Sri Chinmoy is hailed by five weightlifting and bodybuilding champions of the past after he lifts them and many others during an evening weightlifting demonstration called ‘Lifting Up the World with a Oneness-Heart: The Body’s Fitness-Gong and The Soul’s Fulness-Song’ at York College in Jamaica, Queens, New York. During the event, Sri Chinmoy lifts a total weight of 92,985 lbs.
Master of ceremonies Bill Pearl, five-time Mr. Umverse, said:
"He wasn't lifting with his body but with his heart."
