Vidagdha's Homepage

I have been a student of Sri Chinmoy since 1975 and have written a number of articles and essays about various aspects of his profoundly inspiring life. In the pages that follow, I have listed these articles according to several different categories: poetry, music, art, tennis, running, weightlifting and miscellaneous. It is my hope that through these writings I have been able to convey something of the inner depth and outer mystery of this genuine spiritual Master.
