"In our time a secret manifesto is being written. Its language is a longing we see in one another's eyes.
It is the longing to know our authentic vocation in the world, to find the work and the way of being that belong to each of us.I speak of the declaration of our right to self-discovery."

- Theodore Roszak

Annually, on World Harmony Day, we discover our true self. For WHD 2004, after just five days with 20 passionate people consisting total strangers, assembled at Yogi-hub and pooled in collective strength, it shows you what you can achieve just with a 'belief'.

The event held at Suntec City in 20th Feb. 2004 was very challenging. In fact, it came so close to not happening at all. This is because my mother Sunflower and I were both exhausted and tired and hardly had any energy to go on.

Initially questioning the validity and actual impact of the event, besides just being a day of lighting of candles and standing for peace and harmony, we were fortunately proved wrong.

A few friends (kindred spirits as we would like to call them) were moved by the idea and started the ball rolling. Just ten days before the big day we met to organize it with concerned friends who thought that this endeavor was a lovely one and shall not die off.

Therefore, with the grace and help from them we managed to pull this one off. The fact that everyone met frequently and poured out their hearts to tie things together, making WHD 2004 a reality, touched our hearts.

The togetherness and unity only illustrates the nature of WHD being an experience of total harmony. When there is belief and faith, beautiful things can happen. So we are totally blessed to carry this event forward to the next step of marking yet another year.

Without corporate sponsors or any financial backing for that matter, a positive and very heart-warming event is indeed a miracle.

We didn't even know most of the people, just like the people who had attend that night that is the power of the human spirit. This means we all can make a difference; we all can show we care. We did not say that we can change the entire world... but at least through WHD event we tried to make a difference! And we will continue to 'Make A Difference', no matter how small the difference is!

The world has many problems and many philanthropists are throwing money to organize people and resources to manage these problems ... Comparing to them, we pale in our scale and resources, but our hearts shine! Thus, the 2 mins peace silence marked another collective mass observation for Harmony and unity.
