O the best of the teachers! The supreme lord having the bull as banner! None of the wise is equal to
thee! Thou who art compassionate to those who have taken refuge! The treasure trove of truth! Be thou
my refuge o master, Sankara
O dear friend! May this birthday bring auspiciousness and joy to you forever! Indeed, we all pray for
your long life. May the Lord always protect you! By noble deeds, may you attain fame, and may your
life be fulfilled!
We offer prayers our Sat-Guru, Shri Swami Chinmayananda. In whom divinity and compassion are
personified. His feet are the abode of Peace. He removes the misapprehensions of those who
surrender to Him and loots away their sins, sorrows, and anxieties. He sang (gave discourses on) the
Vedas, Upanishads and Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, and rekindled the light of Sanatana Dharma. He
loved and expounded on the pristine logic of Adi Shankaras philosophy (of Advaita Vedanta, or
Oneness). Our revered Gurudeva resides eternally in Siddhabari (literally, the abode of Perfection),
in the land of austerities (inhabited by the ancient rishis). He is the eternal source of Bliss in the hearts
of His devotees.
