Purushottama was accompanied by his wife, Irina Bhuvaneshwari, and their daughter, Samragyi, as well as Bhuvaneshwari’s sister, who was also visiting New York at that time.On 26 August, Sri Chinmoy presented the U Thant Peace Award to Purushottama. Purushottama kindly performed for Sri Chinmoy’s students on several occasions, including on Sri Chinmoy’s birthday on 27 August. On 28 August Sri Chinmoy lifted Purushottama and his wife as part of the Lifting Up the World with a Oneness-Heart programme. One of the high-lights of the Celebration was a concert Purushottama offered at the United Nations on 29 August, at Sri Chinmoy’s invitation.
