 At  the  second  on  20  March,  United  Nations  diplomats  and  staff  met  in  the  Dag  Hammarskjold  Auditorium  at  United  Nations  Headquarters  in  New  York.  

Featured  in  both  programmes  were  songs  Sri  Chinmoy  had  dedicated  to  Einstein,  several  composed  to  the  words  of  the  scientist .
