Swamiji Rings The World Peace Bell

Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda is founder of Yoga in Daily Life system.

In recognition of the International Day of Peace and in celebration of Peace Week in Los Angeles, the United Nations Association of California invited visiting spiritual luminary, His Holiness Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda to partake in the annual ceremony of the official ringing of the World Peace Bell.

The World Peace Bell is an internationally recognized symbol of world peace. The bell is cast from coins and medals donated by 103 countries and represents a common bond among the nations of the world.

The World Peace Bell Association, based in Tokyo, Japan, works closely with the United Nations in an effort to develop friendly relations among nations and raise awareness about the importance of international cooperation.

The goal of the Association is to provide a World Peace Bell to all nations of the world in order to promote a worldwide synergy of peace and understanding that will safeguard the futures of the world's children.

The World Peace Bell is rung annually on the opening of the General Assembly in a prayer for world peace.

This World Peace Bell is dedicated to the people and the City of Los Angeles as a lasting tribute to the commitment of world peace and international understanding.
