Short video: Joining Sri Chinmoy’s path
The video was taken in New York. It’s just a short bit about becoming a disciple of Sri Chinmoy back in 1999, when I was a student at Oxford University.
I’ve written about it in more detail here: Becoming a disciple of Sri Chinmoy

Col du Tourmalet with Peace Run
A few weeks ago I was in the south of France for a weekend with the British and French Sri Chinmoy Centres. We were also joined by members of the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run.
I’ve always wanted to cycle in the Pyranees, so I took my bike. A good combination of circumstances allowed me to climb the Col du Tourmalet and reach the top, just as runners from the Peace Run also made it.
