Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 Sankaram Sivasankaram Dear Sangeetha what a fitting tribute it would be if everyone imbibes what the little angel niveditha achieved thru her deeds and not merely by words. let everyone try to follow Baba's advice on the special day where it should not stop with mere emotion at that particular moment. i for one who had the opportunity to move with that family always remember the dedication and commitment they have for Samratchana and thru Samratchana to Baba. with my blessings to the noble soul and love to the rest of the family Guha > " Sangeethaa N.C.
