After a long period of drought, heavy monsoon rains have flooded major states across India and displaced thousands of people. The devastation people and animals face is overwhelming. His Holiness Swamiji has issued a call for help for the victims of the flood.

His Holiness Swamiji, the founder of the international movement "Yoga in Daily Life" was making his yearly visit to his disciples in America. After visiting Atlanta and attending a United Nations Conference on sustainable development in New York, he spent four days conducting yoga classes at the Yoga in Daily Life centre in Alexandria, the American headquarters of Yoga in Daily Life, which has branches also in Atlanta and New York.

Since 1981, September 21 is established as the International Day of Peace. Yoga in Daily Life participates as well with various initiatives to involve people in fostering the culture of peace.

The 5th World Peace Summit (titled "The Message of His Holiness Swami Madhavananda & Mahatma Gandhi") took place in Ljubljana/Slovenia (Europe) during October 13th to 15th, 2006. This was one of the most significant and historic international events held this year for World Peace, the Environment, Health and Youth.
