PEACE CONCERT HELD AT UNITED NATIONS
UNITED NATIONS — Sri Chinmoy offered a Peace Concert for the Millennium in the Dag Hammarskjold Auditorium here on April 17.
Special guests included Roberto Cantoral, President of the Society of Authors and Composers of Music of Mexico, who presented Sri Chinmoy with a Heart of Gold. The Society had named Sri Chinmoy a recipient of its Heart of Gold Award at ceremonies in Mexico City Jan. 21, but the Award presentation took place at the UN.
Cantoral cited Sri Chinmoy’s “untiring struggle for world peace, manifested through concerts and other events throughout the globe,” as well as the other “humanitarian and selfless causes which he pursues.”
Sri Chinmoy said: “I wish this heart of gold to grow inside my prayerful heart so that my heart will be as beautiful, as pure and as divine as your blessingful offering to me today.”
