Sri Chinmoy’s published works in the West span from 1970 into the new millennium – and number over 1550. Sri Chinmoy’s literary outpouring covers many different genres – seer-poems and mantras of the heighest height, wisdom-flooded aphorisms, world-wide university lectures, full-length plays on the Avatars, one-act plays based on the Indian classics, commentaries on India's ancient scriptures of India and answers to spiritual seekers' questions.
