An Interior Pilgrimage: Remedy for the Year 2000 and Beyond
Swami Murugananda Saraswathi
Educational institutions are active to introduce the science to see the outer, which does not contribute towards establishing the inner contact. Sight is a faculty but seeing is an art. If this vision is introduced in the systems of our education, then the world will come to know that you and I are not two, but one person. This is the secret for peace on this planet. Everything is present every time, everywhere in every condition because of the oneness in our deepest being. To awaken ourselves towards this unique understanding, we must humbly embark on an inner pilgrimage which could direct the human resources to participate in the glory of perfection. Swami Saraswathi began his spiritual quest when he left his family home in 1969. After training with Swami Krishnanandaji Maharaj in the Himalayas for 16 years, Swami Saraswathi began giving discourses on the great treasure of vedic knowledge. In 1989, Swamiji started The Arunachala Unique Mountain Trust, which assists young students in their pursuit of higher education and spiritual guidance.

Five Hundred Years of Nonviolence & Peacemaking - The Other History of the Sikhs
T
S. S. Shiva Singh Khalsa
The history of the Sikhs of the Punjab typically speaks of their valor, loyalty, and fierceness in battle. Many western historians were initially exposed to the Sikhs by their contact with Punjabis in the World Wars, who heroically served the British Empire, or by limited readings in the English language. In this presentation, Mr. Shiva Singh seeks to expose the audience to a variety of events from Sikh History, as well as, examples of the Sikh written word from diverse sources and the sacred scriptures, respectfully known as Siri Guru Granth Sahib. This will reveal the Sikh essential character, philosophy, and commitment and sacrifice to peacemaking from the 15th century, through the struggles for independence and human rights.
SS Shiva Singh Khalsa is the Director of 3HO Foundation of Illinois, and an ordained Minister of the Sikh Dharma. He is part of the CPWR International Planning Committee and on the steering committee for the Creating Community Vision Project in Chicago. He is also a certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher.
