Victoria Falls, a Sri Chinmoy Peace Falls
As this thundering cascade descends from the heights, rainbow-visions delight our eyes and uplift our spirit. Victoria Falls was commemorated as a Sri Chinmoy Peace Falls in 1996. It thus joins a family of over 800 significant landmarks around the globe that have been dedicated to peace. The Peace-Blossoms family takes its name from Sri Chinmoy, an international ambassador of peace who has dedicated his life to fostering peace within the aspiring heart of humanity. May this stupendous grandeur and wonder of nature forever inundate each and every human heart with a fruitful and fulfilling sea of onenesspeace.
Do not stop dreaming! One day your world-peace-dream will inundate the entire world. - Sri Chinmoy Victoria Falls, peerless jewel of Africa! Soul-stirring power. Breath-taking beauty. Life-elevating majesty!
