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, in my speech and in my actions. In order to help me accomplish this I commit myself to bringing into constant fruition my art and to developing my career as an artist, which I know keeps me happy and feeling I am fully living my life`s purpose. I now embrace my talent. I am now deeply in tune with my talent through a constant flow of creativity. My paintings are a testimony of my faith in and commitment to this gift that I have been given which gives me great happiness and peace of mind. Through my art I express my joy and love for life. Through painting as my profession I share my love, joy and peace with the world. I know that the more I develop my talent with love, faith and commitment I am more and more at peace and happier. Since I am in touch with my True Self I am at peace with the world. I thus radiate happiness, peace and love all around me. May there be peace, harmony, laughter and love in the whole world.
Thank-you Dr Chopra for this opportunity to send this out to the world and the Universe and for the positive energies this vow will bring into my life, to the world and Universe.
With Love and Peace,
Andrea

Mr. Chorpa, you have combined so many beautiful aspects of life into a single, well-defined strand of knowledge – you are somebody I look up to. Knowledge, passion, health, spirituality, love, an undying quest to deepen one’s understanding of the world, and calm enjoyment of the journey…
Thank you.
Sincerely.
