If you want to improve your sports performance, this book is for you! 

Sri Chinmoy was an active sportsman. In his early life, he was the decathlon champion of the ashram where he grew up. Later in life, he took up weightlifting—demonstrating that the power of meditation can help us to transcend our capacities.

Sri Chinmoy taught that sport and meditation can easily complement each other. For example, he wrote that the poise we gain from meditation can increase our outer strength.

“In sports we need energy, strength and dynamism. When we meditate, we make our mind calm and quiet. If inside us there is peace, then we will derive tremendous strength from our inner life. That is to say, if I have a peaceful moment, even for one second, that peace will come to me as solid strength in my sports, whether I am running or jumping or throwing. That strength is almost indomitable strength, whereas if we are restless, we do not have strength like that.”
