18th May, 2009. His Holiness planted a "World Peace Mammut Tree" in Linz, the capital of the Federal Province Upper Austria. In a beautiful ceremony in the presence of Town Councillor Mrs. Susanne Wegscheider and 1st Secretary of the Indian Embassy at Vienna, Mr. Aggarwal, Swamiji planted the tree in the park in front of the new central railway station. Hans Wuehrer, Catholic parish priest, bestowed the blessing and Swamiji recited the peace mantra "Asato ma sad gamaya". In their addresses the Councillor Wegscheider, Parish Priest Wuehrer and Swamiji reminded all of the importance of raising awareness about human's unity with God and nature - that "God breathes in every living being, humans, animals, trees and plants" - and encouraged all to work together for peace, harmony and understanding. In conclusion of the ceremony, all sang together the prayer of St. Francis: "Lord, make me a channel of Thy Peace".
