B E N E D I C T I O N

Acknowledgement :This Poem was composed by the Writer (Self)based on the information collated from 'Thought For The Day' a daily inspirational message received through Internet as circulated by Swami Shankar Das Sharma of ISKON of USA.

OH MY LORD
Lord of the Three Worlds
I thank You for being by my side
Whenever I thought of You
Blessed will I be
If I remember You all the time.

OH MY LORD
Lord of the Three Worlds
I thank U for saving me
From Helplessness and Pitfalls
I seek Ur blessings with Ur Divine Vision
Of what lies beyond my current living
Guide me to understand Reality from Delusion.

Oh My LORD
Lord of the Three Worlds
I know I can do nothing on my own
Without UR grace and blessings
Or without remembering U all the time
Give me UR support now and forever
To release myself from the cycle of Birth and Death
And from the unspent vasanas amassed from my past deeds

Oh My LORD
Lord of the Three worlds
I seek Ur mercy to serve You till eternity
I know I have to repay the debt
For the unlimited bliss U have showered on me
There is nothing this wayward self can do
But to denote my existance eternally to You
To do this I seek Ur Benediction.

CARE FOR HUMANITY

Acknowledgement---- This Poem composed by the writer (Self)is based on the English translation of the Original in Sanskrit provided by BAPS SRI SWAMINARAYAN MANDIR TRUST London as found in ATHARVANA VEDA and other scriptures in HINDUISM to be able to understand the oldest living scripture in its proper perspective.The writer is not certain whether this writing in the form of the poem serves its purpose.Any inadequacy in the same is entirely due to deficiency on the part of this writer for which I seek your pardon.



We are the living Creatures
Of the same Lord as in above
Our skins may be coloured
Fair, Dark or Tanned.

We may speak in different tongues
Show Faith in different beliefs
Belong to different cultures
Or destined to live as Man or Woman.

We still share the same home
The Earth beneath on which we roam
We are born in the same planet
Covered by the same Skies above.

Gazing at the same stars
Breathing the same Air
Our needs are also common
And our blood is Red in us all.

We all Born,Live and Die
Equally ignorent of the Life beyond
Each with a mission to complete
We live our life as destined by God.

Whence have We come and
Whither are We going?
Quite frankly We do not know
We seek answers in the psalm of life.

As We live,We must live together
And pray in Mass to our Lord above
Though Singly to live we may be able
Collectively alone can we survive.
