FORMER U.N. LEADER PRAISES SRI CHINMOY

 

Former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations C. V. Narasimhan had high words of praise for Sri Chinmoy when he spoke at the Master’s U.N. peace concert Dec. 6.

Sri Chinmoy had asked Narasimhan to come up and say a few words about U Thant, under whom he had served as Chef de Cabinet. Instead, the former U.N. leader spoke about Sri Chinmoy, who has been offering twice-weekly meditations at the U.N. since 1970.

Narasimhan said Sri Chinmoy “is one of the most remarkable human beings I have ever met, and I have met many remarkable human beings.”

1993 CALLED A SPIRITUAL TURNING POINT

 

At his annual New Year’s concert on Dec. 9 at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, Sri Chinmoy offered this message for 1993:

God is dreaming,
Newness singing,
Oneness blossoming,
Fulness dancing.

Hope no more gropes.
Life without slopes.
Splendid depths and heights
Transform bondage-nights.

Later in the month, he elaborated on the message, saying “God has taken many, many years to create...this particular year.”

For centuries, he said, the mind-power has dominated, “but now the mind-power is surrendering to the heart-power” and “brightness and luminosity have already started blossoming.”

From now on, he continued, “we will only see the song and dance of the divine forces. The undivine forces are exhausted. They have already started surrendering to the divine forces and they are ready to abide by the will of the divine forces.”

GURU CALLS 1997 A TURNING POINT

 

NEW YORK — At his Dec. 7 Peace Concert at Hunter College, Sri Chinmoy offered his annual New Year’s Message, calling 1997 an inner turning point in humanity’s progress toward world peace.

“The slow and long years of humanity’s hope-heart shall begin to transform into humanity’s fulfilment-life,” he said.

“The beauty of world peace was a sweet dream. The fragrance of world peace shall begin to become a fruitful reality.”
