O&O Academy recently had its second annual Ekam World Peace Festival in Andhra Pradesh, India. Hosted by transformational leaders Preethaji and Krishnaji, the Ekam World Peace Festival is the largest meditation gathering in the world, bringing together over one million people to initiate global consciousness towards peace.
“Peace is the absence of division,” said Preethaji and Krishnaji. “Peace is the awareness of the oneness of our humanity. The Ekam World Peace Festival is not social activism, it’s a movement of consciousness towards global peace. Last year was our first Peace Festival, and we had nearly one million people participate. Our vision is to exceed these numbers and bring people together to uplift and create a powerful, needed shift in the world.”
Each day of the 11-day festival was centered around different intentions for peace, addressing some of modern society’s specific challenges: violence against women, children, animals, nature, religious intolerance, racial discrimination, economic exploitation and more. The movement as a whole sought to raise conscious energy for kindness, harmony, order and peace within each person and in the world at large.
Some people participated in the festival online with daily, 60-minute meditations that were streamed globally at BreathingRoom.com. The website also hosted abridged, 20-minute versions of each meditation for an on-demand, anytime experience.
