PRESS RELEASE
His Holiness Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda will be in Sydney on his World Peace Tour March 10 -18 2008.  Swamiji is a well-known environmentalist, humanitarian and spiritual luminary, who is particularly renowned for his peace work of four decades in Eastern Europe.

The message that Swamiji brings to Sydney is “Spiritual Awakening for World Peace”. He will give a series of public talks and workshops in Sydney about how individuals can help change the state of world affairs. In his most recently published book, The Hidden Power in Humans, Swamiji says:

“The mightiest power in humans is the power of thought and now is the time to use our intellectual energy for the benefit of the world, rather than being the cause of its destruction. The path of Yoga and Meditation helps to unearth the valuable treasure of spiritual knowledge buried within us and put it to good use. In this way each person can contribute something worthwhile to the planet and its recovery”.

Audiences are drawn to Swamiji’s lucid explanations of the mind, psyche and the hidden strength contained within the human consciousness. Whether he is answering questions about dealing with anger, stress or the state of world affairs, Swamiji’s talks resonate with people from all walks of life, prompting Ambassador Jonathan Dean, former advisor to the U.S. Government on global security, to say:

“Over the centuries India has sent many outstanding leaders, both east and west to spreads its ancient wisdom, but none with the unusual qualities of H.H. Swami Maheshwarananda. Swamiji combines a penetrating psychological insight with immense spiritual wisdom….Swamiji is at once a visionary and gifted organiser of human efforts”.

H.H. Swamiji’s work for humanity and the environment is tireless: from teaching meditation as a means to conflict resolution in the Balkan countries; for which he was awarded the Danica Order of Croatia; to actively campaigning on behalf of developing countries for access to clean safe drinking water and establishing the Desert Rainwater Harvesting Initiative in drought-stricken Rajasthan, Swamiji demonstrates that being a spiritual master does not give him license to stop working. H.H. Swamiji entreats each individual who is able to help others, to unfold their hands and pitch-in, saying “working hands have greater value than folded hands…”
