As Former Prime Minister Patrick Manning takes his final journey, I would like to honour his life on earth with a most appropriate song. (YouTube)
EK DIN AISA AAYEGA
- 'One day we will leave this world with all we collected while alive and move to the God our generator with empty hands.'
- 'It is certain that a day like this will come to us all. We come with nothing and go with nothing.'
A beautiful bhajan reflecting the reality of Life.
PEACE!
