On the other occasion Sri Chinmoy gave a rather unusual concert on his birthday in August 27th 1975, playing on 27 different instruments. Many of the instruments he had learned to play only a few days earlier, during a concentrated two-week period of practice. The instruments, which included a few toys as well as normal-sized woodwinds and strings, ranged from violin and harmonica to saxophone, trumpet and sitar. He said he decided to learn the 27 instruments just for the childlike joy of it, and asked his spiritual children to have compassion for the inevitable wrong notes. “Forever and forever I wish to remain a divine child, an eternal child, in my searching and illumining consciousness,” Sri Chinmoy declared. “It is only the divine child in us that can grow into divine perfection. “
