‘The waters which are from heaven, and which flow afer
being dug, and even those that spring by themselves, the
bright pure waters which lead to the sea, may those divine waters protect me here.’
- Rigved
How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and the heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,How beautiful is the rain!
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Summer rain is here, feel the rain, resonate with rain,
dance on the beats of rhythm divine & bring purest soul home!

The soul is a river. Good karma that one accumulates is the steps on the banks of the river. Truth is the water that flows in it. Character is the banks of that river. Compassion is a wave in it. Oh son of Pandu, take a bath in such a river. The inner mind is cleansed by such introspection but not by water.
- Hitopadesha, Sandhi
Can I learn to live like river by sitting in my bedroom, watching Discovery program about Ganga? No, I must walk towards bank of Ganga.
