Cleveland Park

End of an Era: Transcendence-Perfection-Bliss of the Beyond, card and gift shop, closing in Cleveland Park after 40+ years

Thanks to C. for sending: “Transcendence-Perfection-Bliss card and gift shop is closing June 30. They are having an anniversary this Friday, June 7. Good time for folks to stop by.”


3428 Connecticut Ave, NW

“For 40 years, we have offered an oasis of delightful gifts, cards and toys in the heart of Cleveland Park, Washington, D.C.

Transcendence-Perfection-Bliss of the Beyond is inspired by spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy (1931-2007) and his philosophy of self-transcendence.

We are eternally grateful for his magnificent achievements in the fields of art, music, literature, sports, and his lifetime of service to humanity.”

Ed. Note: Back in 2022 the other retail space at the Uptown, Uptown Vision closed. And still no word on what’s up at the Uptown

Stay tuned.
