  • The trip was highlighted by a meeting with President Lopez Portillo at the presidential residence, Los Pinos, on 22 December.
  • Sri Chinmoy presented the Mexican leader with a plaque, and the meditation group singers performed a song about Mexico which Sri Chinmoy had composed in the President’s honour. The piece was arranged by French composer Olivier Grief for the occasion.
  • The trip also included three public races and concerts in Mazatlan and Acapulco, where Sri Chinmoy received special plaques or certificates from the Mayors.

  • Song:

Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico l

Softness, boldness, your beauty’s core.
Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico!
Wisdom-freedom your oneness-lore.
Your past, present, future: all angel-glow
Your vision-eye a sleepless river-flow.
