Sri Chinmoy 24/12 hour run
VS. It stopped raining just a few minutes before the start at 12 noon. A dry stretch, as well as cool temperatures, ensured the best running conditions for the 83 runners from 14 countries at the ninth international Sri Chinmoy 24/12-hour run in Basel.
This is how Hans-Peter Brönnimann from Riehen, who started the run too quickly last year and had to give up early, succeeded this time in a super performance: With 257.3 kilometres, run with the consistency and precision of a Swiss clockwork, he set a new all-comers record (longstanding old record by Aribert Hannappel; 244 kilometres) and stayed just under 3 kilometres below the course record. He won with ease in front of the Berliner Thomas Kabuss, with 224 kilometres a total of 33 kilometres behind him! Third place went to Milan Furin from Slovakia with 220.2 kilometres. Jean-Claude Jamin from Tri Team Bern was the second Swiss to take sixth place in the main class (seventh place overall).
In the women’s category, Ursula Alder from Wald also set a new Swiss record with 190.3 (old record by Tarangini Westreicher: 186 kilometres), which, however, was only enough for third place in the main class after the two Germans Inge Ludwig with 203.2 kilometres and Heike Pawzik from Berlin with 201 kilometres.

A talk by Sri Chinmoy
in the Dag Hammarskjöld Library Auditorium at the United Nations, New York
Dear seekers, every Friday we meditate in one of the conference rooms here, and offer our aspiration to the soul of the United Nations. I wish to invite the United Nations members who are present today to come and meditate with us. This meditation is not only for the United Nations but for the world at large. This meditation is for the God-lover and the man-lover. If we really love God, and if we really love mankind and consciously believe that we are responsible for mankind, then we feel that our aspiration and dedication to the soul of the United Nations and our Inner Pilot is of paramount importance.
Please feel that it is your own aspiration that will expedite the vision for the United Nations. And when the vision is transformed into reality, the Inner Pilot will know our contribution whether or not the world ever recognises it. Our contribution, which is our aspiration, cannot be measured by money-power or any kind of world-power. It can be measured only by God’s Love-power, His Concern-power, His Confidence-power.

Question: How does the Supreme see the United Nations?
Sri Chinmoy: The Supreme sees the United Nations as a thoughtful experience and a soulful hope.
Question: What is the supreme role of each individual nation vis-à-vis the United Nations?
Sri Chinmoy: The supreme role of each individual nation is to maintain a genuine faith in the United Nations and implicitly abide by the United Nations Charter.
Question: On what principles should the United Nations be unyielding and uncompromising?
Sri Chinmoy: When ignorance wants to lord it over the United Nations, naturally the soul of the United Nations cannot and will not surrender or compromise.
