In honour of the Fiftieth Anniversary
of the United Nations, Sri Chinmoy travelled
throughout the length and breadth
of the world during 1995 to offer 50 free
Peace Concerts of his own soul-stirring
compositions. Countless lovers and dreamers of
peace attended the series, and many spoke
most eloquently about the profound impact
which Sri Chinmoy’s meditative music had on
their lives. As well, leaders from all walks
of life lovingly offered their unreserved
encouragement and appreciation to
Sri Chinmoy, who has led twice-weekly
Peace Meditations at the United Nations for
the past 25 years – half the life of the UN.
Following are some selected comments
gathered from letters, speeches and meetings
over the past year.
