Bishwa sabhai tomar asanPrema onkar nad Translation by Sri Chinmoy

O Sun of India’s sky,O World-Poet,

O Moon of Bengal’s heart,You were beautiful in your inner life,

You were beautiful in your outer life,You were beauty incarnate in God’s entire Creation.

Gloriously and triumphantly you secure your placeIn the world-assembly with your creative force,

Supremely meaningful and fruitful in various walks of life. (1): 1. This song was composed by Sri Chinmoy on May 7th, 1979 and performed by him the same day at the United Nations in New York during a programme celebrating the anniversary of the poet’s birth. The programme was called “A Tribute to Tagore” and was sponsored by Sri Chinmoy: The Peace Meditation at the United Nations.

The song appears in Sri Chinmoy, Blue Waves of the Ocean Source, New York: Agni Press, 1979, p.37. The translation is by Sri Chinmoy.]
