Members of the Peace Meditation Group were able to accompany Sri Chinmoy, as he embarked on a major peace tour of East and West Germany during February 1990. Concerts were held in Nuremberg on the 18th and in Hannover on the 20th.
- On the 21st Sri Chimoy offered an afternoon concert in West Berlin’s city library and an evening concert at ICC Messedamm.
- The following day 22 Feb, he went to Leipzig, East Germany, where he lifted the director of the Bach Museum- Lothar Wittke-and gave a peace concert in the Leipzig Opera House.
On the 23rd of February 1990 there was a peace-mile ceremony near the wall in East Berlin.
Sri Chinmoy slowly walked the course in a meditative consciousness while his students and others followed.
- That afternoon he lifted two East German athletes: world canoeing champion Birgit Schmidt and horse-vault champion Jorg Behrand. The tour ended with an evening peace concert in East Berlin’s Kongresshalle.
At its conclusion he declared:
“Your (East and West Germany) inseparable oneness in the inner world and in the outer world is the absolute victory of our transcendental Lord Supreme.”
– extract from Anahata Nada -(Dec 1989 – Mar 1990)
