Sri Chinmoy, born as Chinmoy Kumar Ghose, is one of the most publicly known people fighting for peace. Born on August 1931, Chinmoy enjoyed a life of harmony. Newspapers all around the world wrote about him, how he founded sports events, and his veganism when being a vegan was still an unknown topic. Born in India, he moved to New York City in 1964. He established the first meditation center in Queens, New York, and eventually had 7,000 students in 60 different countries in the world. Chinmoy was a prolific author, artist, poet, and musician. He held public events and mediations on the theme of inner peace. But in 2014, there were women coming out and speaking on the sexual abuse they endured.
The Peace Run
Chinmoy is most famous for his Peace Run. He founded the run in 1987, with a goal of being a run for international friendship. The forerunner to the first race was The Liberty Torch Run, a relay to mark America’s bicentennial in 1976. The run was known as the “World Harmony Run” from 2005 to 2013.
