With this opportunity, I would like to present you with a memorial medal of our city. It symbolizes the most beautiful part of our history—our castle, where we are now. Please allow me to give you this memorial coin, which bears the image of the castle, the symbol of our city. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. Dear friends, please allow me to welcome you to our beautiful Park of Peace in Humenné. We are very happy that Mr. Swāmījī visited our city and that we have the opportunity today to be together with a man who is a spreader of humanity, tolerance, and peace. We are very happy that together with Mr. Swāmījī we can now plant the peace tree, which is a symbol of friendship and a symbol of the Slavic nation, in our park. I am very happy that you all have come to this important event. I am sure we will take care of this tree so that it will represent its meaning, its symbol. And now I will ask Swāmījī that we together will plant it. We plant the tree. The five times five elements. So first of all, I respect the mayor of the city. Dear brothers and sisters, this morning the sun rose with brilliant light, with the message of peace, happiness, health, and love, that we are here in this beautiful castle, in Humenné, and in the park of peace. There was something missing—like a jewel in the crown. And that is what we have now produced. That jewel is this tree of peace. May this tree remain here. And repeat your wish; it should come true. You can put a small thread on it on the occasion of a wedding, wishing that your married life remains long, healthy, and happy. I pray for your health. So this tree stands as a symbol of peace. It means that Slovakia stands here for mutual understanding, for love. With this, I will chant, and you can chant with us, the peace mantra. They are written from the first scripture of mankind, which is thousands of years old—the Vedas and Upaniṣads. So many of you are yoga friends here. You know, then you can chant with me. First, we will chant Oṃ. Sound is the first. Then there is the light. Then there is the energy in the form of the water. And then the soil. Oṃ Sarveśāṃ Svastir Bhavatu Sarveśāṃ Śāntir Bhavatu Sarveśāṃ Pūrṇaṃ Bhavatu Sarveśāṃ Maṅgalaṃ Bhavatu Oṃ Asato Mā Sadgamaya Tamaso Mā Jyotirgamaya Mṛtyor Mā Amṛtaṃ Gamaya Oṃ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ Merciful Lord, lead us from unreality to reality. Lead us from the darkness to the light. Bless us with peace, love, harmony, and good health. Oṃ, peace, peace, peace. From this, we give the water of life. Oṃ Tryambakaṃ Yajāmahe Sugandhiṃ Puṣṭi Vardhanam Thank you. All the best.
