“Ami Chinmoy Mangalamoy”, Composed by Sri Chinmoy

Dear friends, it is an honor to present a wonderful performance by T. Bayasgalan of Sri Chinmoy‘s song, “Ami Chinmoy Mangalamoy“.

One of the many ways in which Sri Chinmoy served humanity was music. He composed thousands of devotional songs, and then embarked on a 24-year worldwide tour, sharing his meditative music in more than 700 concerts, always offered free of charge. Many world leaders have expressed kind words about Sri Chinmoy’s work for the betterment of humanity. Through art, music, sports and worldwide initiatives, such as the World Harmony Run and the Oneness-Heart Tears and Smiles, Sri Chinmoy sought to contribute to humanity’s individual and collective progress towards world-harmony.

Sri Chinmoy performed in renowned concert halls such as Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall and the Buddokan Hall in Tokyo.

In this recording, T. Bayasgalan, from Mongolia, sings “Ami Chinmoy Mangalamoy”, one of Sri Chinmoy’s compositions, in honor of the first Anniversary of Sri Chinmoy’s Mahasamadhi.

Sri Chinmoy visited Mongolia in May, 2007. His dream of visiting Mongolia became a reality. He was warmly received by the people of Mongolia. Our heart of gratitude to Mongolia, the land of the white horses, for this. Sri Chinmoy offered musical concerts, and an exhibition of his paintings was very successful.

Here are some notes from Deeldar Sedjav as to how this performance by T. Bayasgalan came about:

“It was a unique experience – participation of Bayasgalan in the concert, dedicated to the first anniversary of Sri Chinmoy’s last public concert in St.Petersburg, Russia.

It was a vision of Ariunaa, a Mongolian student of Sri Chinmoy from Ulaanbaatar, who wanted Sri Chinmoy’s songs “to feed people’s souls” via renowned singers. In April this year she contacted Bayasgalan explaining that on the first Anniversary of Sri Chinmoy’s historic visit to Mongolia, she would like to offer a gift to all spiritual seekers of Mongolia via recordings of Sri Chinmoy’s songs performed by a renowned singer. Bayasgalan was so struck by her idea she agreed to perform free of charge. Ariunaa meanwhile, had decided that every year in May, Sri Chinmoy’s songs sung by famous singers, be played on FM radio stations. So the first song — Magi Ami — was recorded and then played some 450 times on several FM radio stations from the 14-24 May – the days Sri Chinmoy visited Mongolia last year.

When Russians had invited Ariunaa to a charity concert, dedicated to Sri Chinmoy’s last public concert, Bayasgalan again agreed to perform free of charge.”

We are grateful to T. Bayasgalan and to all of Sri Chinmoy’s students in Mongolia, and especially to Ariunaa, for this soulful and illumining offering.
