123. Suriname... manorama prakritir
Suriname, Suriname, Suriname!
Manorama prakritir hiya dham

Dao tumi sabakare subhamati
Apanare bitariya taba deshe
Animeshe hese hese bhalobese
Translation
Suriname, Suriname, Suriname!
The heart-abode of nature’s pristine beauty.
President Ramsewak Shankar,
To each and every countryman of yours
You offer your kindness-thoughts and goodness-life.
You are your life’s self-offering,
With a sleeplessly smiling, love-flooded heart.
Sri Chinmoy, My Aspiration-Heart’s Country-Life-Salutations, Agni Press, New York, 1994
