My friend sent me a link to peace.tv and I found this short video of Prem Rawat speaking on the topic of peace. Enjoy.

new paintings by B.Rossitto

I've been trying to get some new paintings ready for a show at Jerram Winery in August, so I haven't been posting too much lately, so here are my latest works hot off the easel. I added some more color to the sky and some more details, and my signature.

Did you ever feel desperate for peace?

I would love to share this video with you, if you have ever felt desperate for peace, or just would like to find out how to get in touch with that feeling WHEN YOU WANT TO, then check out Prem Rawat's videos.

I have been studying with him for a very long time, and I have found that he is always genuine, always sincere, and he has been working non-stop for peace since he was a little boy.
