In the shadows of post 9-11 world-one in which the words terror, war, and calamity are a part of our daily vocabulary-one question looms larger than life: Is peace possible?
"Yes!" insists spiritual visionary and humanitarian Dada J. P. Vaswani in Peace or Perish: There is No Other Choice, an optimistic manifesto for building a more harmonious and peaceful world amidst unpredictable times. "Peace may be fragile and vulnerable-but peace is possible, and peace is attainable, even in a turbulent world like ours."
Here is a practical blueprint for an authentic peace, a long-lasting peace, a worldwide peace-and, it begins with you, the individual!
Leaning on the world's great religious, literary, and spiritual traditions for inspiration, Dada J. P. Vaswani's Peace or Perish makes the compelling argument that the building blocks of peace are rooted in three s of peace-peace within, between nations, and peace with nature.
"Peace is your birthright," declares one of India's leading spiritual luminaries in this seminal work. Through thoughtful anecdotes and an encouraging voice, a contemporary beacon of universal brotherhood offers practical stepping stones to help you attain peace-and challenges you to walk the path. It's an irresistible invitation; one that you won't want to pass up.

DADA J. P. VASWANI is the author of over 80 books, including the bestselling Daily Appointment with God and Why Do Good People Suffer? which have been translated into various foreign languages. One of contemporary India's most esteemed nonsectarian spiritual leaders and the spiritual head of the Sadhu Vaswani Mission, he has been a tireless advocate for animal rights and non- violence for the past 40 years.
Dada (as he is known to his admirers and followers) has held audience with prominent world leaders, including the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, and Pope John Paul II. His messages of global harmony and peace have captivated audiences at international gatherings such as the World Parliament of Religions, the House of Commons, and the United Nations Millennium World Peace Summit. He lives in Pune, India.

"Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed."... So begins the Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). And it goes on to acknowledge, quite openly, that a peace that is based exclusively on economic or political arrangements among governments will not last-that individual people must also find common ground if we are to build the kind of world we all aspire to.
And it is to the minds of men and women that Dada J.P Vaswani appeals. He seeks to inspire us by posing bare-faced the kind of questions that often lay buried beneath the surfaces of our busy lives-philosophers' questions, about why we are as we are, and about what it is in life itself that helps or hinders us as we strive for peace and happiness and contentment. And he offers his insights in language that any sincere seeker will be able to follow.
I have spent a great deal of my professional life urging governments to work together to achieve the very political and economic agreements that underpin a better world. And I am convinced that these agreements are essential for world peace.
