Success is measured by the outer joy. Progress is measured By the inner peace. - Sri Chinmoy

A team of young volleyball players run with the Torch. The participation of enthusiastic
youth gives the World Harmony Run a boost of energy and hope for the future, as we try

Children and adults alike enjoy holding the World Harmony Run Torch. Some make a quiet wish for Peace. Our international runners then take turns speaking to the children in their native languages, leaving the children to guess their nationalities. They don’t just use languages; children worldwide love it when Australians impersonate a jumping kangaroo, making it easy to guess their nation.
— Bansidhar Medeiros, Puerto Rico
