World Peace Agenda English 2007

This book presents Shanti Parva's peace messages for consideration by everyone else. With the hope that plenty of purposeful discussion (with an open mind) will be held to arrive at new proposals which can help bring world peace within the reach of humankind in the twenty first century. Readers will discover that the peace promoting messages of Shanti Parva (when suitably interpreted) have universal appeal even today. These messages envisage the launching of a new peace initiative, based on the explicit declaration of the Mahabharata verse 12.94.1 that says "wars cannot provide a satisfactory solution to any dispute" and incorporate several novel features which are summarized in the last chapter of this book.
