We all aspire for Peace in every situation of our life. It is the utmost desire which lightens each and every person on the face of this earth, which can not be explained in words. This thought came true when Ranchi YPF team went to St Xavier’s College, Ranchi and organised “Talk for Peace”, “Extempore for Peace”, “Signature for Peace” and video presentation among youngsters present there. Around 5000 youth participated in the event which lasted for 4 days, 13th to 16th of February, 2015.

People really appreciated the event and youths were seen to be more excited then ever before after seeing all the activities related to Peace. They had never seen such an effort by any organization or group earlier. They said “This is an unprecedented activity & we wish more activities are done in future, we really need this.”

In all it was a wonderful event with lasting memories.

In this world people have priorities of money and power with all the discriminations and that’s why there is so much unrest and disturbance prevails everywhere in the lives of human beings all around the globe. What is needed is Peace.

To let all be aware about the eternal Peace dwelling in everyone’s heart without any discrimination Youth Peace Foundation is busy in creating a Culture of Peace amongst all with the help of the youth who practically experience Peace in their lives and are willing to spread the Message of Peace globally.

In this direction YPF team Ranchi conducted an event at St. Margaret Girls High School on 30^th January, 2015 where 150 youth participated in ‘Write for peace’ and ‘Art for Peace’. They presented different, unique and the sweetest ideas about Peace. This way YPF team is busy in organizing activities on various aspects and by virtue of these people are told the message of peace which when experienced within changes the life and one becomes at peace from within and thus they help create peace outside also in their surroundings. The event was a great success.

Who is my ‘friend’ and who is my ‘foe’? The most correct answer is “I” myself. None else. Why is it so? Because when I am truly happy from inside everything in this world looks and appears beautiful and soothing, but when I am not everything gets into the reverse gear causing hatred, anger, revenge, distaste for every good thing etc. Thus I am my friend and my foe both depending upon the inner vibrations.

Similarly when one is at Peace in its truest sense from within his vision and thoughts become full of kindness, love, warmth and humanity. Inner Peace is very much possible for each and every one of us in this living time.

And to create this culture of Peace amongst the youth and all the Youth Peace Foundation team organized an event at “Chano” having activities like – Talk for Peace, Write for Peace, Art for Peace and Dance for Peace on the National Day 26th January, 2015. It was very encouraging, inspiring and path breaking for the mis-concepts about peace.

More than 150 youth participated in these events and made like – “Peace is very much possible for one and all.”

The greatest tragedy in this world with the human being is that the most natural and simple thing has been made the most complicated and misunderstood. And the result is that the world is passing through such a turmoil and turbulence.

One of the things is Peace which has been made a mystery and so far as if it is beyond reach of a human being. To remove this ignorance and misunderstanding the Ranchi branch of Youth Peace Foundation took an inspiring initiative on 26^th Jannuary, 2015 at Gaushala Ground by conducting events like ‘Run for Peace’ and ‘Dance for Peace’.  26^th January is a national festival and on this YPF team tried to make an awareness festival for each and every youth of Ranchi.

The main motto was to ask the youth after organizing the event – ‘Is Peace Possible ?’ And the beautiful answer in “YES” reverberated from every corner. More than 200 youth participated in the aforesaid activities and enjoyed to its fullest and got encouraged as well as inspired by affirming the positive “Yes, it is possible.” Mr. Ram Chandra Baitha.

Peace is like the sweet nectar of a flower having a pleasing and satisfying fragrance. We all the human beings are like flowers individually having immense nectar and everlasting fragrance within us, but being busy in daily hustle and bustle we have been overlooking the sources of true happiness, contentment and peace .

For creating ‘The Culture of Peace’ for every living human being on this earth ‘Youth Peace Foundation’ have solemnly undertaken the responsibility to spread the awareness that ‘Peace is practically possible in every human being’s life’, and to accomplish it YPF team, Ranchi organized a signature campaign and ‘peace tree’ near JSCA International Stadium on 18^th January, 2015 in which 500 youth participated by signing for peace and shared their ideas about Peace. A match between celebrities was being held and signature flex with peace tree proved to be the best and extraordinary way for awareness.

Many people got attracted towards the ‘peace tree’ and appreciated the approach for such a noble cause for the entire humanity and proposed join hands and work together. A number of the participants and visitors logged on to the YPF website and liked it on the face book at the spot itself.

It was an amazing experience seeing the enthusiasm and interest about peace amongst people.

Peace is a subject that is the most misunderstood and wrongly discussed of all the subjects known to the human beings since time immemorial and therefore all the time there were, is and will be the wise person who conveys the most correct and righteous (practical) meaning of Peace.

Few youth who have understood and realized Peace within are committed as well as determined to spread the Culture of Peace amongst one and all without any discrimination whatsoever. Inner Peace is not a relative tern and it does not depend on any external thing.

YPF (Youth Peace Foundation) team, Ranchi organized ‘Talk for Peace’, ‘Art for Peace’ and ‘Dance for Peace’ activities near J.P.Market with all the enthusiasm, zeal and zest. Those who participated got motivated and inspired with all the excitement and enjoyed the beauty of message of Peace.

All the 30 participants along with the judges got wholeheartedly involved into all the activities and enjoyed to its fullest. Many new and innovative ideas were shared by the participants and all were appreciable.

Every participant expressed categorically that it was a good experience and the participation was too good to describe in words.

Youth Peace Foundation, a group of the awakened youths is committed to create a ‘Culture of Peace’ among youths of all around the the globe by conducting activities like ‘Write for Peace’,  ‘Talk for Peace’,  ‘Walk for Peace’, ‘Music and Dance for Peace’ etc. at all the possible social places, Institutions, Organizations, Corporate etc. as a service to the humanity. In this move, the YPF conducted an activity ‘Talk for Peace’ at Jawaharlal Nehru Public School and Mother Teresa Sr. Sec. Co-Ed.
