GAMBIAN LEADER LIFTED
JAMAICA, NY — Sri Chinmoy lifted Vice President Isatou Njie-Saidy of the Gambia, two of her country’s Ministers and several members of the Gambian delegation accompanying her during a visit to Aspiration-Ground March 7.
We will leave here “with our spirits lifted high,” she said afterwards, as “ambassadors of Sri Chinmoy, so that we can pass on that same spirit to the rest of society.”
She promised that she and her colleagues would “take it upon ourselves to ensure that we deserve” the ‘Lifting Up the World with a Oneness-Heart’ Award she received from the spiritual leader.
Sri Chinmoy told her, “With your inner spirit and outer enthusiasm, readiness, willingness and eagerness, you are going to ... change soon the face and fate of the world.”
