Certificate of Recognition and Merit

I hereby certify that SRI CHINMOY has successfully lifted 200-pounds with one-arm using a one-arm press from a vertical stand. The lift first occurred on March 6, 1986 at 5:40 AM and has since been repeated on at least ten occasions.

Sri Chinmoy’s lift was completed at a bodyweight of 157 pounds and age of 54 years (born August 27, 1931 in Chittagong, India).

I wish to add that a 200-pound lift with one hand is an absolutely remarkable feat. Even lifting 200 pounds with two hands is a superb feat. It is Sri Chinmoy’s unparalleled spiritual power that is allowing him to harness his physical to accomplish this lift
