Students for Peace is a student club at
Maharishi
University of Management, the home of
consciousness based education. You may ask the question, "Why would a university
founded on the principle of creating world peace need a peace club?" The reason
is simple…synergy.
Students have always
played a key role in speaking out against war. As a result of 9/11, the nation
was suddenly forced to awaken to the fact that America is not an invincible
country. Individuals, who previously hadn't thought twice about the state of the
world, began to wonder what could be done to resolve conflict in the family of
nations. Since that attack, peace clubs have been established at almost every
university around the country.
We are creating a channel in which we can connect with other students and activists whom desire world peace. Our aim is to help raise awareness about our unique solution orientated approach to transforming negative trends in the world. Peace is not simply a matter of preventing or stopping a war. Peace is a condition that permeates a society on every level. It lives in the minds and hearts of its people, and from there it radiates outward to the furthest reaches of the cosmos. We feel deep in our hearts that all of our actions can collectively make a difference.
