An Invitation

Ik Onkar Peace Foundation cordially invites you to join the journey of Love in search of bringing peace and Harmony among the Peoples of the World. It is an effort to implement Baba Guru Nanak’s vision of spiritual Unity of this universe. We are beginning this journey from Indus Valley Civilization of Punjab and Sindh by celebrating our Virsa in Lahore on March 9, 10 and 11, 2012.

There will be three days of concerts and workshops in Lahore and five days of Virsa Tour/Pilgrimage in Pakistan. On March 16th we cross the Border, Pay our respects at Sri Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple) and have Virsa Celebrations in Chandigarh on March 16,17 an 18th after which we will go on a seven days Virsa Tour/Pilgrimage in India. The program will end on March 27, 2012. The Virsa Tours are optional. You can get acquainted with the land of Sikh Gurus and Sufi Pirs in the company of kindred spirits at a reasonable cost. Ik Onkar Peace Foundation is an Inter-faith and Inter-generational non-profit organization promoting peace and harmony since 2002.

Music, Poetry and other fine arts which speak to our hearts will bring us together. You will enjoy the cultural heritage of Indus Valley Civilization. We are starting this journey from Punjab and Sindh because it is one of the cradles of civilizations; home to the ancient excavated cities of Harappa & Mohenjo-Daro. It is the land of the great epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. This is where Baba Sheikh Farid, Baba Guru Nanak, Baba Buleh Shah, Waris Shah, Alama Iqbal, Amrita Pritam, Faiz Ahemad Faiz and Shiv Kumar Batalvi, to name a few, nurtured the loving unity of human spirit with their poetry and songs. Immersed in this cultural environment the delegates will meet in small work groups to explore the following questions and share what and who has inspired their life journey to seek peace within themselves and harmony in the world around them.

1. Vision: What would the world look like if peoples of the world lived in friendship and harmony?

2. What has helped and what are still the barriers to achieving your vision?

3. How can we remove these barriers?

4. What we need to do to implement the solutions to removing the barriers?

5. Narrate your life story to your group
