International Mother Earth Day is celebrated to remind each of us that the Earth and its ecosystems provide us with life and sustenance. The United Nations General Assembly, noting that Earth Day is observed each year in many countries, decided to designate April 22 as International Mother Earth Day through resolution A/RES/63/278, adopted in 2009. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day now includes events in more than 193 countries.
At a special event to mark the United Nations International Day of Peace on September 21st, seven-thousand thousand peace-drawings from children around the world were displayed around the perimeter of the Colosseum in Rome.
The event, entitled “Colors of Peace” is organised by the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run with the Patronship of the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Republic, Regione Lazio, in collaboration with the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum, the Istituto Superiore Morano di Caivano and the Arvalia association, the contribution of Roma Capitale Municipality and with the media partnership of Italian National Broadcaster RAI Gulp.
The ceremony also featured an award presentation for the winners of the Peace Movie Award, an international competition under the patronage of the Italian ministries of Education, Universities and Research; and Cultural Heritage and Activities. As part of the competition, schools around the world contributed video clips of 30 seconds or under, defining and celebrating peace in their own way.

World-renowned peace leader and spiritual luminary Sri Chinmoy began a new way of honouring people in 1988 — by lifting them from an honorary platform and offering his prayerful gratitude for their contributions to humanity. He called it Lifting Up the World With a Oneness-Heart.
From 1988 to 2007, Sri Chinmoy honoured more than 8200 different people from all walks of life and many nations in this unique way. Photos and messages from twenty-seven of the most notable luminaries so honoured are included. This lifting award created by Sri Chinmoy had a powerful and deeply moving impact on those so honoured.
Puja Mandala is a remarkable place of unique importance not only in Bali, but in the culture of world interfaith harmony.

Sri Chinmoy, the founder of the Peace Run, was delighted to visit Puja Mandala in 2004.
