The world's largest peace torch relay.

I know my students will remember all year long the meaning of the word peace and remembering that it starts within. It will be important for them for the rest of the school year and hopefully for the rest of their lives.

I believe those that come in contact with the Peace Run feel the harmony and take it with them into their daily life, with the desire to keep it present and make it grow. This is the true inspiration and the beginning of all positive change. It is the spark within us.

I believe that, after touching the Peace Torch and feeling the strength of its creator Sri Chinmoy, something begins, and from there, each of us can be a better person and make the world a better place.

Your work and service to humanity’s causes has a seen, but more importantly, an unseen value that elevates the consciousness of each torch holder, as cumulative heart-hopes bring universal oneness.

When I held the torch I felt all the good people in the world, and all the peace in the world - combined together in the torch.

You bring to us a lot of love, a lot of sensation. I almost cry when you run in to our school. We have a world with so many wars and you bring a little faith to us.
