Global Ambassador of Peacebuilding and Faith Commonwealth award conferred on Daaji

Daaji, guide of Heartfulness and president of  Ram Chandra Mission, has been conferred with the honour of ‘Global Ambassador of Peacebuilding and Faith in the Commonwealth’ by Vice-President of India, Jagdeep Dhankhad and Commonwealth Secretary General, Patricia Scotland at Kanha Shanti Vanam during the Global Spirituality Summit on Sunday.
Bestowing the title of Global Ambassador of Peace-building and Faith in the Commonwealth upon Daaji, Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland appreciated the transformation that Daaji brought to Kanha Shanti Vanam with the greening projects and how he has billions of lives around the world. She said, “Daaji’s vision, ingenuity and labour have transformed what was once a harsh depleted land with lush green rainforest thriving with endangered species, organic parks and medicinal plants. It is harmony with nature.”
Jagdeep Dhankhar said, “It is a well-earned, well-deserved recognition in the right quarter. Congratulations to Daaji. India is 60 per cent of the Commonwealth in terms of population, knowledge and wisdom. There was a time when iconic status was granted on parameters that are baffling beyond any rational. Times have changed. Our civilian awards that are conferred are based on objective parameters. Daaji received the Padma Bhushan. But it is the greatest award conferred by the people calling him ‘Daaji’.”
