Peace starts with each individual. The Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run symbolizes that great step. Peace does not mean the absence of war.
Peace means the presence of harmony, love, satisfaction and oneness.
The Peace Run is an Olympic-style relay by men and women and children from more than 70 nations. Each participant runs a few yards or a few miles holding aloft a flaming Peace Torch, then hands it over to the next runner along the route. All it takes is a commitment to peace. Each person who holds or runs with the Peace Torch lights a path for those who follow. Each time the Torch is passed the flame of oneness burns a little brighter.
