Prem Rawat was invited by Gianni Pittella, First Vice President of the European Union, to share his vision of peace at a special event called “Words of Peace for Europe,” held at the EU Parliament House in Brussels on June 29, 2010. Mr. Rawat spoke to a diverse audience of diplomats, local leaders, and other honored guests from many countries.

Mr. Rawat’s remarks offered a clear and challenging perspective. “If we have the power to make such a mess out of this earth, then certainly we have enough power to bring peace to this earth, too,” he said. “The question remains whether or not it is something that we want to do, because peace begins with every one of you. It is individual human beings who need peace; it is individual human beings in whom the desire resides; and it is on the individual human being’s stage that peace needs to dance.”

Concluding his address during which pin-drop silence was frequently interrupted by bursts of applause, Mr. Rawat declared, “Determination, understanding, and clarity have to be the fundamental foundations on which this peace will be built. Not exclusion, but inclusion. The day our measurements are based on our similarities and not our differences is the day we will begin to lay the foundation for peace in this world.”

At the end of the event, Mr. Pittella personally thanked Mr. Rawat for his insights, declaring that: "Today, peace is considered an irreplaceable factor in every effort for a society that is based on the dignity of the individual and on common welfare. However, any effort for peace made by institutions cannot fully succeed if the value of peace is not deeply rooted in every person's heart.”

    No puedo expresar, a Prem Rawat, el agradecimiento que siento por los beneficios que he obtenido de su trabajo altruista: Por el echo de haberle escuchado y considerado, he podido comprender y practicar el arte de vivir; esto me ha traído apreciación, paz y alegría; renovándose y creciendo en mi cada día. Él, no sólo me habla de la paz, me ha dado un método práctico para ponerme en contacto con ella y sentir que es real, no una idea; además, me da su apoyo e inspiración constantes; yo sé, por que lo he sentido muchísimas veces, que eso que siento, es mi motor, mi punto de partida; en ese estado me siento completo, en mi elemento. Mis mejores deseos para ti, Prem Rawat; mi apoyo a tu magnífica labor y el agradecimiento, inexpresable, de mi corazón.

    I was just watching a very old video from when he first came to England. The setting is different, but the message is the same.

    The message of Prem Rawat is simple, direct and authentic. He knows what he speaks in the most personal way and I am privileged to have been listening to his message for most of my adult life. While so many people claim to have answers to peace, Prem knows the way to world peace is through the heart of each individual. He has shown me this and I am forever grateful. His message deserves to be heard above the shouting and proclamations of the political, social and religious pundits.

    In almost 40 years of being nourished by Prem Rawat's message, I have perceived no deviation from his theme that peace is possible. I am delighted that this is reaching a broader audience.
