Let us be grounded in human affairs, with a human touch, related to human endeavours, of human possibilities, for peace and friendliness among humans. Earlier we use to sing we shall overcome..., I hope the future is about no more wars, conflict, racism, castism, colorism, biases but of cooperation for progress of mankind | ||

Nasadiya Sukta Verse 1 Sanskrit Transliteration: Na asat aseat na u sat aseat tadanem na aseet rajo na vyoma paro yat Kim avarivah kuha kasya sharmann ambhah kim aseat gahanam ghabheeram English Translation: Then there was neither non-existence nor existence; There was no realm of air, no sky beyond it. What covered it, and where? What gave it shelter? Was there water there, unfathomed depth of water? Verse 2 Sanskrit Transliteration: Na mrityuh aseat amritam na tarhi na raatrya ahna aseat praketah Aaneet avaatam svadhaya tad ekam tasmad ha anyad na parah kim chana aseaet English Translation: Death was not then, nor was there aught immortal; No sign was there, the day’s and night’s divider. That One Thing, breathless, breathed by its own nature; Apart from it was nothing whatsoever. Verse 3 Sanskrit Transliteration: Tama aseat tamasa goolham agre apraketam salilam sarvam aa idam Tuchyena aabhu apihitam yad aaseet tapasah tan mahina ajaayata ekam English Translation: Darkness there was at first, concealed in darkness; All this was undistinguished, formless ocean. That which was hidden and void, that One Was born through the power of fiery heat (Tapas).

Who will here proclaim it? Whence was it produced? Whence is this creation? The gods came afterwards, with the creation of this universe. Who then knows whence it has arisen?
