Sri Chinmoy in Ottawa

Over the years, Sri Chinmoy visited our beautiful capital many times
to offer university lectures, free concerts, art exhibits and silent meditations for world peace. In 1994, a stirring exhibit of his one million ‘Peace-Bird’ drawings was held in a gallery in the Byward Market.
In 1999, he performed on over 30 different musical instruments before
an audience of 7,500 at a free Peace Concert at Scotiabank Place. Sri Chinmoy also offered two Peace Concerts on Parliament Hill for members of the House of Commons, the Senate and the diplomatic community.

 
Activities

Over the past 28 years, the Sri Chinmoy Centre of Ottawa has been offering meditation classes, music concerts, Jharna Kala art exhibits and other cultural events all free of charge.  

The Sri Chinmoy Centre is an active contributor of clothing, medical and educational supplies, and food to nations worldwide through the Oneness-Heart-Tears and Smiles humanitarian service program.

We also sponsor weekly and annual Self-Transcendence races such as a 2 mile fun run every Saturday morning starting at 8:00 a.m. under the Laurier Ave. bridge, an annual 6 & 24 Hour Race in September at the Louis-Riel Dome Facility and a new 6 & 12km Race at the Dows Lake Arboretum.  As well, the national welcoming ceremony for the World Harmony Run (global torch relay) is a biennial event in Ottawa.
