VISAKHAPATNAM : There can be no peace without harmony and vice versa. We look for faults in others but don't realise our own shortcomings. This is responsible for the turmoil in society, said Rajayogini B.K. Santosh, in charge of Maharastra and AP branches of Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidayala.

Addressing the gathering at the Peace and Harmony Festival organised at R.K. Beach, here, on Friday, Rajayogini Santosh said only those who have positive thoughts could foster universal harmony and peace.

New world order

"When one points an accusing finger at others, he/she should know that the other four fingers point at himself/herself". She spoke about the importance of giving instead of seeking favours from others.

On the role of the Brahma Kumaris, Rajayogini Santosh said peace festivals were being organised in the country and the world to propagate the message of peace and to promote a new world order devoid of hatred and turmoil. Rajayogi B.K. Mrutyunjaya Rao lamented that the world was moving away from peace to turmoil, righteousness to unrighteousness, light to darkness. He said the Ishwariya Viswa Vidyalaya was established to promote positive thinking among human beings.

He opined that body consciousness was leading to various problems like fear and suffering. Only meditation (Rajayoga) could relieve human suffering and that was being offered through the organisation. Stating that each individual was paying 46 per cent of his/her income as tax, he envisioned a `tax free' society in about 30 years. He said the money collected from the people was being used for wars.

Rajayogini B.K. Hemalatha, in charge of Trinidad and Caribbean branches, spoke. Rajayogini B.K. Kuldeep, director of Shanti Sarovar, Hyderabad was present.

Earlier, a kite festival was held in which a number of youths participated. The kites in various shapes and hues attracted a good number of eagles.
