Format:Paperback
This book is unique in its depth and beauty. The compiler has done a brilliant job of sewing together multifarious texts - by subject, and in a simple Question & Answer format. If you want to find some illumination on any issue, finding that section of the book is very easy. I was very moved by the answers given by Sri Chinmoy on a number of the subjects - his spirituality glows forth with such joy.
I recommend this book for sincere seekers of truth - for obtaining answers on the great questions surrounding human life.

Remarkable text recommended for everyone!
6 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
"The Wisdom of Sri Chinmoy" is perhaps the most concisely organized text of modern spirituality available. Compiled expertly, the book is an anthology drawn from the writings of this remarkable teacher of peace numbering over 1000.
The book is arranged as an encyclopedia, with topics such as Love, Self-Realization and more common topics such as Death, Worries and Problems. Each topic consists of questions answered by Sri Chinmoy. The strength of the books lies not in its format, however, but in its content.
Sri Chinmoy's answers are so simple, yet powerful. They offer a rare glimpse into the wisdom of an enlightened person, a wisdom which resonates with clarity and brilliance but is at the same time quite practical and applicable.
Any seeker of peace can benefit tremendously from this book which offers insights into the spiritual life and the life beyond problems and worries that few texts offer.
A must for anyone interested in achieving a bit more tranquility, balance and happiness in life.

The Wisdom Of Sri Chinmoy is an outstanding collection of his answers to spiritual questions drawn from thirty-six years of teaching meditation and spirituality (including conducting twice-weekly meditation sessions at the United Nations). The selected commentaries are arranged alphabetically by topic and include questions and answers grouped thematically under each major subject heading (God, love, death, self-realization, problems, and reincarnation.
