Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Namaste, The news of this destruction is heart rending. Those who are there now must be stunned and overwhelmed. My heart goes out to them. Naturally I pray that they be strengthened and comforted. I searched the text I have been working with for words that might express... something. I thought that the verses of the RAtisUkta begin to express my feelings on this. Om The Goddess Night, approaching, illumines every direction with Her eyes. She has put on all Her glories. The immortal Goddess has filled the world's breadth, heights, and depths with Her light. She drives away the darkness. The approaching Goddess follows upon Her sister, Dawn, at whose coming the darkness likewise departs. Now She is upon us: at Her coming we go to rest as birds to their nest in a tree. The villagers have gone to rest, and so, too, all the creatures that walk, or fly, even the ravenous hawks. Ward off the she-wolf and the wolf, and ward off the thief, O wave of darkness, and be easy for us to pass through. For now, the palpable blackness crushes down upon me. O Dawn, collect it dutifully. As you would accept a precious herd of cattle, O Daughter of heaven, O Night, accept this hymn, offered as if to a conqueror. pr , " Harsha " wrote: > > Dear Friends: > > > > I have summarized some information about the Haiti earthquake from various > sources. > > > > the-haiti-earthquake/ > > > > Namaste and love to all > > Harsha > > I am sorry to say 250 of my colleagues perished(subject to confirmation).
