Previous District Governor Princess Febri Dipokosumo for Surakata City Java, the inspiration behind the whole event, gives the peace sign joined by District Governor Suzana Chandra and some particpants.

This morning we had a wonderful event in a field just by Bajra Sandhi Monument.

In collaboration with Rotary District 3420 we put on the Oneness-Home Peace Festival. Which was a collection of 24 countries offering games and activities to more than 500 Balinese students.

The event began with a short ceremony.

Agus Helly served as MC for the event. He is president nominee for Rotary Club of Bali Taman.

Rotary District Governor Suzana Chandra got the crowd very inspired.

Soon it was time to play some games. Australia was in charge of bubbles.

Bulgaria was doing skipping or jump rope.

Everyone was very happy.

Time to get a new stamp in the passport.

Suhashini read out what Sri Chinmoy said about Bali when he first visited in 1988.

Of all the places I have visited in the last 15 or 16 years, Bali is undoubtedly the best. It has everything: sincerity, simplicity, purity, humility and peace. Is there any divine quality missing here?

Even outwardly it is so beautiful. You can see how beautiful the little cottages and villages are. They have such simplicity!

Bali has maintained most of its pristine purity. You don’t even have to meditate here; nature will meditate on your behalf. Early in the morning if you walk around the villages, their divine qualities will enter into you and you will become a different person. Here in Bali, nature herself will accelerate your inner progress!

This place is Heaven on earth. In terms of consciousness, Bali is by far the best — both inwardly and outwardly. In many aspects it is even better than India. I am an Indian, but sincerity has to speak!

Sri Chinmoy, 12 January 1988
