MESSAGE
Pondicherry is a sacred center of spiritual enlightenment. The ideal of human unity on spiritual oneness was propagated from here by Sri Aurobindo and The Divine Mother. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru once remarked: 'I like coming to Pondicherry, a pleasant and a peaceful place in this turbulent world'.
It is most gratifying to learn that Shri Chinmoy ji is planting the seeds of world peace through his meditations at United Nations and many other centers around the world through music, literature, poetry and programmes like peace-run and peace-blossoms.
It is heartening to note that more than 900 places and 69 countries have joined Sri Chinmoy Peace Blossom programme. The people of Pondicherry have great pleasure in joining Sri Chinmoy Peace Blossom programme for World Peace
