The Highest Heaven of Bliss, January 2007

During a Christmas and New Year’s trip to Bulgaria, Sri Chinmoy made the following remarks after a concert offered by Boris Grebenshikov at the Kempinksi Hotel in Varna on 10 January 2007. Sri Chinmoy had offered the spiritual names Purushottama and Bhuvaneshwari to him and his wife, Irina.

My dearest Purushottama, I have written many, many books, but I am sincerely unable to express my feelings. Only in silence I am offering you my soul’s infinite joy, my soul’s infinite love, my soul’s infinite gratitude, and my soul’s infinite pride and pride and pride. Your unfathomable musical capacities have transported all your brothers and sisters, all of us, to the highest Heaven of Bliss, Bliss, Bliss, Bliss. My heart and my life shall ever remain grateful, grateful, grateful to you.

Since we met last year, in how many ways you have been spreading the light of your Guru Sri Chinmoy, through your radio performances and through your own personality. Your very personality carries my divine light and my inner peace and bliss. Everywhere you go, I feel in you my infinite, infinite delight, delight, delight.

We shall never, never, never forget the unimaginable joy that you give us. Your soul’s haunting voice is at once melodious and most powerful – full of tenderness, sweetness, soulfulness and power. Such power it carries! Everything that a superlative singer needs, a singer of the highest order needs, you have in bountiful measure.

In the outer world, you are a supreme musician-singer. In the inner world, you are a supreme hero, hero-warrior, hero supreme.
