True inner joy is self – created.
\nIt does not depend on outer circumstances.
\nA river is flowing in and through you carrying the message of joy.
\nThis divine joy is the sole purpose of life.<\/p>\n

– Sri Chinmoy [1]<\/p>\n

Sri Chinmoy aptly called these events a ‘Joy-Day’. This Joy-Day took place in Weinheim, near Heidelberg. Most people arrived late Saturday afternoon; after an opening meditation and dinner there was a versatile spiritual evening program with music, meditation, video’s, slideshows, a play and news about all the activities of the Sri Chinmoy Centre in various parts of the world, such as the recent concerts of the Gandharva Loka Orchestra in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning started with an early 6 a.m. meditation followed by a 2-mile running race. After a late morning program with more music, singing and video’s the Joy-Day ended with a final silent meditation.<\/p>\n
