Dedication of the second Peace Altar during the 50th anniversary of the U.N. - 1995

The second table, built to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations in 1995, was made from the same monumental black walnut tree as the first and blessed at the same Cathedral. After serving its mission as a unifying presence at The Hague Appeal for Peace in May of 1999, it now resides in the newly renovated Russian Academy of Art in Moscow to help inspire peace in the new millennium.

Dedication of the third Peace Altar in Auroville, India - 1996

A third table, built and sent to India in 1996, has found a permanent home in the "City of Peace" Auroville, India, which sprang from the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, where George Nakashima was once a disciple.

We are in the process of finding a permanent Hall of Peace in the as yet incomplete Unity Pavilion in Auroville. Donations for this venue should be sent to AVI USA, P.O. Box 1534, Lodi, CA 95241.
