INTRODUCTORY NOTE

For the past few years Sri Chinmoy Meditation at the United Nations has been hosting a series of programmes honouring individual nations on the anniversaries of their acceptance as Member States of the United Nations or on their national days. These programmes are designed to provide an opportunity for United Nations delegates and staff to become better acquainted with the unique national character of each Member State. In an inspirational and cultural atmosphere Ambassadors and Representatives offer brief remarks about their countries and the meaning for them of membership in the United Nations.

Usually held in the Dag Hammarskjold Auditorium, the celebrations are often enhanced with music and entertaining and educational film or slide presentations, and close with the singing of the national anthem. This ‘issue of our Bulletin contains excerpts from several recent programmes at the United Nations honouring Member States. It also documents some of our related meetings and activities which, by focusing on individual countries, have hopefully helped to further international understanding and friendship.
*
At the back of the magazine are questions and answers relating to the United Nations and meditation philosophy, which are a regular feature of the bulletin. In this issue the questions and answers concern nationalism, internationalism and the United Nations.
