The Darling of the Mother Divine: Sukhukee Ida Patterson

Sri Chinmoy had the following exchange with Sukhukee Ida Patterson, at a function on 4 August 2002 at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago. The previous day he had offered her the name Sukhukee on the occasion of her 86th birthday. On 4 August he composed a Bengali song in her honour, with an English translation.

I am so grateful to our Minneapolis disciples that they were able to bring my sister here, and she has given us boundless joy. Yesterday I gave her the name Sukhukee, meaning “The very darling of the Mother Divine.” Now let me honour my dearest sister.

Sri Chinmoy composed a song in Bengali and taught it to the singers, with the following translation:

```

The very darling of the Mother Divine,

You inundate everybody with happiness.

You at once embody the sister’s pure love

and the mother’s sweet affection.

You claim everyone to be your own, very own.

No stranger have you.

```

Somebody in New York will type the song nicely, and then we will mail it to you. In a few days’ time you will get the song. And your Centre, the Minneapolis Centre, is blessed with very good singers. They will learn it, and then make a recording for you.
