Dear Terri, "Clapping with one hand" is part of a Zen koan. A Zen master would give koans to his students as exercises in going beyond the confines of the...
By Sri Chinmoy, extract from "Grace" p 40-41-42: If I can "If I can perfect my faith, Thy Grace is sure to come. The more I give to Thee, The more I absorb Thy...
"Unless I can convince myself That my Lord's Grace Is everything, I shall not be happy And I shall never make Anybody happy." Sri Chinmoy (Seventy Seven...
Richard, I am wondering where to find the commentary on the daily poems that Ivan posts on his site. Also, I might mention, to find Ivan's poems, it is...
Good-bye to our dearest Brother and Friend, Ongkar Your undying dedication and enthusiasm will always help light my path. May all the angels carry you to the...
I liked this story very much too. I think it takes a lot of courage to type in something like that and send it away off down the phone lines where anyone can...
Newness has been a theme in many posts before. I always love how Sri Chinmoy encourages us to move forward with fresh enthusiasm, energy and inspiration and...
Hi Bayer, May I also join in welcoming you as a new member of the Inspiration Group. I remember that there were several Mongolian students of Sri Chinmoy in...

Hi Niriha, Hmmm....after reading that your mother had an interest in Buddhism and was introducing koans to you as a child, I was about to reply that you were...
