See original page regarding the 50-state songs composed by Sri Chinmoy. The songs are a humble offering of respect to each state of the union.
Herewith the recordings, in the order the 2026 Peace Run course will take through all 50-states of America.
Note:
- Each year, the Peace Run takes place in hundreds of countries throughout the globe — see here for the many ways you can participate.
- The 2026 USA Peace Run course details is here
- Enjoy the songs of the Peace Run — and share them with your choirs.
This is one example of one of the songs on that site:
The dates listed here are the dates that the 2026 Peace Run will pass through each state. The exact dates can be found on the Peace Run’s Route page.
Important note: while Sri Chinmoy composed many (many!) songs with complex lyrics, this set of 50 songs are unique in that they only contain the name of the State, repeated mantric-like several times. Sri Chinmoy did *not* count these — nor other songs/melodies which he did not write its unique lyrics to — in his lifetime total of over 23,000 songs.
Note: Links on state names will bring you to the page of Sri Chinmoy’s activities in that state.
