I wish to make a special appeal to mothers to take up the sacred responsibility of keeping the lamp of sangita (music) burning bright in their homes and to instill a love for good music in their children from a tender age.
Love is the firstborn, loftier than the gods, fathers and men. You, O Love, are the eldest of all, altogether mighty. To you we pay homage!...
When there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.
Who realises all the happiness he desires? Everything is in the hands of God. Therefore, one should learn contentment.
The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future.
