SPIRITUAL MUSICIANS EXCHANGE NOTES FROM THE HEART

JAMAICA, NY — Sri Chinmoy and Paul Horn offered concerts for one another on May 11 in a musical exchange from the heart.

Sri Chinmoy performed in the afternoon, and then lifted the flautist, who is known for his spiritual-musical odessys around the world.

Later, the musician said, “I have received a few honors and awards in my lifetime, but this is by far the most wonderful and most appreciated, coming from a man ... who is music itself and who wants a oneness-community in the world.”

That evening, the flautist gave a one-man concert of meditative music for Sri Chinmoy, his students and invited guests.

In introducing this concert, Sri Chinmoy said: “Your sublime flute music is born inside the silent depth of your meditation ... and transports your listeners far beyond this mortal world into the very heart of silence.”
