Good day to remember 3 things: sambandha, adhidheya, prayojan

1) sambandha - where we r now

3) prayojan - where we want to go to stay/live permanently

2) abhidheya - how to get there

And their 3 vaiSNavAcaryas: ZrIla SanAtan GoswAmI, ZrIla RaghunAth dAs GoswAmI, ZrIla RUpa GoswAmI respectively

I am also remembering with gratitude those that have sacrificed on the mundane level for the religious freedoms that are in the USA which allowed His Divine Grace to bring the message of those that Tarunji has mentioned.

 

What was that old Rolling Stones song?Title escapes me but there was a line..."Let's drink to the common foot soldier...the salt of the earth". Something like that anyway.

 

So today I raise my cup of nectar and toast them, the common foot soldiers that laid it all on the line.

Salt of the Earth

 

By Jagger/Richards

 

Lets drink to the hard working people

 

Lets drink to the lowly of birth

 

Raise your glass to the good and the evil

 

Lets drink to the salt of the earth

 

 

Say a prayer for the common foot soldier

 

Spare a thought for his back breaking work

 

Say a prayer for his wife and his children

 

Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

 

 

 

 

And when I search a faceless crowd

 

A swirling mass of gray and

 

Black and white

 

They don't look real to me

 

In fact, they look so strange

 

 

 

 

Raise your glass to the hard working people

 

Lets drink to the uncounted heads

 

Lets think of the wavering millions

 

Who need leaders but get gamblers instead

 

 

 

 

Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter

 

His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows

 

And a parade of the gray suited grafters

 

A choice of cancer or polio

 

 

 

 

And when I search a faceless crowd

 

A swirling mass of gray and

 

Black and white

 

They don't look real to me

 

In fact, they look so strange

 

 

 

 

Lets drink to the hard working people

 

Lets think of the lowly of birth

 

Spare a thought for the rag taggy people

 

Lets drink to the salt of the earth

 

 

 

 

Lets drink to the hard working people

 

Lets drink to the salt of the earth

 

Lets think of the two thousand million

 

Lets think of the humble of birth
