Interview for the Ted Bonnet show

AUM 1719-1727. The following interview was broadcast on radio station WRNW in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., on 19 February 1976 at 2:00 p.m.

Question: What approach to God do the followers of your religion take?

Sri Chinmoy: First of all I would like to make it very clear that ours is not a religion. Ours is a path, a path that leads to God-realisation. In order to reach this destination some people pray, while others meditate. In our case we do both, but the emphasis is on meditation. There is a definite difference between prayer and meditation. When we pray, we talk and God listens. When we meditate, God talks and we listen.
