Maitri Bhavnu (Song of Amity)
by Gurudev Chitrabhanuji
May the sacred stream of amity flow forever in my heart, May the universe prosper, such is my cherished desire;
May my heart sing with ecstasy at the sight of the virtuous,
And may my life be an offering at their feet,
May my heart bleed at the sight of the wretched, the cruel, and the
poor, And may tears of compassion flow from my eyes,
May I always be there to show the path to the pathless wanderers of.
life. Yet if they should not hearken to me, may I bide patiently;
May the spirit of goodwill enter into all our hearts, May we all sing together the immortal song of brotherhood,
The immortal song of sisterhood,
Maitribhavnun pavitra zarnu muj haiyaman vahya kare
Shubh thao a sakal vishvanu evi bhavna nitya rahe
Gunathi bharela gunijan dekhi haiyu maru nritya kare E santona charan kamalma muj jivannu arghya rahe
Din krur ne dhrama vihona dekhi dilman dard rahe Karuna bhini aankhomanthi ashruno shubh srot vahe
Marga bhulela jivan pathikne marga chindhava ubho rahu
Kare upeksha e maragni toye samta chitta dharu
Veerprabhuni dharma bhavna haiye sahu manav lave Ver zerna pap tajine mangal gito sau gave... Maitri Bhavnu..
