Sri Chinmoy:
The Peace Meditation at the United Nations

The 1986 U Thant Peace Award was presented Nov. 6 to Russell Barber, producer and host of a local television show on world spirituality and religion.

“In you we see and feel at every moment a oneness-heart and a oneness- world-home,” said Sri Chinmoy, as he made the presentation on U Thant Island across from the U.N.

Barber said he was especially pleased to receive the award “for it is given by a great man of peace, Sri Chinmoy, in the name of another great man of peace, U Thant . . . “It is said that . . . what you become is your gift to God. I hope that what I become is as pleasing a gift to God as I know are the lives of U Thant and Sri Chinmoy .”
