On November 3 and November 10, 2017 the United Kingdom radio station Source FM (96.1), which broadcasts in the Falmouth/Penryn area, presented Lord Sri Krishna’s peace formula, from Bhagavad-gita 5.29, to its listening audience via both FM and the internet. This wonderful sharing was done by radio host Sophie Sweatman on her weekly show, “Sophie’s Springboard Show”, which airs every Friday from 2pm to 3:30pm UK time.
Krishna’s peace formula was presented in the form of a song called “The Peace Formula,” which was written and sung by ISKCON devotee, Sankarshan Das Adhikari. It’s interesting to note that Sankarshan Prabhu is joined on the chorus by members the Island Baptist Church from South Padre Island, Texas who sing along with great enthusiasm and energy.
The Peace Formula was very much appreciated in 2015 by Barack Obama when he was president of the United States.
Here’s what Barack Obama wrote to Sankarshan on 24 December 2015:
The White House, Washington
Thank you for writing. Messages like yours serve as an important reminder of the work that still lies ahead, and they reflect a commitment to staying engaged in shaping the future we know is possible. As long as I’m President, I’ll keep pouring everything I have into securing a brighter tomorrow for people across our country.
Again, thank you for writing. By embracing hope and speaking out on issues that matter to you, you can help make a difference. I want you to know I’m listening, and I wish you all the best.
Sincerely, Barack Obama

The radio show host Sophie Sweatman has requested a copy of Sankarshan’s latest CD “Our Sweet Lord” (available at: www.turnontheworld.com). So we may be hearing more of Sankarshan’s songs on her upcoming shows.
