| Dear
Friends,
The moment,
cordiality embraces love,
The very same
moment
Light dispels
darkness:
The snowy
peaks glitter, glaciers gleam,
The waters
shine and twinkle, like stars,
In the clear,
blue skies;
A cool breeze
blows.
The.swinging
ripples lend grace
And go a-dancing,
a-dancing
To the rhythm
& music of soothing splashes
Amidst the
flashes of inner and outer reflections
From mirrory
lakes;
The earth
goes green:
As the guilder
rose bursts open
Into welcome
bloom
To push back
cloudy gloom:
Dear Reader,
Breathe refreshing
air under the shade of breezy chinars, bring down tempers, calm tension
ridden, violent minds and work for peace, progress and prosperity throughout
the country, Let us, in all humility, submission & BHAKTI, join together
in prayer, chanting Rabindra Nath Tagore's exhortations to the Almighty.
Lord of the universe. thus.
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 sands of dead habit:
Where the
mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening
thoughts and actions,
Unto that
heaven of freedom, my father, let my counts,
awake.
Rabindra
Nath Tagore |
