BIRTHDAY WISH TO PARNIKA, 22 JUNE, 2021

At this braahmamuhurt I wish you a very happy birthday. May your birth be a beacon unto humanity and set for all a standard to abide by ! May posterity behold in you an illustration of the ideal human being which the rishis have envisaged, one in whom the human and the divine have coalesced to become an integrated whole with feet planted firmly on earth and head peering high into the heavens, the heart pulsating to the one theme, 'Ayam lokah priyatama.' (This earth is dearest.) Such a harmony of head and heart may this birth anniversary initiate, fulfilling the early promise that has thus far lain in bud or a semi-blossoming tending to a future fruition ! May all good attend on you and yours, with the latter neighbourhood encompassing the wide world among which may this be the dearest, 'Janani janmabhumishcha svargaadapi gariyasi !' (My motherland is my mother, more glorious than heaven.)
