Sri Chinmoy's Amrit Mahotsava (75th birthday)
In four days Sri Chinmoy's Amrit Mahotsava (75th birthday) will be celebrated by many friends and admirers from all over the world. As I witness the tremendous energy and enthusiasm of my spiritual teacher, I can't help but compare him to my father and mother, who are now 71 and 69 years old respectively.
It has been my good fortune to have known Sri Chinmoy since 1989. I actually met him in person for the first time in Cologne, Germany, during his concert tour on Sunday 18 February, 1990.
My mind's eye, or my heart's memory, may be failing me, but it seems to me that while my dear parents age every year a little more, my spiritual teacher is getting younger every year.
I asked some people who do not know Sri Chinmoy how old they think he is. Their answer invariably was in a range of 50 to 60. That's 15 years off the mark!
I wish I could remember an aphorism by Sri Chinmoy I read once on a t-shirt, about loving and remaining young with God being a shining example.
But I know I could not have a more limpid example of love and youthfulness than my teacher.
