Inspired by the observance of a “Minute of Silent Prayer or Meditation” at the opening of each United Nations General Assembly,  there was a special programme to commemorate the opening of the thirtieth session of the General Assembly, in a spirit of rededication to the lofty aims and ideals of the United Nations. The programme, which was held in Conference Room 3 on Friday, September 12, 1975, was attended by delegates, Secretariat staff members and NGO representatives.

  • Sri Chinmoy opened the programme with a silent meditation.

Statement by Secretary-General Waldheim For commemorative programme .

Singing the song “O United Nations” which Sri Chinmoy recently wrote in dedication to the United Nations:

O United Nations, O U.N.
You are the world-body
Crying for the world-soul.
And you are the earth-life
Longing for oneness-goal.

In the heart of your glowing dream,
Big brothers and brothers small
Shall smile, sing and dance –
O Vision-Perfection in all.

Choral reading based on excerpts from the writings of past Secretaries-General of the United Nations:

  • Trygve Lie
  • U Thant
  • Dag Hammarskjold

In conclusion, silent rededication to the highest goals of the United Nations
