Join Weekly Meditation Sessions from Anywhere 

The weekly silent meditations at UN Headquarters in New York nourish members and energize their activities. Some value the experience even when serving elsewhere.”

“It always encouraged me to know that, wherever I was serving, you were silently offering your aspirations in New York and around the world for humanity’s future.  

“Even when I was not able to attend personally, I did often feel supported by this good will toward the work my colleagues and I in the diplomatic and secretariat communities were undertaking. 

 The necessity of telecommuting may mean that those who normally have access to UN Headquarters will at times be unable to physically attend the weekly peace meditations. In those cases, joining in spirit is an excellent option.  Inner commitment and supportive intentions are not bound by time or location. 

 This opportunity is also available to those who do not have access to the UN grounds but who, in their hearts, are eager to add their spiritual support to the ideals of the UN.  

In cities and countries around the world, like-minded peace-lovers could, at least once a week, think of the UN, the delegates and the staff, and focus on the feeling of oneness. One could join with friends or remain in solitude and pray, meditate or contemplate for the collective progress of humanity’s peace-servers. 

When Sri Chinmoy was not present at a weekly meeting, a simple photograph of him in a contemplative state served as reminder of the concentration and meditation he demonstrated. The meditation group has continued this tradition and welcome all to meditate in their preferred way, respecting the silence. 

Sri Chinmoy poetically referred to the UN as “The Heart-Home of the World Body”. UN servers need your prayers, meditations and good intentions to succeed in keeping this heart of oneness beating ever more powerfully. Please support initiatives that bring us closer to a “Oneness-World”.  Share excerpts of Sri Chinmoy’s insightful answers to practical questions about serving  posed by UN staff and delegates. Highlight talks delivered at the UN, in which he encouraged deeper understanding and progress.  Programmes or events based on the inspired guidance provided are rich resources to complement  meditations and inspire dedicated activities, .

Whatever your position, be it lofty or modest, continue in your day-to-day efforts to support what Sri Chinmoy called the “Soul of the –United Nations” in its quest for a oneness-world .
