Gurudev has been on the move since the stringent laws around the coronavirus pandemic were relaxed. The world has been filled with darkness and despair post-pandemic, and Gurudev’s #IStandForPeace campaign has united people of different backgrounds.
Taking the message of peace, Gurudev reached the city of Atlanta in the United States at the beginning of the month. The vibrant people of Atlanta embraced Gurudev’s #IStandForPeace call, which has rekindled hope in the hearts of millions across continents.
In a tweet, Gurudev shared that the visit to Atlanta is almost after a decade, “Reminded the gathering that #peace begins from within & each one of us has the power to unite society when we stand up for peace,” the tweet read.
Gurudev has been in a series of conversations, including keynote addresses, discussing topics such as peace, social justice, the environment, mental health and wellness, meditation, and the power of breathing using the Sudarshan Kriya technique.
