You don’t have to make a machine that removes darkness, because darkness in itself is nothing. Bring light, and darkness will go away. Bring joy, and pain will go away. Bring clarity, and doubts will go away."Prem Rawat
A Message from Mercy CorpsThe following message was sent by Mercy Corps to over 300,000 members of TPRF's Cause: TPRF: Food for People: Mercy Corps is very excited to be partnering with TPRF and the members of this Cause (TPRF: TPRF: Food for People Cause within Facebook), whose enthusiasm and engagement have made this one of the most successful of all Causes. Mercy Corps and TPRF share a wide range of common values, including the acknowledgement that peace is a human need as basic as food and water. Now the spirit behind TPRF's Food for People program is fueling our joint effort |
Peace Is:
As Essential as Air
Peace is not a luxury. Peace is as important as breathing air, as eating food, as having shelter, because it is the fundamental necessity of every heart.
We have forgotten the individuality of a person, what that person needs. Besides all the other things that the world is ready to dish out to them, there is also peace. How much is spent on war, and how much is spent on peace? I don’t think even a half of one percent is spent on peace, while billions and billions are spent just on preparing for war.
Peace is not a new concept by any stretch of the imagination. As long as there have been wars, there has been a voice that has called out again and again for peace—peace as experienced by every individual. That is real peace.

TPRF-Sponsored Golf TournamentThe first TPRF-sponsored benefit golf tournament, dinner and concert took place in August, on the Sunday following a two-day event with Prem Rawat in Los Angeles. People had come from all around the world to the event celebrating the 40th anniversary of Prem Rawat’s arrival in the West. Many were happy to spend an extra day in Southern California to attend the tournament and/or dinner supporting the work of TPRF. The tournament was held at the Malibu Golf Club, a country-club-style course set against a backdrop of the rolling Santa Monica Mountains. | Nomads in Niger, One Year LaterAbout a year ago, TPRF made a grant in response to a food crisis in Sahel, a semi-arid area near the Sahara Desert, in the West African country of Niger. TPRF’s partner was Rain for the Sahel and Sahara (RAIN), and their recent report on the difference this support has made for people of the area is both informative and heartwarming. Sahel was once a flourishing crossroads for many cultures, where traders from Europe and the Middle East exchanged goods and ideas. |
