Daily weblog of a visit to see Sri Chinmoy, my spiritual Master

In November 2006, I went to New York for 10 days or so to see my spiritual master, Sri Chinmoy. I generally do this three times a year, staying for periods ranging from 10 days to three weeks. There are usually hundreds of Sri Chinmoy's students visiting the same time as I am, so there is a tremendous atmosphere of enthusiasm and joy in addition to the inner peace from the meditations.



It has always struck me how few accounts there are available describing time spent with contemporary spiritual teachers like Sri Chinmoy. When I was just embarking upon this spiritual path, I was tremendously inspired by books like The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna and other stories of great teachers as told by their students. By no means do I fancy myself as another M. (the author of the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna) but I thought perhaps since I visit my own teacher quite a lot, perhaps I could write down some of my experiences and impressions.





So here it is, a couple of months later (it kind of drifted to the back of my priority list) For me personally, it's nice to have something like this to read over and reawaken in my heart the nice experiences I had. The daily weblog of my 2006 visit is on my blog at the Sri Chinmoy Centre website; I hope that they can give the reader some inspiration in his or her own search for fulfillment in life.
