Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy, happy, happy birthday!
We love your soul’s rainbow-dream promise-play.
— Sri Chinmoy (Song-Flowers, Part 6, https://www.srichinmoysongs.com/happy-birthday)
My birthday, my birthday,
My birthday, my birthday!
God gives my heart, from His Heart
A very special Ray.

My birthday song: I plan to soar, I plan to roar.
The bird in me will teach me how to soar.
The lion in me will teach me how to roar.
I plan to love, below, above.
The lover in me will teach me how to love,
Within, without, below, above.
— Sri Chinmoy (Transcendence-Perfection, 1975. https://www.srichinmoysongs.com/my-birthday-song)
On my birthday God came to me
And answered a question of mine:
“God, what do you do all the time?”
He said, “I do nothing but listen,
Listen to the world’s deplorable fate
And ever-changeable fate
And To Heaven’s satisfaction-glory
And creation-unification-story.”
