THE ABSOLUTE: COLLECTED POEMS OF SRI CHINMOY

UNITED STATES, August 25, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sri Chinmoy, a spiritual teacher who dedicated his life in service to aspiring humanity, has over 1,600 books to his name – poetry, essays, lectures and talks, aphorisms, stories, plays, and answers to thousands of questions. Because of the originality, sincerity, honesty, and truth in his poems, the cadences of Sri Chinmoy's poetry will travel through time for centuries to come, offering hope, strength and salvation to many an earnest traveler in his or her journey through life.

Now, a new book, THE ABSOLUTE: COLLECTED POEMS OF SRI CHINMOY, provides a collection of his poems selected from his entire body of poetic work that spans over six decades.

Chinmoy started writing poetry from the age of thirteen and continued writing even in the last year of his life. As a child he was thoroughly trained in the craft of the poetic art. All his early poems were written from within the poetic restraints of meter and rhyme. Only later in his poetic career he wrote in free verse.

Speaking of his poetry, Sri Chinmoy said, "Throughout my poetry-journey, my poetry-tree has cherished various branches: philosophy, prayer, religion, spirituality, my love of Nature's beauty, my love of word-making, which the English language indulgently allows me to explore, and my abiding love, concern and hope for this world of ours."

Mikhail Gorbachev has said of Chinmoy’s work, “Your loving heart and profound wisdom are a matter of my boundless admiration.”

Adds Jason McManus, Editor-in-chief, Time Warner Publications, "These inspiring poems, so rich in wisdom, spirituality and love, remind us Sri Chinmoy lives on cherished in our hearts and history."

THE ABSOLUTE is available on Amazon and other popular retail outlets where books are sold.
