101221M VIA NEED OF MEET SPIRITUAL ADVISOR
IN UN BODY

RAMESHWAR ASHAANT
No doubt the UN has been doing tremendous work through its most able personalities, to foster peace all over the world. As more and more efforts are being made in this direction, more and more violence is spreading in most corners of the globe.
In fact, my opinion is that we are lacking guidance - not the guidance of ability and sincerity - but that of moral values, which can only be delivered by real monks and spiritual souls.
My suggestion is to create a spiritual cell in the UN for guidance, for any occasion where religious, territorial, political, sectarian, or any other kind of violence lifts its ugly head in any part of the world.
In such difficult moments, it becomes not only hard - but virtually impossible - for even the noblest official of the

UN to avoid fighting violence with violence. Yet if there is a spiritual cell, then real guidance can be available, which would be based on humanity.
Pujya Acharya Sushil Kumarji Maharaj has been teaching and preaching non-violence all over the world for several decades now. He is a living symbol of non-violence, in body, mind and soul. He is well known and accepted, by most of the religious heads, politicians and educators as the biggest proponent of non-violence in the world.
If a spiritual cell of the UN is headed by such a saint, I would feel certain that violence could be reduced and the world would become closer to peace, as non-violence is the only seed which can produce the fruits of peace.
On this occasion of his birthday, I wish him many happy and healthy returns.
