The first speaker in the afternoon session is Dr. Satwishanthi Mishra. Dr. Mishra is a sannyāsin, a yoga monk. She has taken part in a number of international conferences on peace, including the World Peace Forum in Vienna, the predecessor to this conference last year, and the International Women's Spiritual Leaders Conference. She has been a disciple of Swāmījī and a worker for Yoga in Daily Life for 25 years. Prashar was founded in Austria Hospital in Rajasthan, India, serving the underprivileged. She is a humanitarian worker of great number and fame, and I ask you to welcome her, Dr. Satwishanthi. Dear brothers and sisters, let me just say a few words. Shanti, this is my name, and it means peace. We cannot have peace without power. And this power, we must decide for it. We came once from the union, from the divine consciousness, and we raised this earth and divided it into two parts, the female and the masculine power. And I think in this time, the masculine power is very much, and the female power is too little. And that's why I use this now, this moment, to ask all of you, please, let the mother principle grow more and more in these days. Let it be the woman taking the power also, not only the men. Because the men are deciding for war, and the women are the victims. And that's why we should create in the man itself his woman abilities. Also in the man, the masculine, you should develop love. And the woman, as a woman, they should develop more power, that they are more developed and can take the power of peace in their hands.
