EAST AND WEST – Original Audio Recording by Sri Chinmoy In February 1965, Sri Chinmoy was interviewed on a New York City radio station, during which he read a short message. This is the earliest known recording of Sri Chinmoy, made just ten months after his arrival in the West, at the age of 33. Here, Sri Chinmoy shares his spiritual optimism for the union of East and West: “Across all physical and conventional barriers between East and West, high above national standards, above even individual standards, will fly the supreme banner of Divine Oneness.” These prophetic words were published six months later as an essay in the first issue of AUM Magazine in August 1965. |

OUR PATH – Original Audio Recording by Sri Chinmoy “Our path is basically the path of the heart and not that of the mind. This does not mean that I am criticising the path of the mind. Far from it. We feel, that the path of the heart leads us faster towards our goal.” These are the immortal words of Sri Chinmoy as he spoke to members of his newly formed London Centre on November 21, 1970. It is unquestionably one of Sri Chinmoy’s most important talks. The power and conviction of Sri Chinmoy’s voice in this original recording is as accessible and inspiring today as it was all those decades ago. This is the first in a series of Rare Recordings of impromptu talks, formal lectures, and radio interviews that will be published on Sri Chinmoy Reflections over the coming months. |

Reflections on Meditation Inspired by his spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy, award-winning writer Alan Spence considers the meaning of meditation and its practice from a Hindu perspective. The nice thing about being up early in the morning is the stillness, the silence. The hustle of the day hasn't really started, and it's a good time to just sit, quiet and meditate. My spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy — a man I've known for over 30 years — expresses it beautifully: “Meditation is silence, energising and fulfilling. Silence is the eloquent expression of the inexpressible.” Read more from the BBC... |
