Prayers in Many Languages

One day my prayers and aphorisms will be really appreciated and admired by the whole world. Here there are at least 40 different nationalities. Some very nice prayers and aphorisms you can translate into your own languages if you really care for Sri Chinmoy’s path. It is absolutely necessary to translate my writings into your different languages. If you want to spread Sri Chinmoy’s light, translation is of paramount importance. I am sure there are some qualified disciples who can translate my writings into their own languages. I will be very, very happy if you can do so.

Already we have five hundred books translated into Russian. Russians have done a splendid job. And there are hundreds translated into German, French, Spanish, Italian, Hungarian, Czech, Portuguese, Norwegian, Icelandic, Sanskrit, Persian, Hindi and other languages. Hindi is our main language in India, and for the Hindi translation, we have to thank our dear friend Dr. Jayaraman.

Sri Aurobindo always used to publish a political magazine, even when he entered into the serious spiritual life in Pondicherry. Swami Vivekananda used to tell his disciples all the time to bring out a newspaper or some publication. We have television, radio and other things, but I am begging you also to translate your Guru’s writings as much as you can.
