A Bridge to Peace- Kensington Palace, United Kingdom [24:29 min] This video is from an event at Kensington Palace in the United Kingdom as part of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. This event was in support of the St. John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital, and includes several speakers involved in the project. In his address, Prem Rawat emphasizes the need for peace on an individual level and the impact it can have in conjunction with efforts to help people in need.

Freedom of the City of London [34:47 min] The granting of the Freedom of the City of London is an ancient ceremony, dating back to nearly 800 years. In England, the most extensive borough freedom is that conferred by the Freedom of the City of London, first recorded in 1237. It is considered the original Keys to the City upon which all other city keys are based. Prem Rawat's nomination for the freedom of the city of London was made in recoginition of the many decades he has dedicated to peace. In a rare departure from the convention, and in recognition of the importance of the event, the ceremony was held in historic Guildhall. The representatives of many humanitarian and charitable organizations were present, as well as city of London government officials, business people and International guests. Following his admmision to the freedom, Prem Rawat was invited to address the audience.

Murray Craig: The ceremony today is rather symbolic. Historically, it is of great value. We've certainly given some very interesting people, this freedom over the years. We're very glad to add you this list of fame. Nelson Mandela received this in 1996. We had Napolean Bonaparte, Florence Nightingale, and Marget thatcher too.
Craig John Murray (born 17 October 1958) is a British political activist, former ambassador to Uzbekistan and former Rector of the University of Dundee.

Deputy Richard Reagan: I'ld like to be among the first to congratulate Prem Rawat on being admitted to this freedom to city of London. I'm delighted too, sir, to welcome you. It's wonderful to share this special moment with you and your family. For those of you who are not so familiar with Prem Rawat's work. I would like to say a few words of introduction. I was privileged in 2007 to hear Prem Rawat at a very high profile event in Guildhall, at Lord Mayor's appeal. Prem Rawat's effort towards peace has been lifelong. He has dedicated himself to enguarding people all over the world, to make peace a priority in their lives. His message of peace transcends all cultures and social conditions. It's based on the importance of the individual and addressing the very nature of human beings. Prem Rawat has founded TPRF, which spreads message of peace and spearheads numerous humanitarian initiatives in collaboration with governments and other International organizations. It provides aid for people in urgent need of life sustaining resources such as food and water. For his commitment both as ambassador of peace and a promoter of humanitarian Initiatives, he has received awards in honor of his work from many Institutions in many countries. And there I say this is not the first freedom of the city, you've received, sir. Very recently you spoke at the European Parliament in Brussels at the invitation of the Vice President, to share your unique perspective of peace. I would now like you Prem to address this distinguished audience and share with us your vision of Peace and dignity. Thank you very much

Prem Rawat: I'm so pleased to join you as a fellow freeman. When I was coming here, just looking around every corner of this wonderful city which is so full of history. But even though history is so fascinating, if we look at it, there's a pattern. Their is a pattern of peace, there's a pattern of war, and there's a pattern of people wanting properity, and there's pattern of people being squashed. What does that mean? Einstein said something wonderful. He said, while defining Insanity, is to keep doing the same thing and expect different results. For such a long time, I feel, that people of this world keep doing the same thing and hoping and praying for absolutely different results. And that's what I wanna bring your attention to!

Guildhall has been used as a town hall for several hundred years, and is still the ceremonial and administrative centre of the City of London and its Corporation. The term Guildhall refers both to the whole building and to its main room, which is a medieval-style great hall. The current building was begun in 1411AD. During the Roman period, it was the site of an amphitheatre, the largest in Britannia.

Lima, Peru [50:14 min] There is a metronome. And it is the metronome of this breath that is beating and beating and beating. When you listen to the symphony of existence, what happens? Kindness fills you, because you understand.

Wish you were here! [24:41 min] I can tell you one thing, every person who has been within, has called out to the entire humanity and called out "Wish, you were here!" Because there is no place like home! And that's your home (pointing to the heart).

When people are told by doctors that they've only 6 months to live, first it's hard to digest it. But once they come to terms with it, I've seen them getting bubbly. They become conscious and start enjoying everyday! "I don't wanna be distracted" But why does it have to be dire straits before clarity kicks in? Can't we have it before the dire straits? And you know what that process is called? Being Conscious.

You want to pray? Great! But what should your prayer be like? Santa Claus's wishlist? Or should the prayer be "Thank you! Thank you for this life, for this breath, for today, for this moment". But it isn't. Because there is no experience of today.

Finding Home [26:33 min] What I'm offering is not “Let's imagine a mango” No. Here is the mango. Here, have a bite; taste it. That's what I offer. So the prepare becomes seeing that home as it is. The preparation becomes really really preparing yourself to see it with your eyes. Not somebody's else's explanation. Thirst- it's there. It needs to be discovered. Knowledge is there- it needs to be discovered.

I'm here to help. To help facilitate that process. I get to hold the mirror up, you get to see. The answers are within you. And so far you've become very good at formulating questions. Now let help you to accept answers that come from within you.
The art of coming home.

Have you seen an ant? If you've seen one ant, you've seen all ant. There they are, always going about their business. They get a little concerned when you come around, because you may step on them or something. And they go places to find food. But there's one thing that is really remarkable about the little ant. This tiny little ant may venture all over the place (And your lawn is like big thick jungle for the little ant) And it goes wherever it has to go. But there is one thing very special- and that is this ant knows how to get back home. For this ant, it is really really important. Got to get back home. Think about that. Wherever it goes, whatever it does, it does everything to remember how to get back home.
Do you know how to get back home? Because if you have mastered the art of going out but not coming back, then it is a half the mastery. It's kind of one-way experiment. And people to that- make the list; this is what I want in my life. Fine. Go and do whatever you have to do. I'm not the one who will tell you what you should and shouldn't do. But a piece of good advice, do you know how to get back home? Where is your home?

What is Peace? [65:20 min] I'm here to hopefully make you think about the possibility of understanding and having peace in your life. I don't know who you are. But I know, in some ways, you're very much like me.
It is easy to toss around the word "Peace". But what is Peace? What is it? Is it a moment in which all you hear is the crickets? Wind chimes, no traffic, no airplanes going overhead. Is that peace? Well, you'll be surprised, but to some people that is peace. And that's sad. That silence from external noise/pollution has become so irritating. When we find absence of that, we say "Peace"!
Or is it an undeniable feeling not born of thought. And this is a big issue, isn't it? Think about it. Everything that we react to, is born of a thought. It doesn't take much for us to get upset. So is peace simply not being upset. For some people, it is. It's sad, but it's true.
Then what is peace? So let me tell you something, I can't tell you what it is. Does that mean I haven't felt peace? I have felt peace. And I can feel peace every day. And I feel it every day. But I can't tell you what it feels like. Like I can't tell you what the sugar feels like, in my mouth. I can't! I can only allude to it.
I have nothing to sell to you, but I appreciate that you came to listen to me. So I'm going to tell you something. There is something that can put you in touch with that real joy that is inside of you, and it is called Knowledge. The Knowhow to be able to get in touch with that beauty that is inside of you. You hear my words, guess what? They're not just words! When I said you should feel peace, I can make it happen. Am I being unhumble? No.

Mazara del Vallo- May 2011 [41:17 min] Prem Rawat's visit to Mazara del Vallo, Sicily, on May 27th 2011. He made a keynote address to 1200 people highlighting the first annual Week of Peace celebration in Mazara del Vallo.
Maharaji starts with "Mr. Mayor, distinguished guests, ladies, and gentlemen. Not only the weather is co-operating, the hearts are warming too. And the subject of Peace is being discussed- talked about. Which in my humble opinion is the most noble subject to be speaking about. Because it is important to every human being on the face of this earth. I've held no government position. I've been and I'm an ordinary citizen like you..."

More than words [35:30 min] A compilation of different events, which were held at

• Seattle, Washington
• Phoenix, Arizona
• Universal city, California
• Miami, Florida
• White Plains, New York

Our reason for being here is to take the spotlight from everywhere to let it shine on something that is inside of us. From morning till evening we think about everything. So the spotlight is on everything else. Everything is being catered to. So take the spotlight from all those things for a few moments and say "Wait a minute. There is something going on here that is fundamentally very powerful and beautiful." Something that should be appreciated, accepted, catered to. That's what needs to happen. Because you've been given this life. The ability to be able to listen to understand and take in what is being offered. It's offered because nothing is being charged. By the very nature that it is not charged, it's a gift!

What an incredible opportunity to not be empty-handed. If you don't wanna go empty-handed, you better not be empty-handed right now. Got to start hanging on to it. Collect! Don't let this day just go by. It's happening now, and now is the time to gather inner strength.

Santiago, Chile [63:48 min] I want you to understand your fragility, and at the same time, I want you to understand your strength. Because there is a strength that you have that is unparalleled — but it lies in the realm of clarity.
