Some times members of National Parliaments have first heard of Sri Chinmoy at Peace and Harmony Run country or regional events on their continent. Later some were serving at the United Nations in NY where at Peace Meditation group activities they shared their earlier involvement in events related to the runs in various parts of the world.  Others first heard of events when they were in New York because of their personal interst in meditation or when they represented their delegation  at the opening and closing events for the runs. In either case all appreciated their joining  peace, harmony and oneness events in keeping with the values of UN Organizations and those working to strengthen a Culture of Peace throughout the UN community and wider world..
