Book Notes
Tribute
Souvenir offering of Tributes to the Kali Yuga Avatar
on 80th Anniversary of Advent
Dedication
Bhagavan who dwells in the heart of everyone of us is an eternal Souvenir
Himself proclaiming our divine origin. How then can a man-made souvenir help us
wish Him a Happy Birthday - Him who is birthless, deathless, ageless? This
volume, therefore, is an attempt to place on record, for our own satisfaction,
the outpourings from the hearts of some of His children their appreciation,
adoration and eloquent expression of gratitude for the One who willed to become
many.
What a glorious chunk of 80 years of human existence! The
loving glory of the Avatar flowed like a murmuring pellucid stream bestowing
its bounty and cool on the millions and millions on its banks in hills and
dales, on curves and plains and on sands and rocks, with ease and grace,
showering benediction on all, east or west, black, yellow, brown or white
embracing all in its clasp.
What a fruitful 80 years! Thousands
have been corrected and straightened, advised and admonished, sheltered and
rehabilitated, clothed, fed and educated, nursed and cured, guarded, guided and
transformed every day, nay, every hour, all over the globe - no rest, no sleep.
0 Divine Father! How greatly indebted are we to you! Our heads bow low in
gratitude at Thy Divine Lotus Feet.
Pray, 0 Compassionate One!
Kindly accept our humble Tributes and Pranams on this holy occasion. We Are
Ever at Thy Lotus Feet ...
