Sri Chinmoy meets with Ron Clarke — Australian Olympic middle-distance runner and former holder of 17 world records — in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. Sri Chinmoy also composed a song dedicated to the great champion the day before the meeting.
Excerpt from a letter in 1999:
“I have extremely fond memories of my meeting with Sri Chinmoy in 1976. In the intervening 23 years, his work for peace has shown how one person can have such a positive and profound effect on so many people’s lives.” — Ron Clarke
