The Severn-Wye Bridge, uniting England and Wales, is inaugurated as a Sri Chinmoy Peace-Bridge in Aust, Southern Gloucestershire, England, UK.
President Bill Clinton shakes hands with Sri Chinmoy during a meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas. The President thanks Sri Chinmoy for the gift of a song he had composed about him. The previous day, November 14, Sri Chinmoy’s students sang the song as the President was leaving the Governor’s Mansion for his morning jog.
Commenting on Sri Chinmoy’s passing in October 2007:
“Throughout his many years, he enriched the lives of countless others and served as a model of generosity and discipline to those he met, fostering an atmosphere of compassion, harmony, and unity.... His legacy of kindness, reflection, and resolve will endure for many years to come.” — Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States
