Anand Krishna, founder of Anand Ashram Foundation, believes that World Peace can only be achieved if it starts from within ourselves and our family. Therefore, on Peace One Day this year, he makes an appeal of non-violence in any kinds of form by applying several practical things that we can practice in our daily life, such as Do not Yell to others; Do not fight with others; Do not hurt anybody starting from our closest person; Love ourselves; and Forgive anybody who has ever been in differences to us.

By continously practicing non-violence principles starting from ourselves in daily life, a true peace of our societies, nations, and the whole world living together in One Earth, under One Sky and One Humankind will not only just a dream, but a reality.
