About our classes
Our free classes offer an introduction to meditation, including guided meditation exercises and visualizations, as well as practical spiritual wisdom for the modern world. They are inspired by the philosophy of our teacher Sri Chinmoy (left), who asked us to offer the classes free of charge as a public service.
