Global Peace Meditation Day 18 May
Ananda Europa has been chosen by the Club of Budapest as the Italian location for the Global Peace Meditation Day this Sunday, 18 May. As you know, Swamiji was invited into this prestigious group of world leaders, which is a considerable honour for him. It is also an honour for Ananda to host the meditation in our Assisi community’s Temple of Light. During the service, Swamiji will lead a short meditation for world peace.
The Club's president (Erwin Laszlo, shown above with Swamiji at the recent Italian launch of Revelations of Christ) and members would be grateful for Ananda centres across the world to join in this world peace meditation effort. It will take place from 10:00 to 11:00 am Italian time Sunday (1:30 to 2:30 pm here in India), but any other time is also fine. We will join in during our regular morning sadhana 6:45 to 8:30 am in Gurgaon, and at other regular satsangs in the NCR later in the day. You are invited to register your presence at the Club's Web site.
