about

My song "The Peace Formula" has been getting attention in the media. Although a recent reviewer from Music Dish really loves my song, he describes our peace formula as "somewhat crazy." Upon hearing his objection we can thoughtfully analyze if our peace formula is indeed crazy or not, and why or why not it is crazy.

Our peace formula is Krishna's peace formula given in the ancient book of wisdom, Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 5, Text 29:

bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ
sarva-loka-maheśvaram
suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati

"A person in full consciousness of Me, knowing Me to be the ultimate beneficiary of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods, and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living entities, attains peace from the pangs of material miseries."

In other words, peace can be attained both individually and collectively as soon as we acknowledge that person who is the supreme enjoyer, the supreme owner, and supreme friend. This is really just common sense. When the parts of body co-operate to feed the stomach, they all become properly nourished. And if the bodily parts do not co-operate to feed the stomach, they all will suffer, and in few days the body will die. This is the status of the present day world civilization, which is now tottering on the edge of a complete breakdown of the social structure into total anarchy.

The Peace Formula
© 2015 by Sankarshan Das Adhikari. All rights reserved.

Our world has become an unspeakable nightmare.
Peace is destroyed replaced by brutal warfare.
All hell is breaking loose on this planet right now,
And for stopping it the leaders have no idea how.

But here is the peace formula. Please take it my friends.
Please take it. You'll see. It will not fail.
Here is the peace formula. Please take it, my friends.
Please take it. Surely peace will prevail.

We come into this world possessing nothing.
And we leave from this world with absolutely nothing.
But in the middle we fight and kill claiming this is mine.
Ignoring the real owner who reclaims everything in time.

Yes, Here is the peace formula. Please take it my friends.
Please take it. You'll see. It will not fail.
Here is the peace formula. Please take it, my friends.
Please take it. Surely peace will prevail.

Now listen here all of you world leaders.
If you want real peace, this you must now understand.
There's a Supreme Proprietor to whom everything belongs.
What you think is yours is just now slipping through your hands.
Acknowledge that Supreme Owner, Enjoyer, and Friend.
Peace will come and this turmoil will completely end.

Yes, Here is the peace formula. Please take it my friends.
Please take it. You'll see. It will not fail.
Here is the peace formula. Please take it, my friends.
Please take it. Surely peace will prevail.
Please take it. Worldwide peace will prevail.
