Organic Origin of the Vow of Ahimsa
Cultivate harmony in your thoughts, your speech and your actions

Your Vow of Ahimsa has a profound impact on the cosmic psyche of peace.

We must stop the bleeding. We must stop the hurting. We must stop
the killing. We must become the light we strive for.

--Mother Maya

Mother Maya's extraordinary work on Living Ahimsa—The Power of Peace throughout the world has been touching and healing thousands of lives. Since Mother Maya’s inauguration of this pioneering work following September 11, 2001 she has personally guided more than 135,000 participants into the Vow of Ahimsa~ the individual commitment to inner-harmony, health and world peace.

The Vow of Ahimsa means many things to many people. For the Vedic Seers, and Hinduism, ahimsa is an everyday way of life. The vast Vedic tomes on meditation, yoga, holistic medicine, physics, astronomy, architecture, and so on, are all rooted in the universal law of ahimsa. For Mahatma Gandhi, it was to implement civil disobedience (satyagraha - holding firm to the truth) in defiance of British imperial law in India.  His path of ahimsa assumed courageous, yet simple forms (such as a nation harvesting salt from the sea). He demonstrated that the spirit of ahimsa can ultimately win all battles.
