From Rabindrananth Tagore

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

– Rabindrananth Tagore –

Standing before the Statue of Shiva, I remembered my dear friend WN who is very much devoted to the Lord and wears the Trident as his lucky charm. God bless us allAt Ramakrishna Mission Bglore

Sufi Amir Khusro

What beauty can be there in surmah, the kohl powder, O Khusro?!
Apply the dust from His doorstep, and beautify your Soul…..

(Inspired by the Great Sufi Amir Khusro of Delhi)

About Yajna, Sankeertan and Seva

“The Spirit of Yajna (Offering to the Lord) while working; Naam-Sankeertan (Chanting of Divine Glories); and Seva (Setving the Less Privileged) – this is the Trident needed to pierce through the veil of ignorance, suffering, and all calamities.”
