will soon be organised in other parts of India.
