Three Cities, One Message of Peace
The public tour opened on May 28 at Manhattan’s historic Marble Collegiate Church, where more than 1,000 people packed the landmark sanctuary for Pathway to Peaceful Prosperity. Television personality Monica Vaswani introduced Binaya S. Pradhan, Consul General of India in New York, who hailed the event as “a monumental bridge between India’s heritage of inner education and America’s search for meaning.” Grammy-nominated chant artist Krishna Das lifted the candle-lit hall with resonant Om chanting and a rousing “Om Namah Shivaya,” after which philanthropist and Grammy winner Chandrika Tandon called the evening “a beacon of light for our city.”
When Didi Krishna took the lectern, she re-defined the word PEACE as “Prosperity Emanating As Conscious Expansion” and guided the audience through a ten-minute meditation on abundance. “When the heart is at home with itself, prosperity flows to every corner of life,” she told the quietly riveted crowd.
Four nights later, on June 4, the message turned to fostering a happy and fulfilling family life at the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Bridgewater, New Jersey. Parents, grandparents, and children filled the main auditorium for Secrets to a Happy Home, where Didi offered timeless principles for harmony and witnessed cultural performances by youngsters from both the temple community and the Sadhu Vaswani Gurukul. Guests were treated to a special darshan tour of the revered South-Indian shrine before the program began.
The tour concluded on June 7 in Washington, D.C., where diplomats, congressional staffers, physicians, and students convened at Le Méridien for Habits for Happiness. Didi presented practical stress-reset techniques rooted in both ancient scripture and modern neuroscience, then led a symbolic “Peace Walk” in the capitol. Participants carried joy in their hearts reeling with the messages seeded by Didi in her talk about cultivating happiness as a birthright. Talks of the forthcoming Sadhu Vaswani Center For World Peace in New Jersey—while chanting a Sanskrit prayer for harmony filled the air.
“A sonic tsunami of Om Namah Shivaya shook Manhattan to its core,” observed one attendee, echoing the sentiment of many who called the tour “the most uplifting interfaith experience of the year.”
Chandrika Tandon added, “Dada J. P. Vaswani believed peace begins in the heart and spreads outward. Didi is proving that truth on the world stage.”
“This tour proves peace is not an abstract ideal—Didi turns it into a life skill.” said Dilip Chauhan, Deputy Commissioner, NYC Mayor’s Office of International Affairs
Throughout the journey, dignitaries such as NYC Deputy Commissioner Dilip Chauhan, community icons Ranju and Ravi Batra, arts patron Shoba Viswanathan, hotelier Ramola Motwani, and Indiaspora leaders praised the programs for weaving Indian spirituality into the American cultural fabric.
