Dear Tanmaya ~ thank you for bringing "Asato maa sadgamaya" forward.

This is one of my very favorite ... mantras? affirmations? prayers?

Do you know the whole passage and, if so, can you share it with us?

I also thank you for reminding me about the witness. This is very key to everything.

Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda

I don't know where it's from, but it sure is powerful!
