Sri Chinmoy:
The Peace Meditation at the United Nations

On 28 September 19 77, Mayor Beame was special guest at the Jharna-Kala [Fountain-Art] Gallery, where he was honoured with a song, which Sri Chinmoy had composed about him, as well as a plaque praising him for his life of public service. Sri Chinmoy, who had met the Mayor on two previous occasions, also painted an original Jharna-Kala while the Mayor watched and presented it to him as a gift.

Sri Chinmoy greets Mayor Beame at the Jharna Kala Gallery.

Mayor Beame: Thank you. May I say something? I’m very deeply moved by this presentation and I want to say that I could have used a lot of these moments of meditation during these last months and years. And I certainly didn’t think, the first day I met you, that I’d ever have the pleasure of meeting you again tonight.

I want to thank you very much for your kindness and your warmth and your expressions. I appreciate it and I want to thank everybody here as well. (Applause)
