Sri Chinmoy

Annapurna is proudly dedicated to the philosophy of Sri Chinmoy. Sri Chinmoy dedicated his life to spreading the universal message that all of us can and will be united as a world family in the pursuit of peace. Through a wide variety of activities-including literature, art, music and athletics- and through meetings with distinguished world leaders in a variety of fields, this noted spiritual leader and ambassador of peace has fostered the growth of individual and global harmony. He came to the West from his native India in 1964.
