She received the “Lifting Up the World with a Oneness-Heart” Award from Sri Chinmoy.

in a beautiful sunny room of the UN Plaza Hotel.

The Choir of the Peace Meditation at the United Nations  performed.

Sri Chinmoy’s second meeting of the day was with the pioneer fitness, diet and weight loss expert, Jenny Craig. A household name in both the USA and in  Australia where she began her weight loss centres in 1983, Jenny Craig has helped millions of men and women to transform their lives.

She was visiting New York for the release of her new book, The Jenny Craig Story.

Sri Chinmoy had composed a special song for her celebrating her most significant contributions to the betterment of humanity.

This meeting also took place in the Perez de Cuellar room at the Millennium U.N. Plaza Hotel from where the city of Manhattan could be seen spread out under an ever-thickening white mantle of snow.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so deeply honoured and touched by this whole procedure. I’m just overwhelmed. And I want to thank each and every one of you for coming, especially in this weather.

I truly appreciate it. And I want you to know that this award stands for everything that
I believe in: inner peace and helping each person to be the very best that they can be, and all of us working together to make the world a little better place.

Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
