Weightlifting Prayers
by Sri Chinmoy
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
May my heart-garden be always full
Of God-gratitude-rose-blossoms.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
Sri Chinmoy offers this prayer at 9:19 a.m. before doing a 540-lb. seated double-dumbbell lift — a new record.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
O seekers, have more faith in God
And in yourselves.
When your consciousness is low,
He will definitely lift you up,
Wipe your tears
And give you strength
To smile once again.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
Sri Chinmoy offers this prayer at 9:29 a.m. before doing an 800-lb. dumbbell bench press.
