Atmānanda- Laharī

Joy of giving - Poem on Da Da Da  As I was walking down the road, a bright lightening struck abode Soon was followed by a loud thunder which made me wonder! Clouds chatter making a huge sound Da, Da, Da .... It goes all around Meaning of these syllables Explored by ancient ṛṣis Expressed in Brihadaranyaka Opens the minds of all ages  Da Da Da  Damyata, Dayadhvam, Datta Da, Da, Da Dama- Mastery over senses Learning to limit with fences Daya- Compassion to all Ability to lift those who fall Datta- Giving, 'as though' no tomorrow Giving, 'as though' no bones in the hands Giving can be in any form Money, time, Knowledge, Love Let it be the universal norm Give- just like the wind Give- just like the sun Give- just like the water Give- just like the earth Give- without a barrier Give- without any hesitation Because everything is given to you Swami TV talk on Vishnu Sahasranama
