Letter

Sri Chinmoy Center, New York

Moscow, August 2004

Dear Sri Chinmoy,

From the bottom of my heart I wish you a Happy Birthday, good health and more successes in your noble activities for peace and humanism.

Communicating with you always gives me much joy. It is with great pleasure that I recall our recent meeting in Moscow, our sincere conversations and your readiness to support the work of Russian humanitarian organizations, including our Foundation.

Your recent trip to Moscow and your appearances at well-known centers of learning made a great impression on our public. Your activities, which are buttressed by the United Nations authority, are taking on an increasingly important international significance.

I embrace you, dear friend, and once again wish you all the best.

Yours,

Mikhail Gorbachev
