Hay ! Ram
The name of Ram gives me immense power.
For self reliance the name of Ram and his kind grace are the
ultimate means.
Listening to Ramayan recitation is the foundation of my
passion for Ram. I believe that the Ramayan
written by Tulsidas is the best epic of devotional path.
India of my dreams – I shall work for an India in which the
poorest shall feel that is their country, in whose making they have an
effective voice, an India in which there shall be no high class and low class
of people; an India in which all communities shall live in perfect harmony.
There can be no room in such an India
for the curse of untouchability, or the curse of intoxicating drinks and drugs.
Women will enjoy the same rights as men. We shall be at peace with all the rest
of the world. This is the India
of my dreams.
