Update: Houston, TX: Mayor of Houston declared May 2, 2009 as Walk for Values Day.Friends and members of the Sathya Sai Organization are pleased to invite you to join us in Walk for Values USA 2009. You will be joining citizens from all walks of life who are stepping out in unity under the banners of truth, right conduct, love, nonviolence, and peace in several cities across the nation. It is a unique opportunity to celebrate human values and their practice in every aspect of our American way of life. Walk for Values USA is different from other walks because it is not a fund-raiser, protest, rally, or demonstration. Instead, it seeks simply to raise awareness, and it is open to everyone free of charge. Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love, and Nonviolence are the human values that shape the way we think, feel, and behave. When these values are not expressed, the result is anger, distrust, fear, suffering, disrespect, crime, corporate greed, environmental degradation, and violence. When they are expressed, the result is kindness, compassion, honesty, empathy, tolerance, generosity, forgiveness and a sense of security. These human values are universal and transcend the barriers of race, religion, culture, and ethnicity. They are the pillars of every society. We can make a difference. Those of us who long for a more caring and kinder world can walk together as like-minded people and achieve two things: we can raise awareness of positive human values such as truth, right-conduct, love, nonviolence and peace; and more importantly, we can bring attention to the urgent need to practice them. As Nelson Mandela said, "The construction of that house of peace needs my hand. It needs your hand."
