Sri Chinmoy Peace-Blossoms

Since 1986, many significant landmarks around the globe – from natural wonders to entire nations – have been dedicated to peace as part of the Sri Chinmoy Peace-Blossoms programme. The Peace-Blossoms family offers an opportunity for different communities to share in mankind's common quest for peace.

"What does peace do? Peace blossoms. What else? Peace spreads. What else? Peace illumines. What else? Peace fulfils."

Sri Chinmoy 1

Each Peace-Blossom is established through the auspices of the governing local, state or national officials, and many are marked with an inspirational plaque.
