REFLECTIONS

Are We marching towards the Kindom of God? Yes, says GPI Index

Dear friends,

In my book “Super Souls Revisited”, there is a conversation with Moses in heaven. One important point that he is highlighting is that God is helpless in transforming the world because He has given half of His self to us, beings on the planet. So God needs our support and wholehearted cooperation to complete the assigned task. If we fail, God also fails.

But the latest GPI (Global Peace Index) shows that we are marching towards the Kingdom of God/ Ramarajya/Perpetual Garden of Peace. According to the 2012 GPI, the world has improved in peacefulness for the first time since 2009. All regions excluding the Middle East and North Africa saw an improvement. (Our MENA region needs more support and prayers).  Top ten most peaceful countries are Iceland, Denmark, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Austria, Ireland (what a welcome change! Ireland is the best example before us to show that there are alternatives to conflicts), Slovenia, Finland and Switzerland. The least peaceful countries are Somalia, Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq, Dem. Republic of Congo, Russia, North Korea, Central African Republic, Israel and Pakistan. (For more details visit www.iprikarickam.blogspot.com)

One aspect is very clear. Peace is possible and URI has a thundering role to play here in this field. We don’t want more Kurukhsetras (terrible battlefields) to be repeated. When all the ‘catalysts for peace’ (Thanks to Libby Hoffman) around the world unite , definitely we will advance fast towards the glorious ‘garden’ of perennial peace.
