Peace: In Our Time.

Peace is a fundamental human need, and its significance in our time cannot be overstated. Conflicts and violence are rampant today, and the need for Peace is more crucial than ever. Peace is crucial for the progress and development of societies, and it is essential for the well-being of individuals. Classical Indian philosophy offers a wealth of knowledge and wisdom on achieving Peace. The concept of Ahimsa, or non-violence, which is central to the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, is one such example. Ahimsa is a way of life that involves abstaining from causing harm to any living being and believing that all living beings are connected. By practising Ahimsa, individuals can cultivate empathy and compassion, essential for achieving Peace. Contemporary Indian philosophy also offers valuable insights into achieving Peace. One such example is the concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which means "the world is one family":

अयं निजः परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्।

                          उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्॥ (Upanishad, 2021)
