Life turns into a wasted 'commodity' if not used for a meaningful and purposeful mission.

It was with this point as mission in mind that 18 Buddhist monks, led by Bhikkhu Panakara, staged an amazing peace-walk, over 2,703 km, in 108 days, and melted the hearts of millions across the globe.

Their mission: To help   bring this war-torn world of ours into a peaceful mode by creating a sense of awareness that wars have never been any means to achieve peace and harmony.

Starting from Texas and ending up their mission successfully in Washington, after 108 tiring days, with great challenges on the way, braving rains and storms, the monks’ mission-peace has not only moved the hearts of millions but was also quite effective in sending out a soulful message to those leaders of the world who have lost their 'mental balance' and have turned  our Mother Earth into a dangerous 'war zone',  killing or affecting the lives of thousands of innocent people every day.

What was interesting and greatly noticeable was the loyal, faithful and wonderful Aloka the dog who could very easily understand the immediate need for a peaceful world, and travelled all the way from India to the US to make his bid towards ending wars in several regions across the globe.

Thousands of people came out to support the monks and darling Aloka, every day at many spots on the way in various cities, some of them crying and others with roses, chocolates and essential commodities to make the monks' peace-march comfortable and successful.

Life is all about peace, harmony in a progressive atmosphere. If we fail in this effort, the very purpose of life goes missionless. And we lose, as human beings, our superiority to all other beings. Therefore, the hardened souls and rusted minds in the form of leaders must turn around and work for love, compassion and peace. They are there as leaders to lead us towards a happier and a progressive world in which everybody can have his/her place to stand up and prove that life is all about a beautiful journey with great responsibilities.
