The first ever grassroot World March for Peace and Non-violence lasting over 3 months and spanning over 100 countries and 300 cities is beginning its long journey today. It is starting in a few hours from Wellington, New Zealand with the blessings of indigenous Moriori people.

This is a historic moment for the planet and its silent majority of peace loving citizens striving towards making a united stand for peace and non-violence in all forms. We are putting our collective intention to change our course and direction from greed, hatred, violence and ignorance to peaceful ways of addressing the myriad social, economic, environmental, interpersonal, and personal challenges we find ourselves in now.

This moment unlike any other in the history of human race offers tremendous opportunities for letting go of old ways of command and control, war and violence, lies and deceit, and embrace new ways of sharing, collaborating, deep listening and cocreative intelligence to find peaceful solutions to meet all our basic needs and higher aspirations.

Please follow this march of peace ambassadors across the planet in the coming days and months. Send your blessings and lend your unique voice to it. Share it with your school, organization, friends and community. May peace prevail in our hearts, home, communities, work, and the planet. May we awaken to our true nature, our calling and purpose at this time. May we find the courage to follow our hearts calling with dignity and fearlessness and accept life with boundless metta.

Here is my latest post in Peacemaker Institute  & my peace profile at Shambhalatimes.

Now I got to go to make some posters to carry in interfaith peace vigil this evening 5:30PM at Triangle Park, Lexington. Join me if you can.
