7. Presentation of Pegasus Award to Sri Chinmoy

Dr G Mend-Ooyo: (President of the Mongolian Academy of Culture and Poetry, as translated): Highly esteemed Sri Chinmoy, you took us into Saraswati's and the Gita's high Heaven. Thank you for this golden opportunity. Your talk was a powerful bird which took us to the highest height. On behalf of the whole audience, we wish you the best, and we wish you further success in your endeavours.

I am delighted to offer a very special award to highly esteemed Sri Chinmoy. The name of the award is "Pegasus" (Ecstasy-Horse). This decision was taken unanimously by the board of the Academy of Culture and Poetry today. Let me read out the proclamation:

> Mongolia's highest award for culture and poetry, Pegasus, is presented to Sri Chinmoy for his extraordinary contribution to world peace and to mankind's spiritual enlightenment.

> May your brilliant words and your genius soar like the legendary winged horse in the eternal sky of the four corners of the globe.

> And may they be glorified for centuries to come.

> Dr. Mend-Ooyo

> President of the Mongolian Academy of Culture and Poetry

[Dr. Mend-Ooyo presented the framed proclamation, and a small child smilingly offered a bouquet of flowers to Sri Chinmoy.]

Sri Chinmoy: [following sustained applause]: My esteemed brother-friend

Dr. Mend-Ooyo, President of the Mongolian Academy of Culture and Poetry, I shall treasure this signal award in the inmost recesses of my heart, and I wish to thank you from my heart's very depths. Please accept my heart's deepest and deepest gratitude, gratitude and gratitude.

Dr Mend-Ooyo: Dear Sri Chinmoy, we would like to wish you success in all your upcoming events within the cultural days of the "World-Oneness-Heart-Song in Mongolian Life." And we would like to wish that you become acquainted with Mongolian cultural tradition and the life of the Mongolian people.

Sri Chinmoy: Thank you.
