Our dear friends,
A grand old Thatha sitting in front of his desk top.
And his great old lady sitting with the thousand great things that she does great ,
Are with happiness looking back at the road they had walked.
No doubt there were thorns , stones , pits and lions,
That made their walk difficult often times,
But having faced all of them with tears and smiles,
And now being able to take their well earned rest ,
Surrounded by their kids , kids in law and the grand kids,
And well realizing that their evening is neither hot nor cold,
They are all smiles and are praying God to give a little of their smiles,
To you , your family and your loved ones in this, Ramachander and Jayalakshmi
Thoughts of a 79 year old retired Indian scientist , who is an astrologer, a translator of prayers and poems and a story teller to children.

ReplyDeleteNamo Namaha.
Best Wishes for the New Year.
I sincerely thank you for your terse translations on Hindupedia -- especially the Visnu Sodhasanama Stotram.
Keep pulling ignorants like me out of utter darkness and void that India seems to regale in these days.

Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteI am a great admirer of your translations of Sanskrit Stotras.
I have a request to make:
Could you please post the translations of
1. Sri Shankaracharya's Lakshminrisimha Karavalamba stotram
2. Dashavatara Stotram which starts
Vedoddhara Vicharamate Somaka daanava samharane,with the refrain:
Namasmaraandanyadupaayam nahi pashyaamo bhavatarane
Rama hare krishna hare tava naama vadaami sada nrihare.
Kind regards
Madhusudana
