Today we visited Tenby International School and Sri Tenby Primary School.

Mr Chia, Principal of Sri Tenby Primary School, proudly held the Peace torch.

"Man invents war. Man discovers peace. He invents war from without. He discovers peace from within. War man throws. Peace man sows. The smile of war is the flood of human blood. The smile of peace is the love, below, above."-Sri Chinmoy

Student leaders led the Peace Run team into the hall where 350 students of Tenby International Primary and Sri Tenby Primary School were waiting for our arrival.

Uddyogini had a great time interacting with the students.

Urdhacheta Yap introducing the Run to the audience.

At last my searching mind has a new name: Emptiness. At last my crying heart has a new name: Selflessness. At last my smiling life has a new name: Oneness. At last my loving heart has a new name: Fulness. -Sri Chinmoy.

Let's run for peace!

To keep your inner newness and freshness, you need only one quality: Cheerfulness. -Sri Chinmoy

I see no foe. No matter where I go, I see a oneness-glow and an endless-flow. -Sri Chinmoy.

When I look at a child, he gives me his soul-beauty-dreams.

-Sri Chinmoy

Earth’s beauty is in its soulfully smiling hope. Heaven’s beauty is in its peacefully loving promise.

– Sri Chinmoy

Power Frightens us.

Beauty Enlightens us.

– Sri Chinmoy

Hi five!

Explore new heights, purse new goal! Now your heart is waving victory banners, your mind is blowing victory-bugles, your eye is singing victory-songs. -Sri Chinmoy

Just one smile immensely increases the beauty of the entire universe. -Sri Chinmoy

As the peace torch goes around the world, we feel the light of peace is being spread to every corner of the globe to ignite the flame of joy, happiness and hope in the heart of humanity.

Oneness is complete only when compassion is infinite.

– Sri Chinmoy.

Each time I soulfully pray, a new world unfolds itself, a new dimension fills me with astonishment and I discover startling truths. -Sri Chinmoy

Grace from Above profusely descends only when we are ready to embrace the whole world.

-Sri Chinmoy

Our heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Tenby International Schools for having us. May the flame of peace ignite a feeling of glowing happiness in your hearts.

Let the Run begins.
