In Sao Paulo, Brazil, the Words of Peace television series had been airing for over ten years reaching over 10 million homes in the city of Sao Paulo and over 40 million homes in all of Brazil. To celebrate this milestone in 2013, Fernando Mauro Trezza, President of the Brazilian Association of Community Channels, sat down with Prem Rawat to ask him about his work, his message and why peace matters.
Fernando Mauro Trezza: "For many people today, peace seems to be a boring subject. Can this perspective be changed?"
Prem Rawat: "Of course, because they're coming from a concept of what peace is. They're not coming from the need. They have to feel the need."

About 46 miles south of Johannesburg, South Africa, is the township of Sebokeng, where Prem Rawat addressed an audience on December 9, 2016. Sebokeng continues to deal with the poverty and racial tension that persist in the prolonged aftermath of Apartheid. As news reports that gang violence is escalating and spreading, there is another story to be told. People in Sebokeng who are passionate about peace are on the rise, listening to the message of Prem Rawat. In the video of this event, he tells them, “You have to feel peace. Not think about peace. Because peace is not about thinking—peace is about seeing, knowing, feeling!” For a man struggling with his identity, who calls himself “the Prince of Suffering,” Prem demonstrates that only a lit candle can light unlit candles, and encourages him to discover the power of being a lit candle.

To be human is the highest achievement a human can achieve. As simple as that—to be human. Now what does it mean to be human? Does it mean to tolerate mistakes?! Because that’s how we look at it: “Oh—just being human.”...
