A Jharna-Kala Gallery, displaying thousands of Sri Chinmoy’s artworks, opens at 154 Wooster Street in New York’s Soho art district.
Just before the gallery opening at 7:00 p.m., Sri Chinmoy meditates briefly and offers this soulful prayer:
“My Lord Supreme, to You I offer my eternal gratitude for having painted in and through me out of Your infinite Bounty over 10,000 paintings in 100 fleeting days. My Lord Supreme, You have played the role of aspiration in and through me; now You want to play the role of inspiration in and through all of my brothers and sisters of the world. As I have placed the aspiration-tree at Your Feet, even so my sisters and brothers are going to place the inspiration-seed at Your Feet.”
