We usually have classes every month across Tampa Bay Area: Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Spring and others. After an introductory workshop, we hold further meditation classes for those who are interested in pursuing meditation further. We meet twice a week for a month in Safety Harbor on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Our meditation classes are always free of charge. Sri Chinmoy felt that meditation is the natural language between man and God, the mastering of which can’t be bought. In keeping with Sri Chinmoy’s philosophy, these classes are always selflessly offered as community service.

Why we give classes

We strongly believe that our outer life can be most effectively improved only by first  improving  our inner life because everything in the outer world has its origin in the inner world. Thus, we take meditation as the natural and perfect way to transform our lives and accomplish our goals.

First of all, discovering our capacity to mediate and developing it bit by bit makes it possible for  us to get the  answer to our most important question: what is our purpose, our role on earth? What unique message does our soul have for us to bring our life integral satisfaction and fulfilment?

To discover this essential truth, we are trying to develop major inner qualities like peace of mind, purity of thoughts and motives, sincerity, the power of concentration, in other words a positive approach to everything  We need to put  our heart into everything we do, to develop will power, the strength never to give up  and many other qualities.

In the words of our teacher, Sri Chinmoy: “My ultimate goal is for the power of love to replace the love of power within each individual. At that time world peace can be achieved, revealed, offered and manifested on earth.”

Who is going to bring about this radical change?
It will be you and me
And our oneness-heart will spread peace
Throughout the length and breadth of the world.”
