The World Harmony Run, was founded by Sri Chinmoy, as an initiative to encourage world peace and friendship amongst the different peoples of the world.

The initiative has been supported by African leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu.

"My Brother in peace, we acknowledge the tremendous contribution which you and your peace movement are making to promote global peace."

- Nelson Mandela [1. World Harmony Run - Torch Relay for Peace and Harmony p.118. New York: Agni Press, 2010]

“I am happy to support your Peace Run for justice, peace and reconciliation. The world must know that God wants us to live amicably as brothers and sisters, members of one family, the human family, God’s family.”

"The absence of war is not and cannot be the real peace. Real peace is the unmistakable establishment of celestial harmony and universal love."
