The Sri Chinmoy Peace-Blossoms program
The Sri Chinmoy Peace-Blossoms program is a groundbreaking project that promotes global peace and harmony. Through peace dedications, the initiative encourages notable landmarks, capitals, and significant natural locations to inspire communities and nations to a shared commitment to a world of peace.
From the Mount Everest to the Chinese wall
are among the most notable Sri Chinmoy Peace-Blossoms. These dedications are powerful symbols of peace that remind us of our collective commitment to making the world a better place.
Peace symbols
The dedication plaques not only remind us of nature's greatness, but also that each country and culture has its unique peace sign. We all want the same thing: to live in a more peaceful and accepting environment. These peace symbols unite us and deepen our solidarity in our common quest for peace.
Founded by Sri Chinmoy, an unstoppable peace ambassador, the program believes that peace is a dynamic force that can transform the world, not just the absence of violence or conflict. Sri Chinmoy dedicated his life to promoting peace and harmony, and his teachings, writings, and activities continue to inspire people all around the world who are working to make the world a better place.
Sri Chinmoy's philosophy emphasizes the importance of inner peace as a foundation for creating peace in the outer world. His teachings encourage individuals to cultivate a peaceful mindset through meditation and self-transformation.
By spreading this message, the program aims to empower individuals to become agents of positive change and contribute to a more peaceful and harmonious global society.

Since its inception in 1986, the Sri Chinmoy Peace-Blossoms program has dedicated over 900 notable places, capitals, and landmarks around the world to the cause of peace. These locations, which involve more than 150 countries, serve as reminders of the perennial importance of peace. All of these dedication ceremonies are held in partnership with municipal, state, and national authorities and are commemorated by Sri Chinmoy Peace-Blossoms plaques.
These inaugurations serve as powerful reminders of our shared commitment to a world at peace and as sources of inspiration for future generations who will uphold these values.
The Sri Chinmoy Peace-Blossoms initiative is much more than a collection of awards and commitments. It is an effective means of promoting cooperation, communication, and peace among diverse groups and nations all over the world. They together encourage individuals and communities to pledge to establishing a more peaceful world through the dedication of monuments and key sites.
The program is a strong reminder of the value of the human spirit.
It shows us that even in times of turmoil, we have the option of choosing peace. We can choose to make a collective commitment to creating a more peaceful world and work toward it incrementally.
As our increasingly interconnected world progresses, the Sri Chinmoy Peace-Blossoms initiative reminds us of the need of banding together in our shared commitment to making the world a more peaceful place.
