GYÖR, July 4 2019
On the occasion of 40 years of Yoga in Daily Life in Hungary, 70 years of diplomatic relations between India and Hungary and the 150 year birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhiji, a Sri Swami Madhavananda World Peace Council Conference was organized at the University of Györ Széchenyi István Egyetem.
On the invitation of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) Indian Traditional Sciences, Yoga in Daily Life Scientific System author & founder Bharat Gaurav Paramhans Sri Swami Maheshwaranandaji – Vishwaguruji – from Mahanirvani Akhara, attended as chief guest of honor at the United Nations 5th International Day of Yoga celebration in the House of Commons, London, UK.
For almost 30 years, Vishwaguruji has been planting symbolic World Peace Trees around the world, giving people hope and inspiration for World Peace. The Banyan tree that he has planted on India's 70th Republic Day in OM Ashram, has a special significance.
As international NGOs, the Sri Swami Madhavananda World Peace Council (SSMWPC) and Yoga in Daily Life, under the patronage of Vishwaguruji, have celebrated the International Day of Non-Violence and honored the Satyagraha legacy of Mahatma Gandhi every year since 2007, by organizing different programs across five continents.
In 2018, members of YIDL and the SSMWPC celebrated the International Day of Peace across five continents. In New York, representatives of YIDL and the SSMWPC joined with the International Day of Yoga Committee at the UN to commemorate the International Day of Peace in the Tillman Chapel. On a global scale, YIDL centers organized a wide range of programs (peace prayers, free indoor/outdoor yoga classes, meditations for world peace, public lectures and cultural programs) to celebrate the International Day of Peace, honoring its significance.
