Equality in all Beings is the sign of the Free.

The 'Bundle of joy unearth' was the six photographs of Swamiji taken in 1893 after the Parliament days. One of which is very famous and familiar to us in which Swamiji is standing with arms folded across His chest. This photograph was used as a colour poster during the Parliament days. The bundle contained this photo along with other 5 pictures which were autographed by Swamiji. Think of the joy Sister Gargi must have felt when she got these pictures from Swami Vishwananda. These are all having original Sanskrit mottoes written in Bengali script and inscribed with English letters. The transcript on all SIX photographs goes as follows:

1. 'Ajaramaravat prajnah vidyam arthancha chintayetGrihita' - iva kesheshu     mrityuna dharmam acharet:

When in search of knowledge or prosperity think that you would never have death or disease, and when worshipping God think that death's hand is in your hair.

 2. ‘Eka eva suhrid dharma nidhanepyanuyati yah’:

   Virtue is the only friend which follows us even beyond the grave. Everything else ends with death.

           

 3. ‘One infinite pure and holy - beyond thought beyond qualities I bow down to thee’

4. ‘Samata sarva - bhuteshu etanmuktasya Lakshanam’ -  Equality in all beings is the sign of the free.

5. ‘Thou art the only treasure in this world’

6. ‘Thou art the father the lord the mother the husband and love’

Now you can find these photographs and connect with them easily. I don't know how to do it yet but i shall try to post those pictures on the blog shortly....

Wasn't the waiting for two days worthwhile?
