My Lord Supreme,
My Beloved Supreme,
My body’s strength
Comes from my mind’s happiness.
My mind’s happiness
Comes from my heart’s gratitude.
My heart’s gratitude
Comes from my life’s surrender.
— Sri Chinmoy,
I Pray Before I Lift, I Meditate While I Lift, I Offer My Gratitude-Cries and Gratitude-Smiles (11 August)

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.
