The owner of the studio (Sarma M.) welcomed Sri Chinmoy and all the visitors. Sarma had given yoga and relaxation classes at the UN and a number of Peace Meditation group members had also taken classes with her at the UN or  other locations.

Sri Chinmoy had often encouraged Sarma in her work and efforts to assist others. Whenever her teaching schedule permitted, Sarma would also attend the regular peace meditations at the UN and elsewhere that Sri Chinmoy led.
