We've got a Mother like no other- lyrics

[Guest guest]

Two dear beings who came to one of the first yagnas in Concord in 1984

were Sarvananda and Maitrai. Their bhava (word in Sanskrit

meaning "attitude of life in love") was always in tune with Mother and

Swamiji's bhava, and they were also singers who at the drop of a hat

would break out in a happy barbershop quartet-style "Down by the Old

Millstream" or "When the Saints Come Marching In". They were the ideal

couple in that they had respect for one another, for Mother and

Swamiji, and all of life. Their lyrics and melody for this song and

for many other songs are greatly appreciated here at the Devi Mandir

and are sung regularly. Jai Maa, Gautam
