Sri Chinmoy offers a Peace Concert, the second of 39 Peace Concerts dedicated to Swami Vivekananda’s 39 years on earth, in Jamaica, New York.
Sri Chinmoy’s Peace Concert dedication:
As you know, we have started observing Swami Vivekananda's centenary — not his birth centenary, but the centenary of the World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago. It was one hundred years ago that Vivekananda became the supreme hero of the Parliament. It is my wish to offer thirty-nine Peace Concerts and dedicate them to him. He lived for thirty-nine years, and I wish to observe each year of his earthly existence by offering him, his immortal soul, a Peace Concert.
