  • On the 21st Sri Chimoy offered an afternoon concert in West Berlin’s city library and an evening concert at ICC Messedamm.
  • The following day 22 Feb, he went to Leipzig, East Germany, where he lifted the director of the Bach Museum- Lothar Wittke-and gave a peace concert in the Leipzig Opera House.

  • That afternoon he lifted two East German athletes: world canoeing champion Birgit Schmidt and horse-vault champion Jorg Behrand. The tour ended with an evening peace concert in East Berlin’s Kongresshalle.

At its conclusion he declared:

“Your (East and West Germany) inseparable oneness in the inner world and in the outer world is the absolute victory of our transcendental Lord Supreme.”
