One Voice Day 2024 – July 26, 2024

History of One Voice Day

One Voice Day is celebrated every year on July 26. It was created in 1996 and the idea was to read the Universal Peace Covenant every year on December 31, however, the date was later changed to July 26. The document is important for people of all ages because it defines how we all can think peacefully and how an attitude of peace can be adopted in the forever-changing world. It is during this time that all the different voices in the world become one. The Universal Peace Covenant was created by students in the School of Metaphysics.The concept of peace, however, has existed for centuries. For instance, peace is the core teaching of various great religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. In fact, peace was taught by renowned leaders that are still recognized on a global scale. This includes individuals like Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Gandhi also introduced a theory called Satyagraha, according to which it was contradictory to use violence to obtain peace. While many countries still struggle for peace, Sweden and Switzerland are an example of how the task can be achieved if enough effort is put into the cause by a country’s leaders. Peace and neutrality among states have been observed in Sweden since 1814. Similarly, Switzerland has had an official policy of neutrality since 1815. Moreover, the modern world has also introduced the academic field of Peace and Conflict Studies in order to reduce the chances of war. Will our future generations reap the fruits of our efforts in working towards achieving global peace?This is a global event where people of various nationalities collaborate to promote world peace. In today’s world, it has become crucial to participate in activities to prevent violence and hatred against different nations and communities. World peace can be easily achieved when different countries support each other and respect one another’s customs, beliefs, and religious practices. With continuous technological advancements in the field of science and technology, it has become easier to develop powerful weapons and ammunition, which increases the risks of war and conflict between countries. The main idea behind celebrating One Voice Day is to unite different countries on a single platform by reading the Universal Peace Covenant. Thousands of people participate in this global event and pledge to promote world peace. The peace covenant can be read in different languages and people of all ages read the covenant, irrespective of their race and social backgrounds. Change is inevitable. No one can predict the future. Therefore, the best way to live your life to the fullest is by spending every moment showing love and caring for others. No matter how tough your life may be, simply knowing how to respect the ideas, beliefs, and customs of other communities can make a huge difference.
