Ganesha

Dedicated to the Goddess Shri Raja Rajeshwari, the guiding light of my life. 

The striking feature of Sanskrit verses is its inherent sweetness in sound and meaning. One need not have mastery over music. But these verses when understood and recited from the heart, the rhythm comes on its own. Almost everyone responds warmly to a sincere recitation. The inner joy, peace, and relaxation we derive from it is inexplicable and incomparable.

To my grandchildren, each wonderful... each different...
And to all others who love to share the joy of reciting the verses.
