Sri Chinmoy Quoted By Governor Paterson at 9/11 Ceremony

About the author:

Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.

Following is the entire text of New York State Governor Paterson's address at the 9/11 Day of Remembrance:

“Born in India, the American author Sri Chinmoy once penned that:

Hope
Knows no fear.

Hope dares to blossom
Even inside the abysmal abyss.

Hope secretly feeds
And strengthens
Promise.”

The ABC video shows this address at the 3:50 minute mark.
