Sri Chinmoy meets with Consul General Lakhan L. Mehrotra (his former boss at the Indian Consulate in New York) at the Indian Consulate in San Francisco, California. The Consul General and his wife soulfully accept Sri Chinmoy’s gift of one of his Jharna-Kala paintings.

“I felt deeply inspired by the spiritual atmosphere generated by you and your devotees ... and wish to congratulate you for your growing achievement in bringing the message of India to the distant shores of America in the tradition of Swami Vivekananda.”  — L.L. Mehrotra
