When we meditate we try to expand ourselves, like a bird spreading its wings. – Sri Chinmoy

Members of the Sri Chinmoy Centre Who Give Meditation Classes
Begabati Lennihan, RN, CCH (Certified Classical Homeopath) has been meditating under the guidance of Sri Chinmoy since 1973, when she first met him as a senior at Harvard. Begabati grew up planning to become a doctor like her father, but she developed a pioneering interest in natural healing in the early 70s and upon graduation opened a health food store instead. For many years she ran her health food store, first in Boston and then in Cambridge, as a much-loved community gathering place and a venue for her meditation classes.
More recently she has opened a practice as a homeopath and natural health consultant (GreenHealing). She offers free meditation classes for the Harvard community through Harvard’s Center for Wellness (listed as “Calm Your Mind, Open Your Heart” on the HCW calendar). Inspired by Sri Chinmoy’s promotion of marathon running as a metaphor for the spiritual journey, she has completed 50 marathons, ultramarathons and triathlons.
Ganapati J. Coleman, Ph.D. became a student of Sri Chinmoy in 1974 and joined the Boston Sri Chinmoy Centre while studying Electrical Engineering at Harvard in the mid-70s, later earning MA and PhD at Brown University in biomedical engineering and electrical engineering respectively.
Born in Africa (Monrovia, Liberia), Ganapati has maintained an ongoing interest in Centre projects there since the running of the first World Harmony Run (then the Peace Run) in 1987 and offers ongoing meditation classes in the Boston area.
