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
Youth Peace FestNew 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. 
It aimed bringing an inspiring message of hope as well as a call to action. Glimpse of the event on you tube:  http://youtu.be/3Vm4L1_4N9I

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
