May Peace Prevail

On Earth

Yoga, Healing & Peace

by Fumi Johns Stewart

The true human heart vibrates in the frequency of Love. The heart forever gravitates and finds peace and healing through right human relations, unity and compassionate actions. The search for inner peace and harmonious balance with the outer world has been a continuous human journey over the centuries and seems to have gained ever more focus in our current world environment. Our mission as seekers of truth, as peace builders and peace makers unite our hearts as we continue to co create healing and peace through Unity. The spiritual teacher and visionary, Masahisa Goi of Japan, anchored some 70 years ago a frequency of universal oneness which changed the fabric of human consciousness forever. After the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Masahisa Goi received the prayer, May Peace Prevail On Earth, in deep communion with the Divine. This universal prayer was born out of the ashes of millions

of planetary beings not only of Japan but around the world who suffered the aftermath of a global war and crimes against humanity. Since then, the message and prayer, May Peace Prevail On Earth has become an international message of peace embraced by our global family.

The International Year of Peace was celebrated by the United Nations in 1986. This was the year May Peace Prevail On Earth traveled out of Japan to start her journey of touching hearts and souls. In 1989, May Peace Prevail On Earth International, formerly known as The World Peace Prayer Society, incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the state of New York and became an United Nations NGO soon after.

Over several decades, May Peace Prevail On Earth has served on the United Nations International Day of Peace committees collaborating with other NGOs in support of the Student Observance which takes place at the UN on this day. The peace message exemplifies the spirit of the International Day of Peace embracing people of every faith, culture and tradition. The simple yet powerful message is intergenerational and inter-spiritual bridging hearts to assist in the creation of a Culture of Peace through unity and diversity. One highlight moment on the International Day of Peace is the ringing of the Peace Bell in the UN Rose Garden. May Peace Prevail On Earth has organized youth over the years to carry our international flags representing the UN member states on this day. The students lead the flag procession into the Rose Garden and surrounds the Secretary General as he rings the Peace Bell and send his message of peace out to the world along with UN Peace Ambassadors and guests. The spirit of May Peace Prevail On Earth is synonymous to the International Day of Peace. Peace Poles which carry the message of peace in the languages of the world have been planted and rededicated especially in honor of the International Day of Peace. The World Peace Flag Ceremony which invokes peace to prevail in every nation and region of the world has also been a highlight presentation at the UN Student Observance on IDP. The voices of youth calling for peace to prevail on earth with the waving of international flags sends frequencies of healing and peace to every corner on earth and to every human heart.

The 2022 theme of the International Day of Peace is End Racism, Build Peace. Racism is multifaceted touching upon issues involving racial and gender inequality, climate change, indigenous rights, women’s freedom, gun control, violence and the list goes on. It is a chilling reminder that our work is not over and that every joint effort we make to quell the fire of racism accumulates to build the future destiny of our global family.

As we celebrate the 8th anniversary of The International Day of Yoga and the 77th anniversary of the International Day of Peace, let us walk hand in hand, heart to heart in shining our Divine Spark for the evolution of human consciousness and a thriving Culture of Peace for all.
