To celebrate America’s 200th birthday, Sri Chinmoy holds a 13-hour public meditation for the Soul of America at the 72nd Street Bandshell in New York City’s Central Park. The meditation begins at midnight on July 4th and ends late in the afternoon. It is the first overnight event the Police Department had ever permitted in Central Park.

O My America

 

May America the Beautiful forever
shine bright-brighter-brightest in the Heart of
God the Creator and God the creation.

— Sri Chinmoy
