October Memorial in New York
Sri Chinmoy's students gathered in New York and various places around the world to mark the fifth anniversary of his Mahasamadhi on October 11 - the day he left this earthly stage.

In New York, there was 24 hours of continuous meditation on October 11, from 12 midnight to 12 midnight the next day, at Aspiration-Ground in Queens, the place where he meditated with his students and where his remains were laid to rest. Throughout the day, soulful music performances from groups from all around the world filled the air.

On October 13 there were two notable events - the Sri Chinmoy Heart-Garden Race took place in Flushing Meadows. The race takes place on the same track as the annual Self Transcendence Six and Ten Day Races and is named after the Sri Chinmoy Heart-Garden, which was inaugurated in 2006.

That evening there was also a Peace Concert - an event which sought to recreate the intensely meditative atmosphere of Sri Chinmoy's concerts. It features rare footage taken from the almost 800 peace concerts that Sri Chinmoy performed around the world, interspersed with live performances of his songs by his students.
