On 13 September 1985, an exhibition of Sri Chinmoy's Jharna-Kala art was held at the Jharna-Kala Gallery in Soho Gallery, New York. United Nations representatives from over 40 countries attended the exhibition, which included songs dedicated to peace and the UN, art, and a short meditation with Sri Chinmoy.

“I support wholeheartedly Sri Chinmoy’s efforts at the United Nations to establish world peace. I was so happy to be able to host the reception tonight at a gallery exhibiting Sri Chinmoy’s paintings, to welcome diplomats of the Fortieth Session of the General Assembly. It was an unforgettable experience!”
