Fremont Becomes ‘Center of the Universe for World Harmony’
At a gorgeous dedication ceremony held at 1p on Sunday, November 7, 2010, a new piece of art joined the legend of Fremont. Titled ‘Dreamer of World Peace’ and sculpted by Kaivalya Torpy, the bronze statue commemorates Sri Chinmoy, a life-long ambassador for peace and world harmony. This is the seventh such statue installed around the world, and the first ever installed in the contiguous United States. The statue stands along the Burke-Gilman Trail, between the Aurora and Fremont bridges, with Lake Union just at its back, and will be maintained by History House of Greater Seattle.
