The Human Being Should Always Stay Moving
Mayrhofen “Big M” of the Zillertal
In summer 1993 the Bengali “peace philosopher” Sri Chinmoy, was a guest in Mayrhofen, who had already initiated world peace runs and peace meditations too, and who dedicates buildings of nature and of human beings all over the world to the cause of peace: part of it are the Niagara Falls, the Rhine Bridge in Vaduz, Matterhorn, Zugspitze and also the Canadian city Ottawa.
“If we can open the right paths inside, peace can be felt here and now,” the sage from the Far East formulated mysteriously and christened the Zillertalbahn to the name Zillertal Peace Railway.
The painting in the waiting-room, that the artist Toni Krauss painted for this event, shows peace doves below beaming sunshine and cheerful flower clouds, who blow their breath into the funnel of the locomotive, there passengers of different colours, which pushes the train in additions…
