Today, September 21, 2026, United Nations International Day of Peace, AYUDH India honors Amma, an architect of world peace, laying the foundation for lasting harmony among nations of the world through her extraordinary acts of love and service around the globe. In alignment with the UN theme this year - 'Invest in Peace – For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day', members of AYUDH Chennai joined a virtual Integrated Amrita Meditation Technique(IAM20) Refresher Workshop facilitated by Brahmacharani Vagishamrita Chaitanya & team at the School of Spiritual & Cultural Studies, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri Campus on Sunday, 20 September.
Other participants who joined from England, France, Finland, Italy, Austria, Brazil, Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia and various cities in India came from all walks of life: engineers, doctors, managers, teachers, dancers, healers, homemakers, students, agriculturists and more. Their feedback about IAM practice was inspiring - reduced anxiety, renewed energy, and a deepened witness perspective (Sakshi Bhava). Nearly all rated the workshop a perfect 5/5, praising its clarity, pacing, and helpful videos.
It is important to note what Amma had said three decades ago in Her address in honor of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations:
“This world of ours is a big, wonderful flower with many petals. Only when this is understood and becomes deeply ingrained in us, will there be any real peace and unity…Together we are a power, an undefeatable power. When we work together, hand in hand, with love,… real progress will take place, and we will see the birth of peace... Let us pray and meditate together. That is the way to reach the shore of peace.”
Let us remember, peace is not built in conference rooms, but in our hearts, every day. Let us commit to our daily practice of IAM - beginning today and continuing through Amma’s birthday as our offering to Amma. Let’s keep building peace, one step at a time. Let’s join future IAM sessions and for everyone, everywhere, every day.
