?Birth is the only time in life when you cry and your mother smiles,? someone has so appropriately stated the feelings of the creator towards her creation. The baby may be perceiving physical separation from the womb while actually the mother is eagerly waiting to take the little angel in her arms.Every human being arriving onto this world drama stage has a unique and powerful role to play.   As conscious, aware beings on this planet, each individual constantly makes choices in life that decide and influence the flow of the whole drama on the planet earth. With our thoughts and actions we are constantly creating the stories of our personal life, our families, our communities and our world.  Every life is valuable; every life has a divine purpose.Each family has its own journey brimming with dreams, aspirations,[url=http://www.footlockershop.us@#$%&/Nike-roshe-one-flyknit/]http://www.footlockershop.us@#$%&/Nike-roshe-one-flyknit/[/url], efforts, and promises with their happy ups and challenging downs,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysnear.us@#$%&/]wholesale jerseys[/url], and if suddenly, the brakes are slammed on this journey ? news of a member of the family killed in a road accident ? the reality seems too harsh to grasp for everyone connected to that beautiful being.Most of us may have experienced the shock of losing a relative or friend to a road accident.  Road accidents today are one of the leading causes of death across the world. Every six seconds, there is an injury, every 25 seconds one death.  60 to 80 % of the victims are pedestrians, motor-cyclists, and those riding slow-moving vehicles such as bicycles. Hence, most vulnerable are youth, children, and those from middle and low income groups.In India, 70 % casualties are in the age group of 15 to 44 years.  With shock, grief, disability, medical burdens, and loss of the breadwinner or young members of the family, the emotional, mental, physical and economical burdens of a road accident are very high. A study in India and Bangladesh found that at least 50% of families affected by road accidents slip below the poverty line due to such losses.The human world is gradually waking up to the reality that something needs to be seriously done about this malaise. Road accidents happen more often with a non-criminal intent.  Our modern lifestyles – marked with high competition and material ambitions, fast pace, availability of high speed gadgets, stress and substance abuse – have collectively created this increase in road fatalities. Today, the fatalities are staring back at us through the faces of orphaned children, bereaved parents, physically challenged survivors and lonely spouses. The sirens are ringing ?It?s time for action?.Considering the gravity of the issue and the need for global action, the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) in co-ordination with the World Health Organisation declared this decade 2011-2020 as the Decade of Action for Road Safety. To focus attention on this Decade the Brahma Kumaris is implementing a special project on Road Safety. One of the activities under this project is contributing the power of positive thoughts and pure feelings through meditation to the victims and survivors of road accidents.A powerful way of doing this will be witnessed today (18th Nov 2012) by observance of the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. This day declared by the UNRSC coincides with the International Meditation Hour observed by the Brahma Kumaris on the third Sunday of every month. During this hour, thousands of students at the Brahma Kumaris worldwide collectively meditate for world peace from 6.30 to 7.30 pm in their respective time zones.Today, students of Brahma Kumaris centres worldwide will collectively meditate especially for Road Traffic victims. Many centres will organize local level events,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysfactorywholesale@#$%&/]Jerseys NFL Wholesale[/url], wherein any individual or group interested in joining this endeavour can participate. They will be oriented on how to practice ?traffic control? of the mind.The Brahma Kumaris believes that ?Actions? for Road Safety need to be empowered by elevated ?awareness?.   Awareness could be understood here, as a state where the mind is conscious of what is happening both in the inner self and the outside world, and hence there is clarity, calmness and control.  Awareness is to recognize the value of lives, the methods to enhance concentration and to be calm whilst walking or driving, the significance of rules, and the people?s potential of creating safer road journeys.Thoughts and feelings are the fundamental level of communication among human beings. They are subtle ultra-vibrations that touch other beings and constantly influence everything. Our loved ones who have passed away in road accidents leaving their current body and role,[url=http://www.footlockershop.us@#$%&/Nike-roshe-one-hyperfuse/]http://www.footlockershop.us@#$%&/Nike-roshe-one-hyperfuse/[/url], are now on a new journey. In a state of inner calm, we can feel their eternal presence and give them the best gift of vibrations of peace,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysshare.us@#$%&/]NFL Jerseys Supply[/url], love, courage and positivity. Those who have been injured in road accidents and face physical challenges, also need the support of our vibrations of hope and courage. The survivors, victims and their families, all will be benefited by this support from their world family.Reasons for observing the World Day of Remembrance (WDR):§  The UN Secretary General said , ?On this day, let us mobilize all possible contributions to improving road safety ? from city planners to vehicle designers, from policy makers to road users. Let us honour those who have lost their lives on the world?s roads by acting to save the lives of others.?§  To enhance sensitivity and seriousness that are needed in responding to and improving services for the bereaved and injured and to reduce danger for all who use the world?s roads.§  To acknowledge the courageous efforts of emergency service-providers like the medical, fire, ambulance and other services and also citizens who have courageously saved lives in road crashes.World Day of Remembrance is an opportunity for us to collectively make a difference on our roads.  Let us mark this day,[url=http://www.nhl2017.us@#$%&/Detroit-Red-Wings-Chris-Chelios-Jersey/]Chris Chelios Red Wings Jersey[/url], make up our minds and begin to contribute our positive thoughts, words and actions for the cause of road safety.
