Yesterday being 9/11 - I was very disturbed just reviewing some of the news in the Washington Post... and at the Hair Cuttery - I was thinking about the co-incidence of both Ganesh Chathurthy and Eid falling on the same day 9/11, 2010. Never had a conversation with my wife Meena about it... Came home late at night after a soul stirring sathsang at the AOL DC center and Meena showed me the prayer she wrote "on 9/11" (which stunned me because of the fact that I thought of the co-incidence too and repeated
Gayathri Mantra - most of the day:
A PRAYER on 9/11:
Light the Lamp of peace, Dear Ganesha,
As we celebrate your birthday with joy...
Light the Lamp of brotherhood Dear Allah,
As we celebrate Eid with fervor...
Light the Lamp of Love Dear Jesus,
As we remember lives lost today, years ago...
Light the Lamp of Truth, Dear Lord,
So we know you are the one behind names and forms
