The journey begins Part 5 - My Teacher

"You are the silence and depth of the infinite ocean,
You are the vastness and beauty of a thousand snow-capped summits,
You have awakened my heart and humbled my life".

  Gratitude, gratitude - Sahayak.

Sri Chinmoy - spiritual Teacher

In every sense, Sri Chinmoy is one of India's great yogis, a selfless pilgrim-soul who seeks to fulfil mankind's dream of a united and harmonious world. In celebrating more than 43 years of tireless service to humanity Sri Chinmoy has inspired the lives, touched the hearts and given new hope to countless seekers around the globe - his humble, unconditional oneness-service-life is dedicated to inspiring and encouraging all seekers.

Sri Chinmoy teaches that as innately divine beings we all have the capacity of realising the full potential of our limitless Self. To this end through an extraordinary array of global initiatives Sri Chinmoy enthusiastically fosters individuals' spirituality through self-transcendence.  In doing so individuals discover their spiritual 'heart' by bringing forward the best in themselves, helping them to realise the richness, fullness and happiness in their lives.

Sri Chinmoy also sees the 'heart's' ceaseless yearning for ever higher and deeper realities with the unlimited potential of the human spirit as the spiritual driving-force behind humanity's most inspiring and greatest achievements. He shows us that spirituality is perfectly natural and normal, the means to helping us grow into our true potential, in reaching contentment and fulfilment.

May we all pause long enough in the 'hustle-n-bustle' of life to listen to his timeless wisdom, to reflect on life's higher purpose and meaning and to realise the beauty and uniqueness of our special contribution to our world.
