The Murray River
A Sri Chinmoy Peace River
After a journey of 2,520 kilometres, spanning three states of Australia, the mighty Murray River reaches the Southern Ocean here, in the vicinity of Goolwa, South Australia.
This epic river has now been dedicated as a Sri Chinmoy Peace River, joining many other symbolic landmarks around the world, including Niagara Falls, Mt Fuji, the Victoria Falls and Lake Baikal, that have been dedicated as Sri Chinmoy Peace – Blossoms.
Each one powerfully reminds us of nature’s peace and tranquillity.
In this spirit, may the gentle waters of the Murray River carry our common aspiration for peace throughout the length of this ancient land.
‘The waters of my heart-river are all peace.’ -Sri Chinmoy
