Last year Guru celebrated Guru Purnima on 29 July 2007 (we have an immortal photograph by Jowan to cherish and treasure)
To celebrate in a small way this year's Guru Purnima , (happening this Friday 18 July 2008) here is a charming story regarding Vyasa, from the Mahabharata's translation by Kisari Mohan Ganguli.
Sri Chinmoy's only ambition as a child was to become a train ticket collector or an inspector like his father (Guru smilingly added: "But God didn't fulfill my desire!")
To have a train promote oneness between India and Bangladesh, what a piece of good news!
Sri Chinmoy has been infinitely more than a Father and Mother to many of us. He has been taking care of me, together with all of my spiritual brothers and sisters, like no one else ever could and ever will. A photograph of Sri Chinmoy on Father’s day 2005

I must thank Savyasachi for reminding me how much Guru likes to listen to our New Year resolutions. Sri Chinmoy enjoyed it so much when his students spoke about their new resolutions (both personal and manifestation wise) at those precious Christmas Trip functions. So, here are some of my resolutions for the New Year (I know they may seem puny to some, but I rather be realistic and achieving those, than heroic and achieve little).

I finished writing this little poem, "our Lord Chinmoy" a few days ago. I started composing it on 11 November 2007, after a very vivid image came to me: a gray world, bereft of colours but blessed with deep memories, and a colour-full heaven, celebrating Guru's long awaited return.
