Concerts for world peace

MUSICIAN AND composer Chitraveena N. Ravikiran presented two special concerts in Atlanta and Washington DC in the U.S. on October 20 and 21 respectively as a prayer for all those who have suffered since the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington and similar attacks in Kashmir, India. The concerts were intended to create public awareness regarding the various ramifications of these negative acts across the globe.

The other main objectives of these shows were: To get all likeminded citizens of the world together for the cause of Positive Progressive Peace; it is a worldwide call for all those who believe in constructive action and join hands to combat destructive forces. It is not enough to depend on Governments and the Army for this purpose; it is no longer a virtue to be good. It is a necessity; it is also an appeal to all religious fundamentalists to weed out hate in any form and remind that the core of every religion is love; it is an appeal to governments the world over to go beyond national/ religious/ racial frontiers and tackle destructive forces as a common evil and problem against humanity; Nairobi. An appeal to all major producers of films, toys and software to make a sincere attempt to reduce if not eliminate the mega-doses of violence An appeal to the media to maintain a balance between positive and negative news and events in order to keep the public perspectives in equilibrium.

And finally an appeal to my Muslim brethren. Please stand up for the cause of the true values of your religion - love and peace. A Jehad against innocents is a Jehad against one's own conscience.
