A blue-gold hope-bird is flying
In the heart-sky of humanity.The Golden Shore is beckoning
The blooming God-life-seekers
And
The blossoming God-heart-lovers.Before long, the world-mind-uncertainty
Will be buried in oblivion.Before long, the world-heart-certainty
Shall start reigning supreme.The mind’s power-drum is surrendering
To the sweetness-flute of the heart.The oneness-peace-realities shall devour
The world-division-hunger-dreams.— Sri Chinmoy
My Lord Beloved Supreme,
May each and every
Human being of the
World please You, only
You, in your own Way
in the Year 2003.— Sri Chinmoy

Sri Chinmoy meditates with his students on New Year’s Eve — 31 December 2002 — in Christchurch, New Zealand. The same day, Sri Chinmoy composes an English song to herald the New Year.
Published in Enthusiasm, Part 5, song no. 26
O Pilot of the New Year-Boat,
Do give my heart a new hope,
My life a new promise
And me a new assurance
That You are going to take me
To Your Golden Shore.

Sri Chinmoy composed this poem about the New Year in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on January 1, 2002.
Uncertainty-supremacy assails the world.
God’s secret and sacred Will
In the world of the unknowable prevails.The New Millennium is humanity’s unhorizoned
God-surrender-victory
And
Divinity’s most glorious earth-blossom-discovery.— Sri Chinmoy
Sri Chinmoy held his annual New Year’s Meditation and Peace Concert on November 18, 2000, at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in Manhattan, New York.
The Absolute Lord Supreme
Tells the confusion-mind of the world:
“Take My Sadness-Heart and Madness-Eye
As the last and urgent Warning.
Come back Home immediately!”The Beloved Lord Supreme
Tells the aspiration-heart of the world:
“In you is
My World-Transformation-Hope-Dream,
With you is
My Self-Transcendence-Vision-Manifestation-Promise
And for you is
My Smile-Beauty-Fragrance-Presence.”The Year Two Thousand
Is a decision-examination for humanity:
Either
We bind and blind the old world, and retire
Or
We embrace the new world of the forward march.
The Smile of the Beyond
Is beckoning us
To come and play hide-and-seek.— Sri Chinmoy
Sri Chinmoy offers his message for the New Year at his Peace Concert on 30 November 1999, at Martin Luther King, Jr. High School in New York.
• In 1999, Sri Chinmoy’s book, The New Millennium, was published by Agni Press in New York. It contains poetry and songs dedicated to the New Millennium.
• On 27 December 1999, in Curitiba, Brazil, Sri Chinmoy gives some illumining answers to questions about the New Millennium. He discussed its meaning ... God’s Hour ... newness ... and the words of the New Year’s Message.
• On New Year’s Day, 1 January 2000, Sri Chinmoy composes a Bengali song about the New Year.
• In New York, on 13 July 2000, Sri Chinmoy is interviewed by the Italian magazine Armonia during which he was asked if he had a special wish for the New Millennium.
Sri Chinmoy: “My only wish in this New Millennium is to see everybody happy — happy while looking at the world, happy while helping the world, happy in becoming a true citizen of the world for the tremendous evolution and progress of mankind.”
He param pita nutan barashe karibo na kabhu bhul
Ami habo ek tomar hiyar sudha swapaner phul
O my Absolute Father Supreme,
In the New Year I shall make no mistake.
I shall be a flower of Your Heart’s Nectar-Dream.
