Muscle Man and Peace Angel
Chinmoy in the Kuppelsaal
A Phenomenon, Sri Chinmoy, a New York Meditation teacher of Bengali origins, is also a musician and a Messenger of peace…
2800 listeners followed his call to a “Peace Concert” at the Kuppelsaal in Hanover, and were transported away from their daily routines by his Indian sounds and gave restrained applause between the pieces (ovations would have destroyed the atmosphere) when the Master changed to flute or synthesizer.
“In the silence there is power,” his friends say. And what strength he developed through training and spiritual concentration, Chinmoy proved before the concert. With a special rack, he lifted members of the audience into the air with one arm; Guests from the GDR particularly appreciated this gesture. Chinmoy wrote a song for them, by the way.
It is about “Oneness-Happiness”.
