About Sri Chinmoy

Sri Chinmoy was born in Chittagong, East Bengal (Now Bangladesh) in 1931.
At an early age his parents died, and shortly after this Chinmoy, with his brothers and sisters, moved to the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, South India.
Here Sri Chinmoy engaged deeply in meditation and spiritual activities, attaining a high state of Self - Realisation, or awareness of one’s true divine nature.

To promote greater oneness and harmony in the world, Sri Chinmoy offered weekly prayers and meditations at the United Nations for 37 years.
During his lifetime, Sri Chinmoy met with many world leaders, such as Michael Gorbachev, John Paul II and Mother Teresa; he explained that these meetings inspired one another to carry on their work for world harmony.

Poems from Sri Chinmoy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because of its lack of wisdom,
A snake drinks milk
And emits poison.
Because of his vast wisdom,
A saint drinks poison
And offers milk.
This is wisdom in oneness,
Wisdom in perfection,
Wisdom in God-satisfaction.
All of us must act like a saint.

My ignorance thunders:
You are nothing, I am everything.
My knowledge declares:
You know something,
But I know much more.
My wisdom whispers:
You and I know nothing of everything
On earth,
And everything of nothing
In Heaven.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friendship is based on forgiveness.
Today if your friend has done something wrong,you have to forgive her immediately by thinking that you could have made the same mistake.
If she has been nasty to you today, you have to forgive her immediately.
Tomorrow you may be in the same position - you could be nasty to her.
So if you forgive her when she is nasty, then if a day comes when you are equally nasty, she will forgive you.Good qualities eventually come for ward.Good qualities will not remain dormant forever and forever.

THE SUN IS DANCING

The sun is dancing,
The moon is dancing,
The stars are dancing.
I am dancing this moment
With the sun, moon and stars.
Next moment I am sailing
With the sky.
The sky makes me feel
That I am the vastness of Infinity’s Heart;
The sun, moon and stars make me feel
That God’s creation is for ecstasy’s beginningless birth
And endless journey.
