The difference between my hope
And my enthusiasm is this:
My hope tells me
That whether I am ready or not,
God is coming to visit me.
My enthusiasm tells me
That God is all expectation to see me;
Therefore, I shall have to run hurriedly
Towards His Palace.

— Sri Chinmoy,
Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 37 (#36,56)

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”: These numbers indicate the order that the Enthusiasm-Awakeners (E.A.) learned the songs. The E.A.#s have zero significance beyond this selection of 1,528 songs. The numbers next to the song title is the related to the specific songbook they were published in (see Songbook reference at the bottom of each score).
