Sri Chinmoy offers a Peace Concert in honour of the 78th Birthday of Pope Paul II, at the Church of Santa Maria in Campo Santo in Vatican City.

“I dedicated this concert to the Holy Father:

“We are praying to the Holy Father to bless us all on this most auspicious occasion. May his Birthday illumine each and every human being on earth. I pray to our Absolute Lord Supreme, out of His infinite Bounty, to keep the Holy Father in the physical body for quite a few years more. Each day the Holy Father brings to the world a new hope and a new promise for the betterment of humanity. May we all feel our Holy Father's blessingful presence as we dedicate, prayerfully and soulfully, our Peace Concert to him.”
