Meditation Leader Honored By Congress
Appreciation from 12 U.S. Senators and Members of Congress have been read into the Congressional Record honoring Sri Chinmoy’s 50th birthday year.
In remarks delivered last week, Sen. Paul Tsongas (D-MA) lauded the leader for his many contributions saying “Sports enthusiast, artist, musician, poet, and Director of a Meditation Group at the United Nations, Sri Chinmoy in a very brief period has accomplished more than most people do in a lifetime.”
Benjamin Rosenthal (D-NY) and Geraldine Ferraro (D-NY) were among those members of Congress who detailed in their remarks, programs for world betterment that they had co-sponsored or appeared at jointly with Sri Chinmoy.
The spiritual leader, a columnist for the New York Voice, was also cited by Congressman Joseph Addabbo (D-NY) as “one of the world’s foremost authorities on Eastern philosophy.”
