In this ITV New York interview, Shiv R. Jhawar, author of Building a Noble World, shares the ideas that shaped his book and his life’s mission. The conversation explores how inner transformation, spiritual awakening, and global cooperation can help create a truly noble world.
What Is a Noble World?
Jhawar offers a simple and powerful definition:
“Individuals make the families, families make the society, society makes the nation, and nations make the world.”
Real change, he explains, must begin with the individual. Anger, lust, hatred, jealousy, greed, and pride cloud the mind and distort perception. As these weaknesses are removed, a person becomes noble — and the world naturally reflects that nobility.
The interview also explores why humanity continues to struggle with violence and conflict. Temporary peace is merely the absence of war; lasting peace arises only through inner transformation.
Yoga and Inner Transformation
Jhawar describes yoga as union — the inner integration of the male and female aspects present within every human being. External love depends on others, but inner union is independent and life‑changing.
When a person attains inner peace, he says, that peace naturally radiates outward, just as a rose naturally gives fragrance.
Baba Muktananda and the Birth of the Book
Jhawar shares how meeting Baba Muktananda in 1974 profoundly changed his life. After attending Muktananda’s programs in Chicago and receiving Shaktipat, he experienced an awakening of inner spiritual energy.
Building a Noble World was written as an expression of gratitude for that transformation.

⭐ “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.

Everyone should read this great book!” — S. Kausar

Our Mission
Our mission is to inspire individuals toward inner transformation, peace, and self‑realization through meditation, spiritual talks, and contemplative music.
Alongside writing and teaching, Shiv R. Jhawar expresses these inner truths through music. His work includes a Playlist of Hindi spiritual songs and a Playlist of English spiritual songs, both available on YouTube. These songs are contemplative offerings — intended not as performance, but as invitations to stillness, self‑inquiry, and inner awakening.
Our mission is universal. We welcome everyone — regardless of race, religion, gender, or nationality. A noble world begins within. We invite you to turn inward, rediscover your true Self, and join us in building a world rooted in unity, dignity, love — and fairness in action.
