Sri Chinmoy has his first meeting with Kurt Waldheim, United Nations Secretary-General, and receives the UN Silver Medallion, at the United Nations in New York.
Sri Chinmoy lifts Muhammad Ali’s daughter Khaliah Ali at Aspiration-Ground in Jamaica, New York.
Sri Chinmoy tells her:
“In 1976 I met with your father for the first time in Puerto Rico. He went there to fight. Naturally, he won. Since then, he has been so kind to me.”
Khaliah responds:
“I am completely overwhelmed with gratitude. I thank you so very much. I am so deeply touched.”
