Customer Reviews

This is a book about meditation.
Sri Chinmoy is a modern spiritual master (an enlightened being) who lives in Queens, New York and has written prolifically on the spiritual life. Meditation is his most famous book on how to meditate. In it he gives the steps, elaborates on all of these, and answers questions about the process of meditation. What is amazing - and unique - about Sri Chinmoy's books is his highly advanced level of consciousness, the intensity and clarity with which he addresses spiritual matters, and the fact that he breaks new ground. He discusses - and gives answers to - spiritual matters not discussed by others. He is VERY DETAILED about the minutiae of spirituality, and has definite ideas as to the FORM it should take. In person, he is an amazing person, filled with POWERFUL spiritual energy, seemingly endless stamina, and overflowing creativity. He radiates purity and strength. His viewpoint is unique - he does not come out of the Christian tradition (although he embraces the divinity of Christ), but the Eastern tradition, so his style is quite different from a Western one. I recommend this book, and his books, for exposure to the spirituality he offers, and for those who feel personally called to follow his path. In addition, the meditation he offers is sound. It is heart-centered, and can be applied to any tradition in which one feels comfortable.
