Nitish Bhattacharjee
...witnessing life
In this small and insane journey called life, let the mantra from Brihadaranyaka Upanishads(1.3.28) be our guide:
असतोमा सद्गमय । तमसोमा ज्योतिर् गमय । मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय ॥ ॐ शान्ति शान्ति शान्तिः ।।
From ignorance, lead me to truth;
From darkness, lead me to light;
From death, lead me to immortality
Om peace, peace, peace
