The United Nations Meditation Room was first opened on October 14, 1952. The existence of this room was a hard won battle by a group that also saw to it that there would be a moment of silence at the beginning and closing of each General Assembly—a tradition continued to this day.

The original meditation room was later transformed by Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld who served as the United Nations Secretary-General from 1953-1961—his term being cut short by a tragic airplane crash while on a peace mission in the Congo, which killed him and his staff on 18 September 1961.

Because of his published journal, Markings, where we get a glimpse into his inner life, Dag Hammarskjöld has been referred to as a modern day Mystic. He recognized and articulated the need for spirituality to be at the center of the United Nations and he is often quoted as saying that world peace would not occur without a spiritual renaissance on our planet.
