On November 7, 2008, at 9:45 am, I, Deepak Chopra, took a vow of non-violence in my thoughts, in my speech and in my actions. I, then, also had an opportunity to ask the almost 500 people attending the plenary session for the Alliance for a New Humanity in Barcelona if they would join me in this commitment.
I first asked them to close their eyes, put their awareness in their hearts and ask themselves honestly and seriously if they were willing to take a vow.
I told them that a vow is a sacred commitment from which there is no going back. It is like a child that is born, who cannot return to the womb.
I told them if they were ready to take this vow, they should stand up.
People stood up, one by one at first, then in groups of twos and threes, and finally in tidal waves, until more than 450 people had stood up and taken the vow.
Following this, everybody agreed to have at least two people in their lives take the vow. The two in turn, would have two others join them in taking the vow. Our immediate goal now is to get 100 Million people across the world to take this vow. In the meantime, we will be setting up ways to measure and support the dramatic effects this tidal wave of shift in consciousness is going to create.
Are you seriously committed to bringing about a world of peace, harmony, laughter and love by taking this vow and getting two people to join you?
If you are ready, please post a blog here.
Let us know that you have passed on the vow to two friends. And, if you wish tell us your thoughts in the post, we would love to hear them.
Love,
Deepak Chopra
President and Founder of the Alliance For A New Humanity

I take the vow of non violence in my thoughts, speech and action.
I visited this web site yesterday and could not make up my mind about the thought
and speech part.There seems to be so much that is not understandable from a humane
point of view–why people do the things they do.Using bad language seems like the only
way to blow some steam.However from today I will let people be and concentrate on MYSELF.
I take the vow of non-violent communication in my thoughts, speech, and actions.
It’s not an easy vow to take, but in striving to do so it will only make the world
a more peaceful place.
We have changed the human existence in this world as we now know it to be now and forever. Love has been released and it will enlighten us to a place where we started. We shall shine with the gorily of many suns, and sing like a angles choir, we will become one and know only peace. I Vow.
I take the vow.
Here is to a peaceful relationship with the world humanity!
I like the idea of non-violent communications and I would like to take the vow.
I take the vow.
Thank you for this opportunity.
I take the vow.
I have never used violence, and I never will.
I take the vow of peace in my thoughts, speech and actions. To raise my consciousness and to be an example to our children to chose Love in all situations. Thank you Dr. Deepak Chopra.

I will always promote conflict resolution through conversation and by sharing the knowledge and information; We the people should always focus on finding that what unites us rather than that what differentiates us;
I truly believe that in our souls we are ultimately guided by the fundamemtal and universal principles that are the same regardless of religion or culture; Collectively, we can bring peace, respect and love to all of humanity;
I am ready to be a part of the movement for a New Humanity!
