Planting of peace tree in Vienna

A tree symbolizes our return to living in harmony with nature. We have become separate from the natural world. Seeing people embrace natural ways is heartening. Planting a tree is like giving birth to a child; it stays with you always. May this tree stand as a symbol of everlasting peace among all peoples. May those who come under it find harmony of body, mind, and soul. May they realize eternal peace.

"Planting one tree is like giving birth to a child."

"I wish that this tree stands here as a symbol of everlasting peace."

Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The years have turned us away from nature in many ways, and we have started living separately from it. When I see people returning to the natural ways of life, it is heartening—and the tree is the symbol of that natural way. In India, we say planting one tree is like giving birth to a child, because it is something which stays with you always. This is a wonderful opportunity. I thank Swāmījī for having done this, and I thank all of you here. I wish that this tree stands here as a symbol of everlasting peace among religions, cultures, and nations. I pray to the Almighty that those who come under this tree may find harmony of body, mind, and soul and realize eternal peace. Thank you, everybody.
