At Chinmoy Center in New York, they conducted this event. A team of 100 people worked together to make the cake, individually place each candle and then light them with 60 blowtorches.
They prepared this sponge cake which is filled with vanilla mousse and cake is created in the shape of a rectangle measuring 80.5 feet long and two feet wide. As they are many candles, it is tough to blow out all candles. So they have used CO2 fire extinguishers to put off the candles
Sri Chinmoy Center in New York is offering free meditation classes from last 50 years. So on occasion of Guruji birthday, his disciples planned this event.
