On the rock of Faith
On the rock of Faith
Sitting on a rock of the peninsular tip
Watching the waters of the Seven Seas
Rushing from three directions to embrace
The rock of Faith in Vivekanand’s name.
Brothers and sisters of the world, I invoke
The Faith by which the Sun rises and sets
The mountains rise, the snow melts,
Rivers of faith flow sustaining life
On the earth, in water and the sky above
Vying each other in self-sacrificial oblations
Spreading the message through fragrant air:
Love isn’t asked for, it comes back by giving.
The oblations of water to the Sun and Wind
Come back to the seas in refreshing showers
With varied flora and fauna to regale life
Wolf and lamb drink from the same stream
Ferocious wild life disappears from scene
Vestiges of life carbon cycle rejuvenate
Photosynthesis abundant oxygen generates.
It is crisis of faith that Nature we distrust
Openly man kills man and terror outbursts
Many innocent lives are cut short each day,
Garden of Faith harbored terror of alien port.
Come, O Faith, with firm trust
Come and all miseries combust
Overcome the darkness of mind
Enkindle the hearts of men
Reconstruct the Brotherhood of faiths
To reverberate the Nature’s music in man
Restore the harmony and peace of his mind.
