Ashar Mita Trishar Pita
“O Friend of my hope,
O Father of my aspiration-thirst,
At Your Feet I shall lose
My days and nights
With my surrender-strength.”
– Sri Chinmoy
Another song called Japan is also a composition of Sri Chinmoy from December 5, 1978. The spiritual song is dedicated to the country of Japan:
Japan, Japan, Japan!
A soulful flower-garden.
Clearly you see,
Quickly you do.
Silence-ecstasy
Your property true.
Japan, Japan, Japan!
High Heaven’s hallowed Plan.
– Sri Chinmoy
