I always loved your sensitivity, Umesh! You are Humane,Humanistic,liberal, trying to help wherever.
You bombard Assamnet with Gyaan like somebody else is threatening to--with an Epoch-Making -website which you already proposed a dozen times in the last 1 year.
Tarun&Bhubon--our Tom and Jerry pair- are NOT in the devotional mode. They are in the pre- meditated/manipulating mode before the ensuing Jamunamukh Bye Election . If they cannot win they are switched down to 'Her Majesty's loyal opposition' mode. Every vote in this Muslim majority constituency counts.They try hard-but lack finesse. That's what I observed!
St.Francis the ASSISI's hymn is so beautiful!
So are all hymns.
Only the Tom&Jerry pair were not in the serene mood or mode!
Shalom!

Mukul-da,I do not see what is wrong in praying in a mosque or church or temple of another faith. I recently sang hymns in a Baptist church in Virginia alongwith my visa sponsor www.sonlightinternational.com last weekend while attending a memorial service of a relative of theirs whose family is very active in India in socio-religious matters. We sang songs which were directed to God (Allah or Jehovah or Ishwar) just as we did in my Caholic High School in India -- I esp like the song by found of Society of Jesus (Jesuits) Fracis of Isisi --Peace Prayer*Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.Although this popular “peace prayer” is attributed to St. Francis, it was not composed by him. According to the Franciscan Archive, itfirst appeared in 1912, as an anonymous prayer in a French devotional magazineUmesh
