A universal peace

Has always beenHumanity’s

Most ancient need. – Sri Chinmoy

“Everything I am doing is aimed at one goal – the establishment of a oneness-family founded upon peace. If I have peace and you have peace and everybody has peace, then only can we have a oneness-family.” ~ Sri Chinmoy

was founded in 1987 by peace visionary Sri Chinmoy. His simple message is that world peace begins within the heart of each of us, and that we all have an important and unique role to play in making our world a true oneness-home.

By passing the torch from hand to hand, from community to community and from nation to nation, this global relay has traversed more than 160 nations, covering over 600,000km (370,000 miles) and touching the lives of millions of people.

Sri Chinmoy dedicated his life to inspiring individuals from all walks of life to bring forward their own expressions of peace from within and share them with the world.

While running from one country to another ... we are inviting the whole world to feel the supreme importance of oneness.

Sri Chinmoy, April 1987, interview, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, New York

come only from children – from a child's heart and a child's dreams. Sri Chinmoy, A Child's Heart and a Child's Dreams, Agni Press, 1986
