The Adventure of Life

The Adventure of Life is a modern-day spiritual manual that guides us towards understanding the roots of anxiety and confusion, both on a personal level and in society today, and offers the practice of meditation as a tool to centre and harmonise our lives. It introduces us to a modern spiritual lifestyle with focus on health, diet, sport, family life and the workplace. The book encourages the reader to embrace new ideas, adding a deeper, spiritual dimension to one’s life. In a clear and accessible way, Sri Chinmoy speaks about the spiritual art of living, society and religion as well as popular New Age topics such as chakras, occult powers and the end of the world. He explains the role of spirituality in the modern-day world and highlights the practical value of regular prayer and meditation practice. ‘Life is not boring to one who believes in adventure. Adventure does not mean that you have to climb up the tallest mountain. To allow new ideas, fresh ideas, healthy ideas to enter into your mind – that is adventure.’ – Sri Chinmoy
