44. Anuradhapura... bhitare bahire
Anuradhapura, Anuradhapura, Anuradha!
Bhitare bahire nahi mano tumi kono badha
Within, without, you admit no obstacles;
You bravely shatter ignorance-shackles.
Your stupas and caves are your inner strength;
To you bows the world of infinite length.
Sri Chinmoy, My Aspiration-Heart’s Country-Life-Salutations, Agni Press, New York, 1994
