Paul, do you mind if I ask what sort of truths you are referring to here? From what I have read about Sri Chinmoy he regards himself as very close to God and much of what he passes on to his disciples are his visions of his own fantasy world, which can differ widely from the truth as other religions would know it. In other words, in your opinion, how true to Hinduism are the teachings of Sri Chinmoy? And do you agree with Sri Chinmoy's views on reincarnation for instance?

Regards, Jennifer
