Mayor Enrique Tierno Galvan of Madrid on Dec 21, hosted a reception at his headquarters for Sri Chinmoy and his students which included members of the Peace Meditation group at the UN. The Mayor was rewarded with a song in his honour. .
“We have great admiration for your work,” the Mayor told Sri Chinmoy, saying that the Master’s teachings “are helping all of humanity.”
He presented the Master with a Proclamation declaring him a “Friend of the City of Madrid” and a book of Spanish poems and paintings.
“I am extremely grateful and honoured to be here receiving your blessingful light for our peace mission on earth,” the spiritual teacher said.
Then, deeply moved by his conversation with Tierno Galvan, Sri Chinmoy sat down and composed a song dedicated to him-while the Mayor waited.
The Master’s students learned the song on the spot and sang it to Tierno Galvan. “Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous-in such a short time!” the delighted Mayor exclaimed.
