Founder’s Calling –
Her Message to the World
“Who is a peace warrior? What is a peace warrior? You, I, each one of us can be a peace warrior. If we choose to speak up at the right time, if we choose to act when needed, if we build the right thought mindset, if we fill our hearts with love and compassion, then we are a peace warrior.

I want to facilitate this. I think it is the need of the hour. I think our world needs it. I have this calling and I receive this calling. I want you to receive it too. I want you to connect with me and feel it. I want you to bring your calling as well. You are a peace warrior as much as I am.

“Eagerness to serve, a heart full of love flowing with compassion, just eager to serve. That is all we need. That is what our world needs today. In giving is receiving. As you give others you receive even more, and the joy multiplies. If you have ever tasted it, you are just going to keep on going. Once you taste the magic of giving and receiving, the minute you tap that energy, you will never be able to turn back. Never, ever. And I am here to facilitate the transmission of this energy of compassion, of giving back. To allow as many people in our world to tap their Peace Warrior Spirit and bring it to action.
I am as ordinary as you are, and I am as extraordinary as you are.”– Sonali S. Namiranian.

The Peace Warrior Spirit
The peace warrior spirit is in essence humanity in action. It is all about embracing and rekindling our true humanness, our innate ability to be compassionate, to allow for uninhibited human connections and most importantly taking control of our day-to-day actions through which we can accelerate our evolutionary engine and keep it going.
TPW chooses to speak up at the right time, chooses to take action when needed and most importantly TPW works diligently to build the right thought mindset. TPW looks at all others with an eye of equality and oneness, a sense of connectedness at the highest level of being and in doing so, TPW’s heart becomes full of love and compassion. TPW cares for one and all, feels the happiness and pain of others and through his or her thoughts, words and actions wants to make a positive impact in our world. TPW is grateful and realizes his or her blessings and thus wants to give back.
To realize that each one of us has the potential to shine our absolute best and to choose to shine versus succumb is the peace warrior spirit.
It is the sheer eagerness to serve, to allow our hearts to fill with love and compassion – to tap into the magic of giving and receiving. It is the transmission of this energy of compassion, of giving back.
TPW organization wants to facilitate the peace warrior spirit. We think it is the need of the hour. We think our world needs it. It is our sincere effort to take up as many social and humanitarian causes and to help inculcate and spread the peace warrior spirit and thus positively impact and touch as many lives in our world. To allow as many people in this world to tap their Peace Warrior Spirit and bring it to action – through our thoughts, words and actions we will tap the extraordinary in each one of us, while helping others and doing what is right – this is the spirit we choose to carry.
The Peace Warrior Movement
As we design our tomorrow, let us ensure that compassion runs in our DNA and in the DNA of our next generations on autopilot. Let us create such a thunder, a roar that it sets in as a second nature. Come out, let humanity feel the roar and thunder of this movement. Together we will bring about transformations of the heart through service to each other, service to humanity, service to all earthlings and service to a collective greater good. The fruit of which will be reaped by us in the form of a healthier and more thriving world and a legacy for our future generations.
With that we introduce you to the emblem of the peace warrior. It is a warrior’s shield, with 4 symbols on it:
- Heart
- Microphone
- Pen
- Lightning bolt
The Significance of each symbol.
Heart
Represents a heart full of love and compassion. We will make transformations of the heart through our works; we are looking beyond peace and non-violence. We aspire to tap the peace warrior spirit in anyone who is touched by us or our works. We will be instrumental in the spread of The Peace Warrior Spirit this wave of compassion, the joy of giving and the priceless receiving through giving, positive transformations, meaningful impact and more. We will take up as many social and humanitarian causes to spread the joy of giving, while uplifting those who are less fortunate than us.
Microphone
The second thing here is the microphone. Our voice, our good voice. We can do so much with our good voice, to stop and speak up when something wrong is happening. To encourage when something good is happening, that is the good voice. The microphone in today’s day and age of a flattened world. We will utilize the internet, social media platforms, live events and so on to spread the awareness of the peace warrior spirit, through love and compassion we can impact our world in the most beautiful of ways. We will speak and broadcast meaningful content. Let the children hear it, let the adults hear it, let the youth hear it. So that is a huge and meaningful impact that would facilitate the spread and awareness of compassion. Anyone who is touched by the good voices we speak, and broadcast is automatically also touched by this wave of compassion and need to give back and impact.
Pen
We know is mightier than the sword. We will use the medium of creative expression via meaningful books, literary works, utilizing modern day platforms to spread the peace warrior spirit , through love and compassion we can impact our world in the most beautiful of ways. We will write meaningful, inspiring, and transformational content. Let the children read them, let the adults read them, let the youth read them. So that is a huge and meaningful impact that would facilitate the spread and awareness of compassion. Anyone who is touched by the books and content we write is automatically also touched by this wave of compassion and need to give back and impact.
Lightning
Lightning represents lightning or jolt(s) of lightning. The peace warrior spirit and our actions will have an instant transformation of the heart as if struck by lightning. To bring about transformations is represented as “having a lightening effect”.
Through this movement, we are going to facilitate a better world, remember each intention and each action counts, our collective actions will bring waves of transformations. Let us enlighten ourselves, empower ourselves, evolve ourselves while helping others and do what is right.
