Weightlifting Prayers

by Sri Chinmoy

 

 

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
My life has to be rooted and grounded
In my sleepless love of God.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

Sri Chinmoy offers this prayer at 7:39 a.m. before using seated double-arm machine up to 150 lbs. with each arm simultaneously.

 

 

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
I must first have sleepless
And breathless love for You.
Only then can I have
Abiding faith in You.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

Sri Chinmoy offers this prayer at 7:47 a.m. before lifting 200 lbs. with each arm simultaneously. (Total: 400 lbs.)

 

 

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
Out of Your infinite Bounty,
Every day You allow me
To have a lovely and lively
Conversation with You
At least for an hour.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

Sri Chinmoy offers this prayer at 7:52 a.m. before lifting 250 lbs. with each arm simultaneously. (Total: 500 lbs.)

 

 

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
May my heart’s new hopes
And my soul’s new promises
Replace my mind’s old doubts
And old fears.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

Sri Chinmoy offers this prayer at 7:56 a.m. before lifting 300 lbs. with each arm simultaneously. (Total: 600 lbs.)

 

 

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
At every moment each seeker has to be
Extremely alert.
At any moment his spiritual life
Can descend into steep decline.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

Sri Chinmoy offers this prayer before doing one hundred and five one-arm pushes with 400 lbs. (53 right, 52 left)
