Meditation Christchurch

About Sri Chinmoy

Our free meditation classes are based on the teachings of Sri Chinmoy who offered inspiration to millions worldwide during his lifetime of dedicated service. Through his writings, lectures, concerts, artwork and athletic endeavours, Sri Chinmoy humbly offered the message of self-transcendence and said, "We are all truly unlimited, if we only dare to try and have faith."

Bhajans and Kirtan Evening

Bhajans are simple devotional songs that powerfully invoke the presence of the infinite variations of the Supreme consciousness.
