one-ness

Sri Chinmoy saw music as a pure language of the heart, and a way to celebrate the underlying unity of humanity.

"Music is the language of God. God's language, music, is not like mathematics or geometry. It is a language of love. If we love music, that is enough."

- Sri Chinmoy [1.]

Oneness Dream have performed in churches and temples in different parts of the world.

On a recent visit to Myanmar, a Buddhist country, they offered songs composed by Sri Chinmoy dedicated to the Lord Buddha.

Auspicious Good Fortune

'Auspicious Good Fortune' is a new book by Sumangali Morhall, which tells of her journey from disillusionment to interest in meditation and becoming a student of Sri Chinmoy.

Published by Mantra Books, it is available at Amazon and selected independent book stores. The book gives a first hand account of life as a student of Sri Chinmoy.

Sumangali writes on the experience of writing the book:

"...I began writing down a few memories several years ago, and after Sri Chinmoy's passing in 2007, wondered about joining them together in a book. This was partly in the hope of telling the story to others who may find it interesting or inspiring, and partly for my own sake so I

did not forget my experiences.

It has taken three years to write in earnest and to find a publisher, so today is the culmination of a long but rewarding journey. This has been a significant part of my own sadhana during this time: a spiritual discipline, and a creative outlet. Overall it has been a way to offer my gratitude to Sri Chinmoy for the countless ways he has led me to a happier and more conscious life..."
