Sri Chinmoy performs 10 crunch abdomen-ups pushing 367-lbs. in Jamaica, Queens, New York. Earlier that morning during training, he offers the following prayers:

 

1. At 5:15 a.m. before lifting 270 lbs with each arm four times.

 

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme,
May this be my last prayerful promise:
I shall never, never, never
Lose faith in You.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

2. At 5:23 a.m. before lifting 130 lbs with each arm simultaneously.

 

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme,
The world cannot see You,
But You can see the world.
May this Blessing
Be enough for the world.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

3. At 5:29 a.m. before lifting 145 lbs one hundred times (50 right, 50 left) for a new record of 2 mins 40 secs.

 

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
We do not realise
That in order to be perfect
In our outer life,
We must be perfect
In our inner heart first.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
