Global
Prosperity and Peace Initiative was launched at the Second World Parliament on
Spirituality November 17 – 20, 2016, in
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, with the central mission to promote peace
and prosperity in the world which will be fostered with its Master Action Plan
(a Prosperity and Peace MAP) that will be implemented in 196 nations with the
support of a carefully selected vibrant team who will help implement the
Initiative by collaborating with individuals, local leaders, organizations,
businesses, schools, parents, etc., in all the target countries. One salient
undertone in the founding of GPI is that without peace there cannot be
development and prosperity in the human society.
Globally,
human security situation remains fluid and volatile with a deep lack of sense
of community ignited by deep-seated differences over history, political and
economic systems, ethnicity, religion, and cultural traditions that have
prevented the diverse societies of the world from seeking a unified and shared
destiny.
However,
and fortunately, the realization that future peace and prosperity lies in
community-building and integration is spreading around the world as
institutions, organizations and individuals are waking up to this stark
reality.
This
new trend holds the seeds for the development of effective and action-oriented
measures that can make a real difference on issues of peace, security and human
prosperity. This makes the mission and mandate of GPPI very vital, strategic
and highly invaluable for our present times.
Increasing
love, prosperity, and peace begins in each individual person’s heart. It
requires that we each try to live our best lives; striving to excel in all
areas of our lives. Therefore, as the foundation of our Initiative we teach
Total Life Excellence. These are 7 comprehensive programs to strengthen people
mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually, financially, and in
all their relationships.
Thus,
Global Prosperity and Peace Initiative is being undertaken to ensure that a
phenomenal peace is realized for our global family. On the strength of this, the organization
proposes that in all its target 196 countries of the world, a group of
peace-creating experts will be selected to ensure that every nation will enjoy
peace and progress locally, which is being undertaken to purify societal
awareness so that problems that disturb local and global peace would be
eliminated.
.As
it has become widely observable that progress on the development front cannot
be if peace and stability are not ensured and sustained, and vice versa thus
gaining significant importance in the global debate, including in the context
of the post-2015 global development agenda Therefore, the quest for peace for
the attainment of human prosperity has been at the core of the agenda of the
world’s governing body, the United Nations and embedded in the Sustainable
Development Goals (STG).
The
70th anniversary year of the United Nations saw bold new agreements from member
states to “foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are free from
fear and violence” and to “bring sustained international attention to
sustaining peace”.
Thus,
as an organization devoted to the building of peace and progress around the
world, Global Prosperity and Peace in its mission and mandate largely embraces
global framework for fostering peace around the world with commitment to
becoming the standard of peace and prosperity building-excellence.
