Photographs from meeting, part III

Narada Michael Walden reads a letter of congratulations to Sri Chinmoy from the Speaker of the House in Malta. Malta was the first nation to become a Sri Chinmoy Peace-Blossom-Nation. The inauguration ceremony was held in Malta on 19 May 1998.

Sudhahota Carl Lewis reads out a most treasured letter to Sri Chinmoy from Comrade Jacob Zuma, Deputy President of the African National Congress and Minister of Economic Affairs and Tourism for KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This letter declares South Africa to be a Sri Chinmoy Peace-Blossom-Nation, with the full blessings and support of President Nelson Mandela.

Sri Chinmoy’s disciples of African origin, together with other singers, gather on stage to sing Sri Chinmoy’s song, “Africa.” He composed this song in 1986, long before the end of the apartheid era. Its words, specially “Soon, very soon, you will fly,” have proven to be deeply prophetic.
