The 4th annual Ekam World Peace Festival was inaugurated this evening with nearly 20 million people from all cultures and nationalities who came together to meditate for world peace.

In this internal festival, thousands of organisations, companies, educational groups, institutions, villages, and scores of individuals from across 300 cities and 100 countries participated live-streamed from Ekam.

Ekam Kshetra, situated near Tirupati, Tada Andhra Pradesh, has been created by *Sri Preethaji & Sri Krishnaji, enlightened mystics, philosophers, and visionaries behind the Ekam World Peace Festival.

In the three-day festival focused on world peace, Sri Preethaji & Sri Krishnaji said, "Peace is either for all of us or none of us."*

Addressing the economic unrest worldwide, Sri Krishnaji said, "Conscious Creation of wealth is necessary for sustained well-being, of both the family and society.

When new sustainable world economies emerge where there is oneness with our earth, consumers, employees, and families, then naturally, there's economic well-being.

On the inaugural day of the Ekam World Peace Festival, Sri Krishnaji interacted with Dr. Joe Dispenza, who led extensive research on the impact of meditation on the human body and brain. He is renowned for his findings in the field of epigenetics and quantum physics.

Dr. Dispenza said that when people come together for one reason, and that is for the greatest good of humanity, independent of colour, culture, language, and beliefs, we will see wholeness and the oneness of life which will solve our larger problems of the world such as economic unrest, domestic distress and more.

Sri Preethaji, co-creator of Ekam, joined the millions gathered online and led everyone into a peace meditation for economic dignity for all people.

Ekam also announced that Day 2 of the festival is for the peace intention to heal the division in the world.
