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.
You can read the official announcement, you are also warmly invited to leave a tribute on our site...

you were blessed to be able to sit with such a remarkable man and have him as your teacher. I agree with what your said….”it will never be still.” You were instilled with his grace and teachings and you will spread it to those you meet. peace, maze
Thank you Shane.
Namaste'
Dear Shane, You have honored this great one so beautifully by having placed his quotes here on zaadz so that so many of us have been able to experience (and in turn share) some of his wisdom. I for one was introduced to him through you. Thank You.
Much Love & Deep Peace
thank you all. i hope when there is time i can write more about this - there may be feelings of grief and loss, but much more than that there is a feeling that Sri Chinmoy has taught all of us more in the last five days about the reality that we are all eternal and immortal facets of the Supreme than at any time when he was still in the body. We can feel very tangibly about how his light and teachings have entered into us, and now we must follow his example and keep serving our fellow human beings with every ounce of what we have. Thank you all again
What a beautiful soul. In my attachment to human form, I will miss his physical presence on the planet. In my higher nature I am joyous for his new adventure, and yours with him.
Many blessings of comfort and peace to you, Shane. I can't even imagine…
I had a dream a couple of months ago that my teacher lay dying in my arms and with his final breath, as if it were the only natural thing to do, he was teaching me how to honor the teachings, to be joyful in that moment and go forward with that in the world.
My love is with you. I only dreamed what you are actually finding your way through. Your love and dedication to serving humanity must make your teacher so proud!
