Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.
At the beginning I show my respect to one God, Supreme of all Supreme. I show my respect to all the enlightened Masters of the past. I show my respect to all the Master and Teacher of Peace, who are carrying the light of peace and dedicated their life for that. And I am showing my respect to all the heroes and heroines of the future , who will be self-realized and will become enlightened .
"The body, they say, is a boat and the soul is the sailor. Samsara is the ocean which is crossed by the great sages."
