Swamiji plants a peace tree in Linz, Austria
A city's declaration of peace and a community's symbolic act converge. Vienna was declared a city of peace, obligating its council to uphold this principle in local politics. Separately, a yoga community plants a tree as a symbol of peace's gift and challenge. A Catholic priest blesses the tree, conveying wishes from an absent pastor, and affirms the location's suitability for this peace tree.
"the city council of Vienna acknowledges the moral and political obligation to embrace the people’s longing for peace"
"It should point to the gift and the challenge of peace."
