7 Million Birds Painted
New York — The New York-based artist, musician and peace philosopher Sri Chinmoy has reached his goal: He just completed his seven millionth "Dream-Freedom-Peace-Bird". The native Indian painted over 200,000 of his birds in the shape of coloured line drawings in four days only on his peace concert-journey for the 50th anniversary of Indian Independence in Augsburg and Rome in March. Amongst the personalities, who congratulated him for his project, are Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela.
