World Harmony Run



The World Harmony Run is an initiative founded by Sri Chinmoy. It seeks to bring people together in a spirit of friendship and harmony. The essence of the Run is summed up with the motto "harmony begins with me". If people can bring more harmony into their own lives this will spread to their friends and the wider community. The aim of the Run is to meet with many people from different cultures and traditions and share the common aspiration for a better world.

The World Harmony Run takes place in each of the 5 main continents. The European leg recently started in Portugal and will not finish until October in Holland.

Mark Collinson from Bristol took part in the WHR last year for over 6 months. He shares some of his experiences from the run here: World Harmony Run 2006 - A Short Note

It was almost 12 months ago that I embarked on an amazing 6 month journey with the European leg of the World harmony Run that was to take me through 30 countries and leave me with such wonderful memories that they will stay with me forever.

Spiritual Friends

Spiritual friends are more like brothers and sisters. Underneath our differences, personalities and individualities lies a very familiar oneness, a deep love and a unique understanding. I feel this with every person that I have begun to know on Sri Chinmoy’s path - the ‘path of the heart’.

My Singing Friends

From the continual inner and outer guidance of our spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy, we each learn to gain access to and live our lives from within our spiritual heart, rather than the mind. Living in the heart colours everything in life with a beautiful glow and brings forward qualities of love, compassion, forgiveness and happiness.

Spanning out, not only to friends but to strangers also, these qualities radiate unconditionally from the heart and lead to a divine love for people everywhere, for all of humanity.

In our every day lives, students of Sri Chinmoy practice to live from within the spiritual heart and bring forward the positive qualities that the heart embodies. As a result an amazing feeling of harmony is felt within this large group of diverse people from many different nations and cultures. With harmony it is astonishing what can be achieved! I travel to New York where Sri Chinmoy lives, along with many other students from around the world and everywhere, among all, I see the same harmony and oneness, love and respect.

As spiritual friends, we share joy and laughter, discoveries, inspiration and aspiration. We lift each other up when one falls. We inspire and encourage each other to run towards the goal. All spiritual seekers are on the same journey, striving for the same inner freedom and happiness, fulfilment and transformation. We spread love and light to people everywhere just by feeling it within ourselves. And all of this is a result of living in the heart.

The feeling that is experienced in an environment where the power of love leads our lives, rather than the ‘love of power’, is something so unique and special. I often feel that there will come a day when the whole world will be like this and all human beings will have the opportunity to experience this beauty, where unconditional love, understanding, genuine concern, oneness, and respect is shared between people everywhere. It starts from each individual and the blossoming of each spiritual heart.
