General notes:
i. On the evening of 28 November 1976, Sri Chinmoy spontaneously set tune to 300 poems from his book of 1,000 poems, Europe-Blossoms, and performed the songs at a public recital in Jamaica, Queens, New York. Included in his selection was ‘Beauty Came to Me’, a poem he wrote in Switzerland between 5-7 June 1974, during his month-long European lecture tour. The poem, originally titled ‘They Came to Me', is number 531 in the Europe-Blossoms series.
ii. The 300 songs were subsequently published by Agni Press (New York, NY) as two songbooks, both containing 150 songs each – Surrender-Lotus-Blossoms (1 December 1976) and Surrender-Rose-Blossoms (1 January 1977).
