Sri Chinmoy (1931-2007) - a lifetime of service

Two days ago, on the morning of the 11th of October, my meditation teacher Sri Chinmoy passed behind the curtain of Eternity. He was 76 years old.

My teacher always believed that inner silence and poise and outer dynamism can go together, and indeed right up until the end he was immersed in action; he was composing songs the day before he left the body, and held a meditation function for his students the night before. Only a couple of weeks ago, he was in St Petersburg giving concerts of meditative music for the public.
 
It is hard to imagine that the body that embarked upon so many challenges and gave so much is now still, but I think I can speak for all of Sri Chinmoy's students when I say the divine spark which propelled Sri Chinmoy from within to higher and more awe-inspiring feats of creativity and athletic prowess is not stilled in the slightest; we can feel it now with us, and it will never be still.
