There are many testaments to the powerful effects of collective meditation/prayer. We would like to share a few here for inspiration. If you have a testimonial that you would like to share, please contact PEDI.

• The “Silent Minute” is a historic example of the victory of this effort. The concept of the “Silent Minute” each day was developed in Britain in World War II. People were asked to devote one minute of prayer for peace at nine o’clock each evening. This dedicated minute received the support of King George, Sir Winston Churchill and his Cabinet. It was also recognized by President Roosevelt and observed on land and at sea on the battlefields, in air raid shelters and in hospitals. With Churchill’s support, the BBC, on Sunday, November 10, 1940, began to play the bells of Big Ben on the radio as a signal for the Silent Minute. This continued daily from 1942 to the end of the war, totaling millions of people.
  
  An interesting anecdote emphasizes the profound power of the group meditation of the Silent Minute. In 1945, a British intelligence officer was interrogating a high Nazi official. He asked him why he thought Germany lost the war. His reply was, “During the war, you had a secret weapon for which we could find no counter measure, which we did not understand, but it was very powerful. It was associated with the striking of the Big Ben each evening. I believe you called it the ‘Silent Minute.’”
  

• It has long been known that electromagnetic fields in nature can affect barometric pressure, and that the electromagnetic fields of humans in group prayer can create rain or tornadoes. Once, with Swami Muktananda in South Fallsburg, NY there was a concern about a drought in Texas. The group, including PEDI Founder, Gabriel, meditated for it to rain in Texas. Well, first it rained on them, which was not exactly what was expected, and then it rained the next day in Texas. We can create rain--we can create a reign of peace.
