SRI CHINMOY

Three ‘Prayers for the Millennium

In the New Millennium
We shall learn something unprecedented:
How to accomplish invaluable things
Without hurting a single human being.

The fulfilment of the mind
Has been the hope
Of the past few centuries.
Now the fulfIlment of the heart
Will be the hope
Of the next generation
And of all generations to come.
Indeed, this will be a unique contribution
Of the 21st Century to humanity.

The New Millennium has commenced
Its momentous journey today.
From today on, I shall not offer
My volcano-ambition to the world.
I shall offer the world
Only my moonlit heart’s
Flaming aspiration.
