The name of the organization was changed to its current name in 1999 from Sotoshu Volunteer Association (SVA), and the organization was granted accreditation as a Shandan Hojin (legal public association) by the ministry of Foreign Affairs in Japan. "Shanti" means "Peace" or "tranquility" in Sanskrit. Peace throughout the world with tranquility in everyone's mind - this is our wish.
