I never had any doubt of Guru.  I’ve never ever doubted him. Never. 

When manifestation started in the early 70’s, when everybody was very excited about what Guru was doing and especially before the manifestation, the idea that he was an Avatar, everybody was really… I mean, it was the biggest thing and everybody loved to talk about it. 

For me it was different. Yes, I was very grateful that an Avatar chose me as a disciple and all these things were happening.  But it really didn’t matter to me.  I really didn’t care.  I only cared that he was my Guru. I didn’t even care to know whether he was realised or not.  I only cared about the love that I felt from him and the love that I felt toward him, the rest was decoration, but the great prize was that he was my Guru and it remains the same today, that he is my Guru.

God has blessed my heart  
Unconditionally  
With a faith-calendar  
That has no doubt-days.

A kind of love not from this world
Guru saves me from my old life
I dreamt my meeting with Guru before it happened
I am your highest consciousness
Why can't I have my long hair and beard?
The Master's initiation
The boy who just loves me
'From now on, my Krishna’s consciousness is inside of you.'
Muhammad Ali: I was expecting a monster, but I found a lamb
Please postpone the surgery
Dreaming about my spiritual name
I only cared about the love that I felt from Sri Chinmoy and the love that I felt toward him: the rest was decoration
Reuniting with Muhammad Ali many years later
Tears of Joy and Gratitude
