Question: Is there an art form that is intimately tied to the soul of America, such as music is associated with Germany?
Sri Chinmoy: Yes. There is an art form that is intimately tied to the soul of America, and that is America’s untiring inner and outer efforts to grow into a supreme God-seeker, a supreme peace-lover and a supreme satisfaction-distributor to humanity.
Sri Chinmoy, The Bicentennial Flames at the United Nations, Agni Press, 1976
