Sri Chinmoy receives a medallion honouring his service to the New York community from New York City Council President Paul O’Dwyer on 8 December 1975. In a letter to Sri Chinmoy following the presentation, O’Dwyer wrote, “I shall not easily forget the time Sri Chinmoy paid a call to my office … For a brief moment the simple reverence of Sri Chinmoy brought peace and tranquillity to a place of turmoil. Many visitors have come and gone, but none made such a lasting impression.”
