Sri Chinmoy is a spiritual teacher with students in six continents. He was born in 1931 in what is now Bangledesh (then part of India), grew up in an Ashram nearly 1,500 miles away in India from the ages of 13 until 32 — and in 1964 moved to New York to begin his service to humanity. In his pursuit of offering guidance to his students and to anyone interested in leading more peaceful and spiritual lives, Sri Chinmoy’s spiritual teachings manifested in many creative ways, including

  • composing over 21,600 songs: primarily in Bengali language (13,630 plus songs) — as well as in English (over 7,800 songs) plus some in Sanskrit and French.
  • playing musical instruments
  • offering concerts
  • writing books
  • painting and drawing
  • offering talks and lectures
  • conducting silent meditations, and
  • using sports and athletics to transcend the mind and body

Sri Chinmoy traveled extensively and met with many public figures throughout the world with the hopes to inspire them to embrace their better or higher nature while serving their own audiences or constituents. He also felt a dedication to the goals and aspirations of the United Nations and led meditations there for staff and delegates twice-weekly for over 40 years.

Many, many singing and musical groups formed throughout the past 60 years which focus on Sri Chinmoy’s compositions. Each group adds their own unique interpretation all the while keeping the spiritual intent, simplicity and beauty of Sri Chinmoy’s compositions. This website focuses on a small, very informal one: the Enthusiasm-Awakeners. The Enthusiasm-Awakeners is a group of individuals who just enjoy learning and singing Sri Chinmoy’s songs composed in English regardless of their singing capacities.
