1 (Mahamandaleshwar) Swami Veda Bharati M.A.(London), D.Litt. (Holland),F.R.A.S. Chancellor HIHT University Dehradun, India Spiritual Guide to Association of Himalayan yoga meditation societies international Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Dietrich Chairman Unesco Chair of Peace Studies University of Innsbruck Austria Dear Prof. Dr. Dietrich It is with a happy heart that I offer you congratulations on the establishment of the UNESCO Chair of Peace Studies and I anticipate a long period of many brilliant successes to this seat of learning under your worthy guidance. I am most grateful for your invitation to participate in the inauguration but it is with great regret that I am unable to be present because of prior commitments. Herewith, however, please accept a felicitation I have composed for the occasion. You may use, share or distribute this felicitation in whatever form it would be most acceptable. Again, I wish you profound successes in the dream you have realised and no doubt it will be a major messenger of peace for

2 all deep thinking people everywhere who come to partake of its bountiful wisdom. Yours most sincerely, Swami Veda Bharati

3 Felicitating the inauguration Of The unesco chair of peace studies University of Innsbruck austria

4 Peace is the cool waters that flow between riparian states. Peace is the continents touching under the mantle of the depth of the oceans Peace is the mountain passes through which the people course freely from one side to the other Peace is the breezes traveling freely from country to country Peace is the monsoons nourishing the fields of friends and the enemies alike Peace is the moonlight scattered on both sides of the imagined borders Peace is the stars looking down on all humanity without discrimination in each twinkle Peace is to call upon God by the name by which the enemy used to call him Peace is the breath shared when two nations kiss and hug Peace is to place all weapons in a Museum to Barbarity

5 Peace is every child on earth going to sleep with a full stomach Peace is every child learning to recite the songs of many nations Peace is when you name any religion and every child says that, too, is my religion Peace is the flags of all nations flying side by side, saluted by all Peace is God calling your enemy My Beloved Child Peace is God calling you My Beloved Child Peace is the enemy s God calling you My Beloved Child Peace is you and the enemy calling each other over the mountains and across the rivers, Brother, where are you? Peace is to contemplate, Can I manage without this additional acquisition of goods? Peace is the Art by which all arts may flourish Peace is to call the scriptures of all religions, my sacred book

6 Peace is to abandon that which was acquired by power Peace is to let the weaker one win Peace is for the stronger one to bow in humility Peace is women suckling children unthreatened Peace is women continuing to civilize the wild males Peace is the philosopher advising all kings and the kings listening to the advice Peace is trees, plants, grasses forever remaining green and lush Peace is no more war inside any Continent of the Skull Peace is the heart not missing a beat in love Peace is the heart pausing in stillness between the beats Peace is the silent moment between breaths. Peace is the natural human urge to which we all give way after the warps and aberrations of conflicts

7 Peace is a conflict-free mind immersed in the contemplations of the beauty of diversities Peace is a mind immersed in the contemplation of the Unity clothed in the beautiful diversities Peace is to know the one soul in all bodies and forms. May such wisdom of peace be imparted To all peoples and their leaders By The unesco chair of peace studies University of Innsbruck austria Swami Veda Bharati 2008
