Sister Rosemary needs our prayerful support
for a successful outcome for a medical intervention,
scheduled for Friday, 27th January, 2006.
Be pleased to show mercy, O God!
From Bhagavad gita
Thou art the Imperishable, the supreme Object of Knowledge;
Thou art the ultimate resting-place of this universe;
Thou art the immortal guardian of the eternal right,
Thou art the everlasting Spirit, I hold.
Without beginning, middle, or end, of infinite power,
Of infinite arms, whose eyes are the moon and sun,
I see Thee, whose face is flaming fire,
Burning this whole universe with Thy radiance.
For this region between heaven and earth
Is pervaded by Thee alone, and all the directions;
Seeing this Thy wondrous, terrible form,
The triple world trembles, O exalted one!
Homage be to Thee from, in front and from behind,
Homage be to Thee from all sides, Thou All!
O Thou of infinite might, Thy prowess is unmeasured;
Thou attainest all; therefore Thou art All!
Thou art the father of the world of things that move and move not,
And Thou art its revered, most venerable Guru;
There is no other like Thee-how then a greater?
Even, in the three worlds, O Thou of matchless greatness
Therefore, bowing and prostrating my body,
I beg grace of Thee, the Lord to be revered:
As a father to his son, as a friend to his friend,
As a lover to his beloved, be pleased to show mercy, O God!
Hope all went well for you Rosemary. Chanted the Mahamrtyunjaya Mantra for you from time to time.. I suppose we have little control over the physical body and its ills, but some choice in how we deal with them. Jaya Ma !
