800 policemen meditated for peace and love on the tunes of Rubab. Where there are cases like Salahuddin of serious misconducts from police, there are also the majority of them who are working for peace. News keep popping up every now and then about police failing the citizens. It is so heart wrenching that the peacekeepers go against their oath and commit serious crimes. But, behind the curtain of negative face of police, there are thousands of stories of them sacrificing every day for the people and we as a society have failed to acknowledge it even once. Especially, now when the police department is trying so hard to fulfil their duties. We should be empathetic to the people who are on call day and night to counter crimes and ensure our safety. In this regard, one of our Salamti Fellows Laila Kiran conducted a mass meditation and peace talk session in National Police Academy, Rawat. The session targeted the young Police personnel who are under training in Police academy. The evening included peace talks focusing on the importance of being empathetic and showing a compassionate behavior. Young trainees were also being taught about carrying the nondiscriminatory attitude with others regardless of their caste, color, religion or ethnicity. Further the activity included meditation session where the peacekeepers were introduced to inner peace so they can better maintain peace outside. The meditation was held in open ground during full moon night in order to connect with the universal vibes and to help them embrace the natural capacity and positive intuitions.
