Sri Chinmoy set his poem to music in July 1995 – 50 years after he wrote the original poem. The third track is a recording of Sri Chinmoy singing the song version – ‘Dyulok chariye nara narayan’.
The fourth track is a powerful and extemporaneous pipe organ performance.
August 15th, 1945
God in human form
Descends from Heaven today
To touch and feel
The breath of earth-dust.
Comrades, His Victory
Let us proclaim, casting aside
All our world-responsibility-obligations.
– Sri Chinmoy, August 15th 1945 from India, my India. Mother India’s summit-prides, Agni Press, 1997 at Sri Chinmoy Library
