Dear.Dr.Rajgopalan,
On the Auspicious occasion of the Birth
Anniversary of this Great Son of India, the best Tributes to him, would be, to remember his words
in all the times to come and practice them as best as we can.
i quote him from his speeches from Colombo to Almora.
"This is the ancient land where wisdom made it's
Home before it went into any other country,the same India whose influx of spirituality is represented on the material plane by rolling rivers like oceans,where the eternal Himalayas,rising tier above tier with their snow caps,look as it were into the very mysteries of Heaven.--- This is the land from whence,like the tidal waves,spirtuality and philosophy have again and again rushed out and deluged the world and this is the land from where such ideas must proceed once again.--- It is the same land which
stands firmer than any rock in the world with it's
indestructible life.It's life is of the nature as the Soul-immortal;and we are the children of such a Country."

OM-TAT-SAT

DR. SSR,

I join you in saluting this great son of Bharat. I like to quote Swamiji's idea about the message of the Upanishads:

"This infinite power of spirit brought to bear upon matter evolves material development, made to act upon thought evolves intelectually, and made to act upon itself makes of man a God."
