Pronams revered Swamiji, my spiritual teacher and the messenger of enlightenment, bless me.

This is exquisite, especially the verses describing the macrocosm & microcosm (Brahman & individual self) as honey & bright effulgence. Swamiji's bright enthusiasm & big heartedness here as elsewhere are just a delight. They lift up my spirit as much as his wisdom. He is a wonderful teacher. I am so grateful he has become an everyday part of my life. Thank you, thank you, from Australia 🙏💕🌟🕉
