The World Harmony Run recently visited Vietnam and was enthusiastically welcomed by the local population. This unique run for world peace was founded by Sri Chinmoy in 1987 and, in the past two decades has captured the imagination of thousands of people across the world.

On the 7th November, the team went to visit the world renowned beauty of Ha Long Bay.
Sri Chinmoy hoped the Peace Run, would help spread the ideals of peace and harmony throughout the world. He wrote:
“This world of ours has everything except one thing: peace. Everybody wants and needs peace, whether he be a child or an octogenarian.”
