News #57: A Heartfelt Presence | Sri Chinmoy Statue Installed at ‘The Sacred’, Zürich

Posted on by Yatkara

Two weeks ago, ‘The Sacred’ – Zürich’s first fully vegan and organic restaurant – welcomed a profound new presence: a life-size statue of Sri Chinmoy, lovingly crafted in Serbia from a mold by sculptor Ashidari.

This addition brings a deep spiritual resonance to The Sacred’s comfortable and mindful atmosphere. Here, guests don’t just enjoy wholesome vegan cuisine – they’re invited into a space that gently nurtures both the body and the soul.

Since its opening in 2013, ‘The Sacred’ has embodied a philosophy of harmony with nature. The restaurant’s name – ‘The Sacred and Secret Way of Amazing Strength’ – was given by Sri Chinmoy himself and reflects a vision of nourishment rooted in natural cycles and respect for all life.
