Question: I have been practising the exercises of prana energy. Quite often I see purple light spreading around my forehead and then it moves forward. Today also, when I was meditating with you, I could not stop shedding tears.

Sri Chinmoy: This is a very high and good experience. Shedding tears means your soul’s recognition of who I am and what I stand for — my divinity, my spirituality. And the purple light that you are seeing when you meditate means that the delight which you are experiencing in your inner life is being manifested in your physical, in your vital and in your mind. I am very happy that you are getting this kind of experience.
