Pigeons, Doves as Symbol of Peace...

*and also, its ymbol of Love, Maternity, Gentleness, Spirit Messengers

Dove/Pigeon's gifts include - bringer of peace and love, understanding of gentleness, spirit messenger, communication between the two worlds, maternity, femininity, prophecy.

The Dove represents peace of the deepest kind. It soothes and quiets our worried and troubled thoughts, and enables us to find renewal in the silence of mind. In these moments of stillness we are able to appreciate the simple things in life.

The myths and legends surrounding the dove links it with many goddesses and it is renowned as the embodiment of the maternal instinct. The dove's brood consists of 2 eggs. 2 is a symbol of the creative and feminine energies. Home and family are very dear and meaningful to those with this power animal. Life lessons will be most prevailing in these areas.

This bird is linked with the transitional periods in the day's cycle. The dove's singing is its most distinctive characteristic, to be heard throughout the day, as well as first thing in the morning and last thing at night. According to mystical and magical traditions, the veils between the physical and spiritual worlds are then at their thinnest. Their coo sounds mournful, possibly reflecting hidden emotions within those with this medicine. How you perceive its sound often mirror the energies that are present in your life.

The precious stone amethyst is purple in colour. Sometimes at sunset and sunrise the sky is also this colour. The thing of interest here is that like the dove, amethyst relates to peacefulness. Amethyst is one of the most popular crystals used, and a comfort to those living in a world, which seems to be filled with stress, tension, and major changes. Certainly more peace is needed in the world and in some of our lives. Together with dove and amethyst, this may just be achieved. Particularly when we are going through or are facing big changes and transitions.

Dove's are members of the pigeon family. Both symbolise the qualities of home, security and maternal instincts. Many with this power animal will experience unsettling childhood's and will be consistently challenged to help gain a solid and secure foundation in all areas of their lives.

Dove teaches us that, regardless of external circumstances, peace is always a touch away - within us, and always available. Meditation and practicing deep breathing can help us to find inner peace, assisting us to go about our lives calmly and with purpose2


The dove embodies maternal instinct and is connected to Mother Earth and her creative energies. Their mournful coo speaks to our deepest self and stirs our emotions. The voice of dove is a rain song bringing us hope of a new beginning. Listen for their call with your soul.

As doves are ground feeders, mostly consuming seeds, those with this power animal would do well on a diet rich in wholesome seeds, nuts and grains. They would also be successful in any health profession relating to nutrition.

If dove flies into your life, you are being asked to go within and release your emotional disharmony, be it of the past or the present. Dove helps us to rid trauma stored within our cellular memory. Humming can help you with this release.

Doves carry the energy of promise. When inner agitation is banished from our thoughts, words and feelings, the goodness awaits us. So we are able to receive the gifts doves present us, healing on all levels - emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually - is of utmost importance.

Flying the pigeons as a symbol of piece will be one of our part of ceremony on Peace in The World Campaign, 31st October 2009.

Surely, we invite you to be the part of it!!!

...Happy Iedul Fitri...

Mahasiswa Indonesia, komunitas mahasiswa asing di Bandung, pelajar SMA, LSM, dan komunitas pemuda akan bergabung dalam longmarch yang ditutup dengan pentas seni tradisional dan pelepasan merpati sebagai simbol perdamaian.

Kita akan diajak mengeksplorasi dunia melalui kebudayaan, makanan, permainan, karya seni, cinderamata, dan sederet aktivitas interaktif dalam “International Cultural Festival”.

Our Objectives, why Explore The Globe In Harmony should be held??

"EXPLORE THE GLOBE IN HARMONY 2009"

Through educational and cultural activities, INCU and Unpad would like to penetrate UN’s global message to the society. The theme would lead “UN Day” closer to students and families, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, and it would unite us as one: the world community.

So, our objectives are :

· To deliver the message of universality and global understanding to the people—especially students and families—so that they have a desire to share it to others;

· To make people feel as part of one world community who respect and love brotherhood and peace through educational and cultural exchange;

· To improve and maintain a good relationship between Indonesian students and foreign students especially in Bandung and Jakarta;

· To support Padjadjaran University’s vision and mission and Indonesian high education institution as world class university.
