Invocation to God & Guruji & thanks to all well-wishers
We art the petals of thy manifestation,
Thou art the whole flower.
It is precious life, beauty of creation
And lovliness of thoughts and actions.
Permeate our souls with the fragrance of thy presence


---Yogada prayer
Oh my Lord, how futile it is to show this flickering aarti to thee,
When thou hast the brilliance of billions of dazzling suns;
How meaningless it is to do any offering to thee,
When Lakshmi, the Godess of Wealth is thy  consort
.
Oh my Lord, why didst thou let me slip out of your hand if only to pick me up gently and infuse fresh lease of life in me. May be, it is thy way of giving me an opportunity to continue playing the part of a puppet in thy cosmic drama.(leela)
Thank you my Lord for giving me a consort who went through all the vississitudes of life, especially the latest calamity, with equanimity and total faith in you.  Vinay's love for his parents has an air of purity and divinity in it and Nilima has lent him full support. She showed us love and care which one would expect from a daughter. Vijaya, Vinay and Ajay never wavered from the path of meditation and Yoga technique preached by Paramahansa Yagananda.

In the spiritual domain, oh guruji, the loftiness of your mind is like a mountain, with its majestic peak reaching the stars and the depth of your heart  like the reflection of that peak in the lake below. It is you who taught us how to feel the presence of God within us.Even dear Shantanu has shown great maturity and understanding in being concerned about me and actually praying for me on his own accord..

And as for all of you, my well-wishers, with the inner purity of your hearts  and  the beauty of your minds, you have transformed this little island into an Abode of the Angels. We are all bound by the golden thread of our rich cultural heritage.

We were innundated with calls enquiring about my condition.  Some offered to pick up dear Shantanu from school, some sending cooked food, some rushing to the hospital to lend moral support to my family in facing this calamity and all of you bringing plenty of fruits. It is your care, concern, sympathy and the  sacrifice of your precious time to spend with me in the hospital and later at home that has  cured me so soon,  for which my  gratitude towards you knows no bounds. I was fortunate to have come to know you.

You are the cream and the quintessence of India, the noblest of God's creation. May God bless you all.
