A beautiful prayer Savita.... in everyone's life, there are moments when we find things slipping out of control, also moments when we are afflicted by nameless agonies... On such moments, a prayer uttered in all earnestness and faith can clear the fog in our mind and allow light to seep inside! None except God can lift our burdens...! I love all the poems in Tagore's Gitanjali!
The Goddess who resides in all beings in the form of strength, I bow to her, I bow to her. What of us, even the lifeless matter bows to her. a lovely poem.
