AUSTRIAN MPs HONOR SPIRITUAL LEADER

VIENNA — Six Members of the Austrian Parliament presented Sri Chinmoy with the “Austria — Heart of Europe Award” on Oct. 4 at a ceremony at the banquet hall of the Vienna Borse.

“Because of your initiatives there is less suffering and more peace in our world,” said Mrs. Herta Wimmer, MP when presenting the Award.

After the presentation, a group of children gave Sri Chinmoy a huge cake resembling a topographical map of Austria, and the spiritual teacher made the first ceremonial cut.
