Pujya Sri Swamiji had the "Dayananda Panchakam" recited in front of an audience of 1400 at the anniversary yesterday. Acharya Sri Swami Tattvavidanandaji (PH.D in Sanskrit) did the recitation. As a Sanskrit scholar, Swamiji praised ever aspect of the slokas. Rather than me elaborate on it, it would be more effective if you listen to it. I will let you know when the anniversary program is uploaded on to our website. With regards, Srividyananda 15

The whole stotra is a gift from Bhagavan and it is an offering to Bhagavan. With best wishes and love.

I think I have to read them leisurely, but even at first glance, one can see that it is from the heart of Pushpa. And it is rhyming well. With best wishes and love. Yours, Dayananda 21
