Squirrel Banner of Peace

You may or may not be familiar with 

Nicolas Roerich's Peace Banner:

Nic was a peace loving Russian artist and mystic who lived in the early 1900's. One of his most famous paintings is the Madonna Oriflamma from which came the Banner of Peace. Nic is quoted to have said, "Where there is peace, there is culture, and where there is culture, there is peace". Wanting to protect places of art, culture, libraries, churches, scientific institutions, etc., from the belligerents of war, he worked with a team of international experts and lawyers. With their assistance, he approached the League of Nations in 1935 and the Roerich Pact and Banner of Peace was signed by India, the Baltic States, and 22 nations of the Americas including the United States. This treaty is international law today. This symbol is celebrated the world over and for his contribution, Nic was awarded the Nobel Prize.  The three inner circles represent art, science, and spirituality, while the large circle on the outside represents the unity of all. The deep red color symbolizes the color of the one blood of all beings. Squirrel Planet has adapted this Peace Banner to represent the sentiments of all squirrels on the planet. Now, with so many changes going on, it is time to reeducate people all over the globe. Bucky Squirrel, the famous bodhi squirrel of Austin told us that what Nic really wanted to convey was the message that:

Where there is Peace, there are squirrels.

Where there are squirrels, there is Peace!

However, he knew that back in his day, people were not yet knowledgeable about the unified mission of all squirrels on the planet and indeed in the entire cosmos! Here at SquirrelPlanet.org we feel sure that Mr. Roerich would be proud to display the Squirrel Banner of Peace!

Mr.Nut recommends displaying the Banner of Peace in the home.
