Thanks for sharing the petite prayer.
Incidentally, Mohana, the way you spell it, means the meeting point of the river and the sea. In Bangla.
Best regards

The boat and see remind me of a favourite of mine:
Protegez moi, mon Seigneur,
Ma barque est si petite,
Et votre mer est si grande!
Protect me, O Lord,
My boat is so small,
And your sea is so big!
This is a fisherman's prayer by an anonymous Old Breton .
