States-Wyoming

Wyoming (WY). The 44th state to join the Union in 1890

Wyoming factoids: The capital of Wyoming is Cheyenne — which is also its largest city. Today’s population in Wyoming is approximately 580,000 (averaging around 6 people per square mile). Wyoming’s state tree is the ‘Plains cottonwood’; its state flower is the ‘Wyoming Paintbrush’; and its state bird the ‘Western Meadowlark’. Wyoming enacted a ‘Code of the West’ which includes these 10 codes: Live each day with courage; Take pride in your work; Always finish what you start; Do what has to be done; Be tough, but fair; When you make a promise, keep it; Ride for the brand; Talk less, say more; Remember that some things are not for sale; Know where to draw the line. Wyoming’s State Motto is: “Equal Rights”.

Activities of Sri Chinmoy in Wyoming (see page for activities in other states)

1974

• April 23, 1974. As part of his 50-state lecture tour, Sri Chinmoy delivers the third of three lectures of the day —in 3 states. Entitled “Concentration” the lecture was given at 10:30pm at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, WY.
  • After the talk, Sri Chinmoy answered the following questions:
    • Q: In learning to concentrate, what forms of self-discipline do you use? Sometimes it seems that learning self-discipline is selfish.
    • Q: What does it mean to please God in His own Way?
    • Q: Do you see any way one could assimilate the way of living you are speaking about into the American culture?

Fifty oneness-state-songs,
 
Our Lord’s Compassion-Gongs.
 
Within, without, a seeker’s sleepless cry
 
To reveal America’s perfection-sky.

Among the many songs Sri Chinmoy composed on America, his adopted country, this one is perhaps the most powerful:

America, America, America!
Great you are, good you are,
Brave you are, kind you are.
O my America, America.
Your Heaven-freedom is earth’s aspiration-choice.
With you, in you, is God-Hour’s Victory-Voice.

—Sri Chinmoy
