      -------------------------

"If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we have to begin with children; and if they will grow up in their natural innocence, we won't have to pass fruitless, idle resolutions, but we shall go from love to love and peace to peace, until at last all the corners of the world are covered with that peace and love for which, consciously or unconsciously , the whole world is hungering."

Mahatma Gandhi

Initiator of this peace initiative is His Holiness Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda, founder of International Sri Deep Madhavananda Ashram Fellowship and the System "Yoga in Daily Life". He is born in Rajasthan, India and has been teaching "Yoga in Daily Life" in Europe over the last 30 years. He especially dedicated his service to the Eastern Europe countries during the communist era, giving physical, mental, social, moral and spiritual support to people through his scientific YIDL-system.

 


For his tireless efforts he received a written expression of thanks from President of Republic Czechoslovakia. Mr. Vaclav Havel: "I greet Professor P. S. Maheshwarananda and give many thanks to him for his selfless help in the spiritual and practical aspects of life for the people Czechoslovakia through the difficult times of the last 18 years. I hope for the further blessed support of the Professor for our republic and wish him much success of his work for the health and spiritual development of humans" (Jan. 23, 1990)

Besides this ancient scientific system "Yoga in Daily Life" Swamiji is an active initiator of interreligious dialogs and peace prayers with world religious, political, social and cultural leaders.

The system "Yoga in Daily Life" is taught and practiced in more than 4.000 locations worldwide. To coordinate the YIDL branches around the world, the International Sri Deep Madhavananda Ashram Fellowship was founded. It is a non-profit and non-denominational society whose activities are to serve humankind by fostering world peace, humanitarian aid, human rights, protection of the environment and all creatures, tolerance, respect and freedom among religions, cultures and nations.
