The Spiritual Wisdom of Sri Chinmoy

In 1971, Herder and Herder published the book “Songs of the Soul”, Sri Chinmoy‘s 9th book since coming to the West. Later, Sri Chinmoy recorded a reading of many of the talks in this immortal book, and subsequently one of his disciples composed a suite of music as a soundtrack to the reading, which was released as an album, also entitled “Songs of the Soul”.

This episode begins with Sri Chinmoy reciting “Hope”, a poem that embodies the ascending cry of the God-seeker. Then there is a series of recitations where the seeker is talking to each part of the being — body, vital, mind and heart — about their role in life. A beautiful vision of the divine in each human being! 🕉
