On January 7th, 2024, the new international non-profit organisation Soul-Bird Academy announced the first two projects during the Christmas Trip in Malta. Kedar presented two new bi-monthly publications: SOULFUL PHOTOGRAPHY, a magazine open to all creative and soulful photographers and photo enthusiasts. The theme of the first issue is “Trees”.

The second publication is a journal called HEART-BLOSSOMS COMPENDIUM, also planned to be released 6 x a year. It contains a garland of fragrant literary blossoms attentively and carefully chosen from Sri Chinmoy’s literary works. Both periodicals were projects that Sri Chinmoy himself envisioned in 2004, hoping for somebody to realise them in the future. Now his visions became reality.

Everybody is welcome to contribute to both publications: your personal photography (theme of second issue is MALTA with the deadline of January 27th 2024) for the magazine and links or texts of Sri Chinmoy’s writings for the Compendium.

Published on by .Leave a comment

This is a unique video of an evening with the music group “Blue Flower” in Moscow in 2016. Three members of the group visited Moscow and started the event with a half hour introduction to meditation, then played some melodies of Sri Chinmoy (1931-2007) and finally sang his songs together with the public. The whole video is more than two hours but is worth watching up to the end!
