Members of the Sri Chinmoy Centre Who Give Meditation Classes
Experienced Seattleites offer our ongoing free classes. Gifted instructors from other cities are also invited several times a year for instensive weekend workshops.
Nayak and Nandita Polissar
Nayak and Nandita began meditating when they lived in Thailand for some time in the early 1970s. Upon returning to the United States, they attended a concert Sri Chinmoy was offering in New York City, and, profoundly inspired, started studying meditation directly with Sri Chinmoy. In 1974 they re-located and established a Sri Chinmoy Centre in Seattle. Nayak is a medical researcher, and Nandita vegetarian restaurant manager. Together they have taught meditation and organized mega-concerts featuring Sri Chinmoy across North and South America, Asia, Europe and Africa. Currently they are owners of Silence-Heart-Nest vegetarian restaurant in Fremont.
