"Peace in the world-oneness-home is the supreme fulfilment of humanity's birthless and deathless promise to God." - Sri Chinmoy
The Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run was founded by Sri Chinmoy early in 1987 to foster peace between people of all nations. Sri Chinmoy would later comment, the Peace Run was an unprecedented achievement and manifestation.
A prayerful moment.
Sri Chinmoy: This Peace Run is something that I shall cherish until I breathe my last, and my Beloved Supreme within me will forever, forever and forever cherish this Peace Run. Individually and collectively, I am telling you, you deserve at every moment my very, very special gratitude.

Later that day, Sri Chinmoy repeated his message on peace, during a telephone call to his Australian disciples
From time immemorial, humanity's crying heart has been dreaming of peace. And now that peace is blossoming into reality. A new creation begins in the oneness-heart-home of man's ancient promise to God.
