Soulful homages
Sri Chinmoy paid homage to each of his guests, as well as to others who joined the celebration in spirit, by composing a song about them. It was a time-honoured way of immortalising the achievements of such distinguished individuals and of offering his gratitude for their encouragement and inspiration.Bill Pearl
Bill Pearl, Bill Pearl, Bill Pearl, Bill!
Body builders’ sky-vast thrill.
World’s Best Built Man of the Century,
God-Glory’s Himalayan perfection-story.
Your heart-smile has blessed the Hall of Fame.
Your soul-dance adorns God’s Vision-Game.
Sri Chinmoy, Body, Heart and Soul One-Arm Lift Anniversary, 25-26 June 1986, Agni Press, New York, 1986
