Sri Chinmoy begins a project to lift 1,000 lambs as part of his ‘Lifting Up the World with a Oneness-Heart’ programme. On his first lifting day, he lifts 100 three-month-old Romney Cross lambs (1-100) at the Agriculture Research farm in Whatawhata, New Zealand. Lifting four lambs at a time, he performs 25 lifts in less than one hour, for a total weight of 8,713 lbs.
“The Saviour Christ had a very special affection, love and fondness, for lambs. If I can identify myself with the heart of the lamb, then I feel I am coming closer to God. We all want to be God’s lamb-children.” — Sri Chinmoy
