My Country Awake – poem by Tagore

By on September 27, 2006 in india, inspiration, tagore

My Country Awake

Where the mind is without fear and the head held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening thought and action;
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Anthology of Ramana Maharshi

By on September 27, 2006 in teachers

An anthology of Sri Ramana Maharshi (1879 – 1950) with accounts by 160 persons who had an opportunity to meet, serve and live with him was recently released.

Ramana Maharshi

Karnataka Governor T.N. Chaturvedi was present at the release of the 400-page book compiled by a team led by Prof. Laxminarayana, a former Dean of Commerce of Osmania University. The book is titled "Face-to-Face with Sri Ramana Maharshi". The programme was organised by Sri Ramana Kendram.

Mr. Chaturvedi said the book, for which he had written the foreword, made the readers emotionally attached to Ramana Maharshi’s literature. He said there were a number of stories about the Maharshi although he was self-absorbed with spirituality. Mr. Chaturvedi was past president of Ramana Kendram, New Delhi.
