Ahimsa Vishwa Bharti : India is the holy land of non-violence, peace and spirituality. Several world leaders have conceptualized the future of India as the messenger of non-violence. Ahimsa vishwa Bharati is an endeavour to make this universal message an integral part of our life style. To build a society and nation bereft of violence, terrorism, exploitation, poverty, caste distinctions or communalism and to improve humanity, Munishree Lokesh brought in a spiritual revolution through the establishment of Ahimsa Vishwa Bharati on 28 October, 2005. The leader of this pioneering revolution Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni Ji has vowed that in order to reveal the strength of dharma, it should be integrated to spirituality, social service and made into a vehicle for eradicating social evils. In order to redeem this pledge along with the foundation of Ahimsa Vishwa Bharati he is working to execute a programme focused on three aspects. First he is leading a campaign against female foeticide, drug addiction and environmental pollution from Gujarat to Punjab through an ‘All Communities Public Consciousness Awareness Campaign’ on behalf of Jain dharma to Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat and other states for the establishment of branches of Ahimsa Vishwa Bharati to wipe out social discriminations.
Second, for education, health and medicine, means of livelihood for the disprivileged and for enhancing spiritual experience in their lives two large ashrams have been constructed in Udaipur and Jodhpur. The application of social service and spiritual practice from these places will be beneficial for entire humanity. The organization has decided to expedite the construction of ‘Achrya Dr. Lokesh Ashram’ in Udaipur and Jodhpur on the occasion of the 50th birth anniversary year (2010-2011) of Gurudev. Publication The Unborn Curse (Ajanma Abhishap) Initiative Peace Education : After an intense study of 23 years & experiments, Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni has prepared a method called ‘Peace Education’ which is a combination of ancient meditation, yoga and new science. This method is very helpful to eradicate the beastial tendency and to proliferate the divine thoughts in human mind to build a peaceful society which is the main aim of Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni. It is mentioned in U.N.O. “War, germs first in mind then fought in battle field.” Keeping this in mind, Acharayashree Lokesh has prepared a unique scientific technique to guide the human brain towards peace. The technique develops the right side of brain which is responsible for the development of conscience and intellect that helps in a balanced & dynamic growth of man-kind. This is a scientifically approved fact that there is a layer of animal brain in human brain which is the root cause of violence, terror, hatred and lust & the same way there is a layer of Niyocartax that enhances peace of mind. The course of Peace Education pacifies the animal brain and activates the Niyocartax layer. Stress Management, Anger Management and Self Management are important aspects of Peace Education. Mind has immense power. It can be awakened. According to the science of brain left side of brain is responsible for logic, mathematics, language and physical thoughts. Right side of brain is responsible for spiritual awakening, inner intelligence, dreams and imagination. Peace Education creates a balance between the two. Hyper activation of sympathetic nervous system makes a person aggressive and rude, he feels uncomfortable. Hyper activation of para-sympathetic nervous system makes a person coward, passive and suffers from inferiority complex. Peace Education is a process of balancing the two. In our brain there is a conflict between Reasoning mind and Emotions. Reasoning says this work is wrong, don’t do it, emotions are strong and we do it. There distance between knowledge and conduct is created. Peace Education is a process of controlling the emotions. Interfaith Harmony : Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni has been honored with National Communal Harymony Award 2010 for his outstanding contribution in the field of Interfaith Harmony and Communal Harmony. Acharyashree through welfare organization Ahimsa Vishwa Bharti has been making efforts to establish interfaith harmony by conducting padyatras, peace and harmony tours in India and abroad, organized seminars, workshops. Communal harmony refers to the harmony that exists within a community or a group. The relationship between communities such as this is smooth and grows to greater heights if sustained well. Fear, suspicion and hatred should not be left to rule a community as this brings about communal disharmony. A community divided is a nation divided. A community united is a nation enlighten. Peace is an essential criterion for development. Harmony is about co-existence that means live and let live. It is a way forward towards peace and perhaps prosperity, both urgently required in a world of growing political and economic dissonance. Acharyashree has been promoting understanding between different religions to increase acceptance of others. His philosophy strengthens the autonomy of thought of every individual. If you perceive every being as a thinking individual, you will not trample on his or her thoughts and emotions. We must respect the beliefs of others as much as we respect our own beliefs. His philosophy states that no single perspective on an issue contains the whole truth. Inter-faith harmony is a conceivable condition, signifying peaceful co-existence among practitioners of various religious beliefs, aimed at eliminating the possibility of discord, violent or non-violent. Such a condition calls for a global level of understanding that all religions are mutually acceptable per se in terms of their basic tenets as well as manifestations in human behavior along with all ramifications of traditions and their evolution to the contemporary life.
Overall the aim of this harmony is to derive a common ground “belief through a concentration on similarities between faiths, understanding of values, and commitment to the world.” It is the promotion of the understanding between various religions to enhance acceptance of each other. Numerous attempts have been made world wide by countless peace loving people at interfaith meetings to bring interfaith harmony to planet Earth but despite these wonderful efforts the religious wars continue to rage on. Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni says we must respect others point of view along with our views. No single perspective on an issue contains the whole truth. He believes that violence is not a solution to any problem Peace through Dialogue is an effective way to bring harmony between different communities, sects and religions. Female Foeticides : Increasing incidence of female foeticides is a most distressing phenomenon which puts a question mark on the development of society. The crime of foeticide is on an increasing in the society. On one hand there are tall claims about growth of civilization, and on the other practice of such a despicable crime. Nature has its own mechanism which if disturbed could lead to destruction. In today’s context, it appears as if human beings are not seriously concerned about destruction. The evidence of this is visible in the increasing incidences of foeticide. In our society, where a woman’s identity gets challenged from many angles it cannot be denied that women hailing from the enlightened section of the society tend to be anti-women. Some may argue that legislation is already there against foeticide. However one cannot escape one’s sense of responsibility. Unless the social conscience is aroused, the impact of legislation becomes limited. Indeed no legislation would be of any avail until such times as the society does not change its notions towards the women-folk.

Yoga & Meditation Yoga and meditation strengthen your body and mind providing mental peace and physical power, help you fight disease and live longer and healthier. Yoga is an ancient Indian body of knowledge that dates back more than 500" years ago. The word "Yoga" came from the Sanskrit word "yuj" which means "to unite or integrate." Yoga is about the union of a person's own consciousness and the universal consciousness. Ancient Yogis had a belief that in order for man to be in harmony with himself and his environment, he has to integrate the body, the mind, and the spirit. For these three to be integrated, emotion, action, and intelligence must be in balance. The Yogis formulated a way to achieve and maintain this balance and it is done through exercise, breathing, and Meditation - the three main Yoga structures. In yoga, the body is treated with care and respect for it is the primary instrument in man’s work and growth. Yoga Excises improve circulation, stimulate the abdominal organs, and put pressure on the glandular system of the body, which can generally result to better health. Environment : Environment is an issue of high concern. Environment protection, Environment conservation and Environment restoration is one of the important activities Ahimsa Vishwa Bharti under the guidance of Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni has been working. We are involved in the practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organizational or governmental levels, for the benefit of the natural environment and humans. Due to the pressures of population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently. This has been recognized, and governments have begun placing restraints on activities that cause environmental degradation. Our philosophy supports the autonomy of self-control, of striving to balance our personal consumption of things by rationalizing between our needs and desire. If you ultimately feel that you own nothing and no one, you will not trample the ecology on which our survival depends. Maintaining the environment as it was before human additions allows plants to continue growing, plants that help regulate temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, an provide oxygen. Environmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organizational or governmental levels, for the benefit of the natural environment and humans. Due to the pressures of population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently. Environmental protection is influenced by three interwoven factors: environmental legislation, ethics and education. Each of these factors plays its part in influencing international, national-level environmental decisions and personal-level environmental values and behaviors. For environmental protection to become a reality, it is important for societies to develop each of these areas that, together, will inform and drive environmental decisions. Environment is an Issue of high concern. The conservation of the environment is something we should think about seriously. With the pollution and the growing industrialization our environment is losing the charm. It’s adversely affected with the things happening around. Environment conservation is something which is a major topic of discussion. The animals in the earth today may not be there tomorrow because of the changing environment. The animals are not like us to adapt to any variations. They are accustomed to some and need that for the living. Many things are changing because of the environment and its conservation is a must. The conservation of the environment is something we should think about seriously. With the pollution and the growing industrialization our environment is losing the charm. The harmful chemicals are being thrown or discarded in the environment and the different types of pollution that our environment has to face each day are all responsible for the degradation of the environment. Planting trees alone in the name of environment conservation won’t help. There are issues like water level falling and the global warming and the glacial ice melting etc. These are no different but a result of our changing environment. Environmental Restoration is the deliberate attempt to speed recovery of damaged areas. It ranges from practical and economic attempts to simply restore some productivity to degraded grazing lands, to the attempt to return full ecosystem function and structure in protected ecosystems. Restoration is needed virtually everywhere humans have been active past the hunter-gatherer stage. There is a need to create a sense of community ownership and responsibility for our natural resources, foster cross-cultural and intergenerational understanding, promote civic engagement and encourage volunteerism. Maintaining the environment as it was before human additions allows plants to continue growing, plants that help regulate temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, an provide oxygen. Maintaining the environment helps preserve animal species that combine with the environment to help maintain plants (seed dispersion, pollination by insects, etc) on which we depend. Maintaining the environment allows us to live free of any pollutants or hazards that we might introduce into our environment. That leaves us free to try to survive in the "natural" environment which includes things like sharks, poisonous insects and reptiles, pollen, poisonous plants, viruses, bacteria, thousands of parasites, and other animals that compete for food and land. Maintaining the environment allows future generations of humans to grow and live without having to deal with anything we've done to contaminate the environment in which we do live and they will live.
