“The Wright brothers appeared crazy before they flew. I have this crazy idea – a world
without violence. With all the violence in the world this idea may appear to be hoping
for Utopia, but we need to dream, and we will get there.” - H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Non-Violence: No Higher Calling is a movement dedicated to making the voice of non-violence louder. By re-glorifying non-violence and re-instilling our pride in peace, we can address violence in our communities, our homes, the media, and in schools. For every act of violence, we will commit to 100 acts of non-violence. And so we will reach a Billion Acts of Non-Violence. We are dedicating ourselves to a peace so profound that it inspires everything we do: from the games we play, to the words we speak, to the way we relate to ourselves and our neighbors.
What does non-violence look like? It could be actions big or small - from turning the other cheek in the vein of Gandhi and MLK to simply choosing not to use offensive language or to choosing to play video games that respect the value of human life.
The key fact is that these millions of actions by thousands of people will create a shift in our being and bring an awareness to our core human values that, in my opinion, has the greatest ability to shift the fabric of our society.
On March 30th this movement will be launched in New York City’s Dag
Hammarskjold Plaza (47th St and 2nd Ave) at 2:00pm by Global Humanitarian Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

You and your communities are invited. There is no admission fee.
