Weightlifting prayer

 

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
Every day God enjoys watching
His Compassion-Eye
And my aspiration-heart
Playing together.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

 

Sri Chinmoy offers this prayer at 9:13 a.m. before doing 620-lb. seated double-dumbbell lift — a new record.

Sri Chinmoy tries new gym equipment. If Sri Chinmoy liked a particular machine but they were prohibitively expensive, he would sometimes have his photo taken and a custom machine to reflect its likeness would be built by Unmilan and others.
