Peace from harmony through science
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE, 21st SEPT. 2015 with
“The ABC of Harmony”
Students in some tertiary institutions and local JHS and SHS pupils in Basic schools learn more about peace at international day of peace, events on the 21st September, 2015 in Accra, Ghana.
The events dedicated to the great peace maker, Mahatma Gandhi were organized by Ms Ayo Ayoola-Amale, a Law lecturer, President of Global Harmony Association (GHA-Africa), Vice president of GHA int’l (http://peacefromharmony.org/) and a Peace builder.
The aim of the event was to sensitize young people about their own role in promoting peace at school, at home and in their neighborhoods.
Lectures on peace with the theme of this year’s commemoration “Partnerships for Peace – Dignity for All” were presented.
The pupils marked the Day by sharing their own definitions of peace as well as through poetry recitals and performances, peace songs and dance. Pupils also watched a video clips on the theme of peace. Among the videos clips was a film on Mahatma Gandhi titled Pilgrim of Peace.
The books on the great peace maker - Mahatma Gandhi were read and the ABC of Harmony (2012: http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=478) by the GHA int’l. The ABC of Harmony is scientific development of the Mahatma Gandhi great teaching nonviolent resistance.
The ABC of Harmony became theoretical basis of the first Global Peace Science (GPS) by more than 140 authors from 33 countries in 2015: http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=585. It appeared for the first time after more than two centuries of the military science birth at Heinrich von Bulow’s work in 1799. The GPS 12 chapters unfold the scientific discovery of a formula for global peace of the 21st century: “Peace comes from harmony of SPHERONS (harmonious classes) through science and education.”
Ms Ayo Ayoola-Amale delivered the keynote speech. She urged the students and all those attending the event to “plant the seeds of peace within themselves” even as we all pursue world peace.
The Law lecturer added: “We should connect with the greatest power that emanates from within – the power of love – to create cultures of peace, justice and harmony.”
The General Assembly of the United Nations has declared 21st of September, 2015 as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. The theme of this year’s commemoration is “Partnerships for Peace – Dignity for All” which focus on the importance of all sectors of society to work together to strive for peace.
International Day of Peace is observed around the world each year on 21st September. The United Nations General Assembly has declared it a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.
In the face of so many external threats to life, religion, health, environment, economy, human rights, political stability, and regional and global aggression, it is reasonable that our focus would be drawn to the world around us. Our work should be focused on conceiving of nonviolent instrumental mechanisms of peacebuilding that engage these issues and create the conditions for peace and human security. This is an essential work, and only accomplished if we come together in one accord without permitting our religious, cultural and national differences hinder our goal and see our diversity as strength rather than obstacle to our collective action.
On this International Day of Peace, may we be the peace for the advancement of true love and happy life in the world.
‘There is no way to peace, peace is the way.’’-Mahatma Gandhi
