14. Sri Chinmoy Lifts The White Horses of Mongolia, 19 And 23 May 2007

In the course of his remarkable weightlifting career, Sri Chinmoy created the "Lifting Up the World with a Oneness-Heart" award to honour individuals from all walks of life who had inspired and uplifted humanity. As they stood on a specially constructed platform, Sri Chinmoy lifted the recipients overhead with either one arm or both arms. On many occasions Sri Chinmoy also lifted animals, to express his love and concern for the animal kingdom. The animals – including, at various times, even elephants – were often lifted on a ground-level platform attached to a shoulder harness. The platform, would rise as Sri Chimnoy, positioned under the shoulder harness, flexed his calf muscles. Then, with gaze or touch, Sri Chinmoy offered his love and compassion to the animal, and thus to all its fellows.
