In conversation with Shiv R. Jhawar

ITV New York Interview — October 3, 2005

Aired on ITV New York: October 3, 2005 at 7:00 PM and February 21, 2012 at 6:00 PM
In this exclusive ITV New York interview, Shiv R. Jhawar shares the ideas and experiences that shaped his mission: inner purification awakens one’s higher nature and creates a ripple effect of peace and nobility in the world.
The logic is simple. Individuals form families. Families form societies. Societies form nations. Nations form the world. When individuals change, the world changes. Real change begins with the individual.

At the heart of Jhawar’s message is a profound truth: the human mind carries anger, lust, hatred, jealousy, greed, pride, and other weaknesses. As these impurities are removed, the person becomes noble. This is the central theme of Building a Noble World: inner purification creates outer nobility.

The book also challenges the conventional idea of peace. The period between World War I and World War II was called “peace,” yet it was only a temporary pause before another conflict. Jhawar speaks instead of permanent peace—a peace that arises from the deepest level of one’s own being. When a person experiences this inner peace, life begins to change from within.

This is not abstract philosophy. Jhawar describes a practical path that begins within. His central metaphor is the rose. A rose gives fragrance whether held by a beggar or a king. In the same way, when a person becomes peaceful within, that peace naturally radiates outward. It is not dependent on wealth, status, or circumstances. Inner peace can create a noble world.

In Building a Noble World, Jhawar also recounts his own spiritual journey, including his Shaktipat experience—Kundalini awakening—at Swami Muktananda’s public program at Lake Point Tower in Chicago on September 16, 1974. The book is a heartfelt expression of gratitude for that profound inner transformation.

Jhawar also explores yoga as union—the integration of the male and female aspects within every human being. External life depends on relationships with others, but inner union is independent, direct, and life-changing.

Reflections from readers

What Readers Are Saying

“A capsule of wisdom.”

“It is extremely rare to find such a wealth of knowledge in one small book. Building a Noble World is more like a ‘capsule’ — reading one small, easy‑to‑understand handbook instead of reading fifty complex books.” — Harish S. Jhaveri, MD, Galveston, TX

“Enlightening and encouraging.”

“A very helpful book that enlightens the reader on worldly and spiritual aspects of life. A well‑written, encouraging book on living a more peaceful, stress‑free life.” — Thomas Greenan

“Unique, inspiring, and filled with wisdom.”

“This book is very unique and interesting. One would only know by reading it. It includes quotes from noble people like Mahatma Gandhi and Albert Einstein. It emphasizes yoga, spirituality, and meditation. It talks a great deal about peace, politics, religion, and culture. I truly enjoyed this astonishing book and gained a variety of insights. Everyone should read this great book!” — S. Kausar
