21 October 1991, before the United Nations Day Concert at New York headquarters, the General Director of the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Shigeto Kanayama, spoke with Sri Chinmoy about his orchestra’s work and the role of music in creating peace in the world. “You have been working toward world peace through meditation,” Mr. Kanayama told Sri Chinmoy. “We respect your activities very much. We also tour around the world as missionaries for peace, so we have the same purpose, the same goal as you do. ”

Sri Chinmoy replied, “I am so happy that we are all in the same boat. We are all brothers and sisters, belonging to the same family. I have been to your country quite a few times, and I have such love and admiration for Japan.”
