The team sing the World Harmony Run song which was composed by The World Harmony Run founder Sri Chinmoy.

The World Harmony Run was invited to visit the renowned Nelson Market. The market's founder and CEO, Nita Knight (above), held the Harmony Torch and then lead our team through the market encouraging marketeers and market visitors alike to hold the torch and offer a prayer or thought for peace. Nita has a universal heart and we were very grateful to her for sharing the vision of the World Harmony Run in such a powerful way. Nelson Market is not only about buying and selling, for many Nelsonians it has become an integral part of Nelson social life and is a very peaceful and happy space.

"May each and every individual each day have a new dream of world harmony." - Sri Chinmoy.
