Sorry for the errors in the sanskrit text posted. Some syllables were wrong and it missed my notice as I was in a hurry to board the train.I still have some time and thought I should check again.And this time I saw some errors. Normally I usually have some(maybe many) typos in almost all postings I make.This is because I make big postings and am hard pressed for time. Ultimately it is feelings which I want to convey not words. Yours yogically, Shreeram Balijepalli Purity, Powers, Parabrahmam...
