Sri Chinmoy
My spiritual teacher, Sri Chinmoy passed away yesterday, Thursday, 11th October, early in the morning. The cause of death was a heart attack.
His passing was quite unexpected as he had been fully active to the last moments of his life.
Just a couple of week ago, he visited Russia to take part in the opening of a hospital dedicated to his dear friend Raisa Gorbachev.
Sri Chinmoy dedicated his life to serving others and working toward global peace and harmony. He offered a simple message that we could all work for a better future, through our own self-improvement.
We are saddened at the abrupt loss, but, remain deeply enriched by the inspiration and example of Sri Chinmoy's life.
It is also appropriate to remember, the philosophy of Sri Chinmoy regarding death. This is the very last poem published in his most recent poem / prayer book.
“My physical death Is not the end of my life - I am an eternal journey.”
- Sri Chinmoy's final prayer-poem
At a later stage, I shall try to write some more words to express the gratitude and inspiration I have received from Sri Chinmoy in the past 9 years.
