_Professor Carse:_ Good morning. Twenty years ago, Sri Chinmoy came to the United States from India, possessing little more than a skill in practising and teaching meditation. In the twenty years since, he's acquired a very large and devoted following of students who practise that method of meditation and who consult him on a wide range of spiritual questions. He's also written a number of books and has lectured widely on a very wide range of subjects and I'm delighted to say he's our guest this morning on the programme. Guru, Sri Chinmoy, thank you for being here this morning. Since we're going to talk about meditation, first, may I ask you, if you would please, to play a selection from your flute to set the mood for the discussion?

Sri Chinmoy plays the Indian flute for a few minutes.
