THREE VENEZUELAN PRESIDENTS WELCOME Sri-Chinmoy 1983-Dec-22 to 1984-Jan-02

 CARACAS: Three  Venezuelan presidents-a former one, the present one and the new president-elect-gave Sri Chinmoy a warm welcome to their country recently and embraced his message of peace. Some members of the Peace Mediation at the UN  led by Sri Chinmoy, were present for some meetings. Those in Caracas during the visits also joined with those performing songs at some events.

At the meeting with new!y-elected President Jaime Lusinchi at his campaign headquarters January 2, Sri Chinmoy’s students sang several songs their teacher had composed about Venezuela and Simon Bolivar.

Lusinchi responded by saying, “It’s a very auspicious event to start 1984 with such a beautiful message of peace and democracy in this house.” He told the Master, “I am very happy to receive you and the message of friendship that you bring here, which I understand as a message of friendship to the people of Venezuela . . . .”

Tumiparamer paramananda khela
Venezuela Venezuela Venezuela
Nutan ashar nutan bhashar vela
Venezuela Venezuela Venezuela
Tomar bhabane nache sabakar mela

Venezuela, Venezuela, Venezuela!
You are the cosmos-delight-game
   Of the Absolute Supreme.
Venezuela, Venezuela, Venezuela!
You are a new hope-boat, sleeplessly carrying
   A new message-dawn.
Venezuela, Venezuela, Venezuela!
In your heart-home dances the oneness-assembly
   Of all nations.

Simon Bolivar, Libertador! Simon Bolivar

Lyrics:

Simon Bolivar, Libertador!
Pranam janai pranam janai sadar
Simon Bolivar, Simon Bolivar
Prerana eshana anibar
Simon Bolivar, Simon Bolivar
Bhitar bahir sworjye birjye durbar
Tumi bandhu tumi pita tumi bhrata
Tumi dakkhin markin trata
