Earlier inaugurating the event along with Sri Krishnaji, Sri Preethaji, the co-creators

of the peace festival said: "The purpose of Ekam festival is to break the primitive division driven mind in millions and awaken them to collective oneness. Peace happens when you realise that our differences are superficial. Peace is either for all of us or none of us," Sri Preethaji said.

Echoing his words Sri Krishnaji explained the concept and philosophy behind "Ekam sat viprahabahuduhaavadhanthi".

"This means that we are a part of one cosmic reality beyond all forms, appearances, races, religious beliefs, biological and emotional inclinations, the one or Ekam. Beyond these differences is the one field of consciousness that animates us all," said Krishnaji."The Ekam World Peace Festival opens you up to this intelligence. We are hopeful that this year's festival will inspire millions across the globe to realise the significance of peace in these chaotic and tough times,"Sri Krishnaji said."An awakened wealth creator is driven by purpose, one that is larger than oneself," Krishnaji added.
