There are only two ways
To achieve and declare
The supreme Victory in life.
One way is to feel
That you are nothing, absolutely nothing,
On the strength of your sincere humility.
The other way is to feel
That you are everything, absolutely everything,
On the strength of your perfect oneness
With God’s Love, Peace and Power.

— Sri Chinmoy,
Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 94 (#9,365)

Day 90: E.A. songs #1486-1512** — A practice recording of all songs in this set sung one-time each (courtesy of Paree). Time: 8:18

See individual song practice recordings below each score.

** For the original 90-Day-For-90-Years Project, the 90th Day fell on August 27, 2021 — the celebration and commemoration of 90th year of the birth of Sri Chinmoy. However, as Day 22 fell on “father’s day” and I had put a special compilation of songs for that day, this meant that I needed to create a ‘bonus’ Day 91 in order to complete the 1,528 Enthusiasm-Awakeners’ songs. 

E.A.# 1486 — Not yet published. Sri Chinmoy composed this song on 7 August 2007 for Ketan at the inauguration of Panorama Cafe in New York. It has a Bengali pair song entitled “Bijoy Ketan Urai Aji”.

I hoist my Lord’s Victory-Flag,
I hoist today.
I bow to my Lord Father Supreme,
O my Boatman in Your Cosmic Play.

Notes:

  • Selection: Sri Chinmoy composed over 23,000 songs in his lifetime (1931-2007), this selection of 1,528 songs is specific to: (a) songs composed by Sri Chinmoy in English during the period of December 1999 to September 2007. And (b) which the Enthusiasm-Awakeners song group learned and performed during that same period.
  • Recording quality: these recordings are only for learning purposes. Many, especially the ones below the individual scores, were recorded on an old, portable cassette tape and have some distortion.
  • 90-day Challenge: The “90-days-for-90-Years” project was created in May 2021 to honour and commemorate 90 years since the birth of Sri Chinmoy. Each of the 90-days has an average of 17 songs per day, and culminated on August 27, 2021. See background story on the project.
  • “E.A.#s”: It is important to note that these numbers have no significance beyond the Enthusiasm-Awakeners (E.A,) song group and this project.  These numbers indicate the order that the Enthusiasm-Awakeners learned the songs. The numbers next to the song title is the related to the specific songbook they are published in (see the Songbook reference at the bottom of each score).
