Introduction

Precious are the words of a spiritual Master, conveying his message of inner and outer peace in so many forms. This volume reflects the various formal and informal settings in which Sri Chinmoy offered his instructive insights, and complements Sri Chinmoy’s many books of talks, university lectures, questions and answers, plays, stories, poetry and songs.

Compiled from transcripts of recordings and stenographic notes taken during events and functions over the years, this publication includes informal comments and stories which Sri Chinmoy shared at the time. It is hoped that the book’s diverse format can provide a deeper glimpse into the many ways that the Master rendered his timeless teachings.
