Q407
Why is the Veda called Sruthi ?
Sound is the very core of Veda. Sound is associated with harmony and melody and hence has to be heard and ecstasy derived therefrom. It is not to be analyzed, commented upon and judged. This is the reason why the Veda is called Sruthi (that which is heard).
(Vidya Vahini, pg 1)
O LORD, TAKE MY LOVE
O Lord, take my love, and let it flow in fullness of devotion to Thee;
O Lord, take my hands, and let them work incessantly for Thee;
O Lord, take my soul, and let it be merged in One with Thee;
O Lord, take my mind and thoughts, and let them be in tune with Thee;
O Lord, take my everything, and let me be an instrument to work for Thee.
