"Om Shanti" is about the view of great politicians like John F. Kennedy and Mahatma Gandhi on peace, "Kingdom of Peace" is about the individual view of peace, about what each individual in this world can do himself to contribute to peace in the world - regardless of what a politician decides. Gijun Sugitaní, the chairman of Religions for Peace in Japan, says that peace means that peoples can live in dignity and justice, that they respect each other. The true meaning of peace can also have to do with religion. It is possible to feel, even within oneself, the value of peace. Oya and Kirsten talk about their own perception of the word "peace". The film also takes us to a special place dedicated to world peace - the "Lake Shrine" in Pacific Palisades, California, USA. There is the first monument in the world outside India dedicated to the spiritual and political leader of the Indian independence movement - Mahatma Gandhi. This place belongs to the Self-Realization Fellowship. The founder of this organization - Paramahansa Yogananda - explains the importance of world peace and unity of all religions. Written by
