A MEAL THAT TRAVELLED ROUND THE WORLD

 

JAMAICA, N.Y. — Sri Chinmoy cooked a 22-course meal March 15 to honour the third anniversary of Annam Brahma restaurant.

He began cooking at one o'clock in the morning and finished nearly 14 hours later.

Dinners were sent air express to disciples around the world, who ordered them from as far away as Europe and Australia. Some 265 meals were sent to distant Centres, and about 200 were consumed that day in the restaurant.

Sri Chinmoy embarked on the project as a fund-raising effort for the restaurant, which Nishtha took over three years ago.
