The Golden Age Cometh
From Walt Whitman's poem, "A Passage to India":
Lo, soul! seest thou not God's purpose from the first?
The earth to be spann'd, connected by net-work,
The people to become brothers and sisters,
The races, neighbors, to marry and be given in marriage,
The oceans to be cross'd, the distant brought near,
The lands to be welded together.
Thought for the Day
The Universe is the Field where God sports. Be aware of this fact in every moment of consciousness and there is nothing more you need for a happy existence. For, you will then contact God in everything, through every thought, at every place and at very moment. His glory is evident in the smallest flower and the most distant star. The joy that you can derive from the contemplation of these proofs of providence is indescribable. Lord Krishna has said in the Bhagavad Geetha that He is ever by the side of the joyous being. Be joyful yourself and share it with others. Limited happiness arising out of self-centeredness should be given up.

Behold the Day
"Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!"

Kalidasa
Sai Ram,
Well it is after an extremely long break that we post again, and I'd like to bring to your attention a web page which links to a number of
stothras. It contains prayers addressed to Vishnu, Siva and the Mother Goddess, as well as some Vedic hymns you would be familiar with, such as the
Rudram and
Narayana Suktham. I was intrigued to find
Bhaja Govindam there as I thought it was only a bhajan!
