The Jewels of Happiness is a website about inner happiness. This happiness does not depend on outer circumstances – places, people, money or success – but wells up spontaneously from within. Outer happiness eventually fades away, but inner happiness is lasting and fulfilling!
THE INSPIRATION
Our site draws its inspiration from Sri Chinmoy, a spiritual teacher who was also a poet, author, artist, musician and athlete. Sri Chinmoy’s timeless wisdom and boundless creative output have inspired millions.
In 1970, he began holding twice-weekly talks and silent reflections at the United Nations for the staff and delegates, which was warmly welcomed by U Thant, the Secretary-General at the time – “I personally feel that you have been doing a most significant task for the United Nations“. Over the years, Sri Chinmoy would offer many simple, beautiful and heartfelt ways to bring people together, such as the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run, a torch relay that has spanned over 155 countries and is currently the world’s largest peace torch relay.
