ॐ

वक्रतुंड महाकाय कोटिसूर्यसमप्रभ।

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

“Lord Ganesh of curved elephant trunk and huge body,
Whose brilliance is equal to billions of suns in intensity,
Always removes all obstacles from my endeavours truly,
I respectfully pray to him with all my revered sincerity.”

My Mother - Amma

Her touch was my solace,
Her smile did encourage,
Her love was my strength,
Her stare, I fully decant,
Her care was my power,
Her joy was my shower,
Her anger corrected my path,
Her laughter filled my heart,
Her silence made me ponder,
Her glare was my reminder,
Her scorn corrected my track,
Her embrace I never did lack.

If stuck in religious path or pit,
Use spirituality ladder to ascend.

May the sunshine ever greet you
~ and sorrows flow away;
May knowledge flow within you,
~ and darkness fade away.

त्वमेव माता च पिता त्वमेव,
त्वमेव बन्धुश्च सखा त्वमेव ।
त्वमेव विद्या द्रविणं त्वमेव,
त्वमेव सर्वं मम देव देव ॥

You my mother and father be,
You are kin and friend to me;
You my knowledge, wealth be,
God of gods! You my all do be.
