The Very Rev. James Parks Morton makes the first awards speech of the night. ICNY honors His Holiness Sri Swami Satchidananda as an interfaith visionary who served as a dynamic advocate for world peace. An interfaith pioneer, he participated in and organized gatherings and seminars; created innovative programs, retreats, and worship services; and built the Light Of Truth Universal Shrine. Though His Holiness passed away in 2002, his life and teachings continue to inspire and guide thousands worldwide. Later in the video, Dean Morton introduces Dr. Dean Ornish, who is accepting the award on behalf of Swami Satchidananda’s dedicated followers.
