Who Else Is Going To Bring You..?



Who else is gonna bring you
A broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain
There he goes, moving across the water
There he goes turning my wholeworld around
Do you feel what I feel
Can we make that so it's part of the deal
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel
Lay your heart on the line... this time
I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot
summer breeze
Count the heads of sweat that cover me
Didn't you show me a sign, this time
Who else is gonna bring you
A broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain
There he goes, moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole
world around
Can you see what I see
Can you cut behind the mystery
I will meet you by the witness tree
Leave the whole world behind
I want to come when you call
I'll get to you if I have to travel
They can't hold me with these iron walls
We've got mountains to climb
Who else is gonna bring youA broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain
There he goes, moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole
world around

HJS lecture on ‘Nation and Dharma’ during Navaratri Festival at Mahad

September 27, 2009


Ashwin Shukla Navami, Kaliyug Varsha 5111Mahad (Maharashtra): “The present position of Indian society, Nation and Hindu Dharma is very pitiable. Our nation has been completely infested with corruption, ‘jihadi’ terrorism, naxalism and conversion of Hindus. The awareness among people regarding their duty towards Nation and Dharma is dwindling and their pleasure-seeking mentality has reached its peak. In such a situation, all those who are proud of their Nation and Dharma should make efforts for creating ‘sattvikta (pre-dominance of ‘Sattva’)’ among people by following their Dharma (doing ‘Dharmacharan’).” The above appeal was made by Mr. Shriram Kane, the district-coordinator of HJS for Raigad in his guidance during Navaratri Festival at Jakhmata Temple, Mahad. Under the guidance of journalist Mr. Deepak Shinde, so also Mr. Girish Sali and Mr. Nitin Pavale, the newly formed ‘Gramdevata Jakhmata Navaratri Festival Committee’ had initially organized a work-shop for creating awareness among people towards the protection of the Nation and Dharma. In this work-shop, Shri. Shriram Kane, of HJS, Prajapita Brahmakumari Harshaben and Mr. Narendra Mahadik of Rohidas Ganeshotsava Committee expressed their views and it was decided to celebrate Navaratri Festival in an ideal manner like the celebration of the Sree Ganesha Festival. Under this, wrong practices taking place during the ‘Garba’ were prevented and enlightening programs on the topics of the Nation and Dharma were arranged. Shri. Shriram Kane addressed a gathering of 50 persons brought together by Shri. Prashant Pansare Maharaj at Navenagar, Maratha Lane. The participants were quite impressed with the guidance of Shri. Kane and they showed interest in starting a ‘Dharma-shikshan’ class for half an hour during their weekly religious program held every Saturday. Source: Dainik Sanatan Prabhat
