Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Drink this poison


Drink  this  poison  !

When Gandhiji was leaving for London to attend the last-ditch “ Round-Table Conference “ to demand India’s independence from Britain, poet Meghani wrote to Mahatmaji :

“ Even as you know the futility of your mission

  O Bapu

  Drink this last cup of hemlock ( poison ).

  You , who have drank oceans of poison served by the British,

  Do not throw away this spoonful “

( free translation from original Gujarati poem )

Poor people of India are telling Baba Ramdev , on the 7th day of his fast :

Even if your talks fail

Even if your mission seems doomed

Do not shrink

Do not despair.

To save millions dying from hunger,

Like Neelkantha of old

Drink the poison that the Government

Will, no doubt , serve to you.

As Gurudev Tagore sang:

Even if no one hears your call

Even if no one joins your march thru the dark night

Keep going alone.

With regards
