"O Mother, all my actions, may be taken in the following manner:such
as my useless talks as Your name's recitation, My physical labour as
Your prayerful modes, my walks as Your circumambulations, my eating
food as an offering to You also, my restfulness as my prostration to
You, and all other modes of enjoyments also as my dedications to You
also.
This was very dear to Swami Nishreyasanandaji of Shri Ramkrishna Order
who influenced many of us from 1977 till 1991 at the time of his
death. In many ways He is responsible for all my religious work - the
selfless services for the people, conducting ceremonies etc., and
creation of this temple complex. He actually marked this verse in my
copy of the book and also verse 78. The same configuration is
attributed to verse 34 and 69 which may be beneficial to people.
He marked many of the other verses in my book.
Among the people whose lives he
touched, one was late Anant Shah, husband of Mrs. Bharati Shah and
father of Sapna who is now married to Bill. He actually served as
one of the secretaries of the Trust.
