Sri Chinmoy's dedication

Today’s programme, “Lifting Up the World With a Oneness-Heart,” I am most prayerfully and most soulfully offering to my spiritual Master, Sri Aurobindo, who studied here at King’s College, Cambridge, from 1890 to 1892.

```

India’s Poet, India’s Seer,

India’s Yogi,

The transcendental Sri Aurobindo,

Direct Descendant of the Absolute Supreme,

To you I bow and bow and bow.

Bharater kabi bharater rishi

Bharater jogi Avatar

Sri Aurobindo he ati manab

Pranati janai barebar

```

As a prelude to the lifting part of the ceremony, Sri Chinmoy performed his own compositions for several minutes on the esraj, a slender North Indian bowed instrument with sympathetic strings. During his esraj performance, Sri Chinmoy offered the English translation of his Bengali song Bharater Kabi<em> before singing the song a cappella<em>.↩
