Sri Chinmoy’s anniversary is the 11th October 2007. Now two years after his passing Sahayak Plowman one of his students recalls Sri Chinmoy’s life and how his philosophy, example and life-style would be of great benefit in todays troubled world.
Tomorrow’s a New Day! A Truly New DawnWhat a difference a day (or a night) makes. I can recall many a time weighed down with my woes only to pour them out sincerely to God, where amazingly he’d ‘fix’ them by morning. The soul would awaken in an entirely different state.
The Benefit of Good Teachings and How it Relates to LifeLife is like buying a new car with a new engine in it but as times goes on, you would only realize that the car which you bought has now depreciated. It is conspicuously that most Christian’s don’t want to be taught and to be able to learn from others when they enter into a situation which is bad and unpleasant but meanwhile they only wants to prevail in life with their negatively behaviors.
Always and ForeverTrue love is forever. This is not a metaphor, or the writing of a poet. True love is what we all receive from God 24-7, always and forever. No matter whom you are; no matter what you do, you will always have God’s love.
Sometimes, in our attempt to imitate what we learn from others, we get caught up in repetition, routine, techniques and rituals that leave us ignorant of who we truly are. We try to be someone we aren’t. We look outward instead of concentrating inward for discovery of revelations of our own.

Evolution of Religion – Where Are You? Six StepsThese six major steps weave in and around each other, and there are many others, all revealing a transition between materiality consciousness and heightened consciousness, or between an outward emphasis (thinking, remembering, body and mind), and an inward emphasis (the replacing of thought and memory by a spiritual fullness devoid of body and mind). Therefore, the materially minded, dependent upon thinking and memory, and believing strongly in body and mind, will not be able to relate, from an experiential standpoint, to the heightened mind.
Practice What Your Guru Tells You – Part 2Atisha gave massive teachings, massive oral transmission to all his students. Dromtonpa sat in front together with everybody else.
One Man’s Powerful Beliefs in the BibleI was talking to a man who was telling me about how powerful the Bible is. I ask him to explain himself, because I was truly interested in what this person had to say. He told me that the Bible can cure illness, heal people with cancer, and all sorts of other miracles. He proceeded to tell me that the Bible, had provided his family with numerous miracles and its power isn’t yet known to man.
The Ultimate Gunfight – God Versus GodThis might sound a little brutal, but let’s face it, if we don’t find out which God is right, pretty soon, we could find ourselves up to our necks in World War III. The Muslims and Christians seem to be getting more powerful and it won’t be long, before either one of these groups starts a fight with the other.
