KYOTO, JAPAN, August 28, 2007: “Since terrorism is now taking new shape with the advent of modern technology, there is a need to strengthen peace process and come out with the novel approach of peace initiatives along with prayers,” said His Holiness Sri Sri Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji of Jagadguru Sri Madhvaachaarya Moola Maha Samsthaanam, Sri Puthige Mutt, Udupi, Karnataka, India, while addressing the public ceremony organized by the Japanese Council of Religious Leaders, marking its 20th anniversary of World Peace Prayers, in Mount Hiei, Kyoto, Japan. Earlier in the day, delivering the key note speech during the panel discussion on “Harmony and Sustainable Living with Nature,” His Holiness pointed out that the seed of aggravating terrorism and the seed of deteriorating ecosystem is nothing but the diminishing of human heart and vanishing of the human value system. His message from the Vedas was to “live like a guest in this world, use minimum and give maximum.”
