In 2001, the General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution proclaiming this day a day of <strong>renunciation of violence and a ceasefire.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Slogan of 2026:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, the UN International Day of Peace is celebrated worldwide under the slogan <em><strong>\u201cInvest in peace &#8211; For Everyone, Everywhere, Every day.\u201d<\/strong><strong><br>Programme in Mongolia:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, the UN International Day of Peace is celebrated worldwide under the slogan <em>\u201cInvest in peace for everyone, everywhere, every day.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Mongolia, the celebration of the International Day of Peace took place, as usual, on September&nbsp;21 at noon near the Peace Bell, which is installed in the square in the central square of Sukhbaatar. Mr. Jaap van Heerden, the UN Resident Coordinator in Mongolia, took part in the event. He delivered a speech on the importance of peace and read out the message from UN Secretary\u2011General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres on the occasion of the International Day of Peace. He also lit a peace candle and rang the Peace Bell, officially opening the ceremony. Representatives of various religious communities and organizations in Mongolia read prayers and mantras and held meditations on peace and the well\u2011being of humanity in accordance with their traditions.&nbsp;<em>The event was attended by representatives of the Hindu community, the Buddhist Dash Choy Lin Monastery, the \u201cOomoto Mongolia\u201d center, the Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter\u2011day Saints, the Brahma Kumaris, and the Baha\u2019i community of Mongolia.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sister Inna Kim, Brahma Kumaris National Coordinator (NC) of Mongolia<\/strong> conducted a short meditation and explained the triple meaning of the phrase \u201cOm Shanti.\u201d After that, she suggested that everyone observe a minute of silence in the name of world peace.&nbsp;Ours may be a small but valuable contribution for bringing peace and happiness in the society. On this special day, when people unite in thoughts, prayers, and deeds for the peace and well\u2011being of all humanity, we express our sincere gratitude to all the people and organizations that joined the celebration and made their contribution to it.&nbsp;Let <em>us<\/em> rekindle the commitments in our hearts&nbsp;<em><strong>\u201cInvest in peace &#8211; For Everyone, Everywhere, Every day.\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Photo report:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>UN International Day of Peace in Mongolia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1D2e3EbmE6EpsS_VXKGqkhb3E3qkg6V4z4) Chisinau(Kishinev), MoldovaCredo of Sis.

Although the final period of the Drama quickens its pace, revealing many unexpected moments, for Baba&#8217;s children it is, above all, the joy of service in every possible way: conveying Baba &#8216;s message in new venues, holding friendly gatherings and expanding contacts , exchanging interesting creative ideas and implementing them , experiencing the joy of collaboration, discovering new abilities and souls, acquiring new skills and invaluable experience &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We carried out the planned retreat program &#8220;With Love for One.&#8221; The Brahmins in Chisinau had been preparing for the retreat. Brahmin families from Ukraine &#8211; Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Bila Tserkva, and Mshants, arrived to participate. The eight-day program was intense and included group discussions, daily meditations, and time for solitude to identify subtle weaknesses of the soul and develop a program for personal spiritual progress. By common agreement, each participant spent three days examining themselves on one of the themes outlined: the first day\u2014&#8221;My Honesty with Myself,&#8221; the second\u2014&#8221;My Honesty with the Brahmin Family,&#8221; and the third\u2014&#8221;My Honesty with the Father.&#8221; Then, using Knowledge, we determined effective methods for eliminating the identified weaknesses and vices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, of course, the most coveted and especially joyful event at the end of the eight-day meeting was our beloved holiday, Raksha Bandhan. It was a wonderful opportunity to be together, to learn, to collaborate, to rejoice, and to celebrate as one united family. BK Sis. Gutiera Prodan spoke about the unique aspects of the highly revered M\u0101rtisor tradition in Moldova. Our Indian friend, Ms. Nilima Sharma, spoke poignantly about the profound emotion behind tying&nbsp;<em>rakhis&nbsp;<\/em>in India while Sis. Maria Guska, drawing parallels between the historical legacies of the two traditions, convincingly and clearly revealed their shared spiritual foundation: the primordial nature of the soul, the immutable laws of the universe and true spiritual values, and the eternity of existence. After the program, some participants approached Sister Maria to tie rakhis on their wrists, having learned that she had brought a package of rakhis with her. Many were in no hurry to leave even after the meeting, sharing their contact information and expressing a desire to participate in our other programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
