The true spirit of World Harmony shone through the hearts of all these runners. 

Smile for World Harmony

Sweetness is the sky,
Sweetness is the air,
Sweetness all around me.
I have discovered sweetness-life
Within and without.
Sweetness-heart I distribute,
All darkness I have destroyed,
With my all-illumining
Sweetness smile.

A poem by Sri Chinmoy, the Founder of the World Harmony Run.

Between the period of June and September 2009, more than 300 people from all walks of lives in Singapore participated in a very interesting project known as 'Smile for World Harmony.'  A smile is a bridge for harmony amongst people. So let our smiles from our hearts open up a world of friendships and peace. I like to thank those who offered your hearts' smiles for world harmony. May our smiles unite our world.

(The followings are aphorisms of Sri Chinmoy.)

Earth gives us earth tears,                                                                                                       Heaven gives us heavenly smiles.

May our heart
Everyday offer
Sunshine smiles
To the whole world.

Just a smile
Makes our mind clear,
Our heart pure
And our world new.

A smiling child
Is the owner
Of a rainbow-heart.

Each breath
Has to be
A flower-smile-freshness.

Where there is hope
In the heart,
A smile can be found
On the face.

Let us bravely,
Smilingly and proudly
Challenge the pride
Of impossibility.

Everybody
Is expected to bask
In earth's sunshine smile.

Oneness strengthens
My heart
and brightens
My smile.

Harmony is the
Brightest smile.
