Just read the article in facebook showing a picture of Mr.Kejriwal being blessed by his mother when he is leaving for the swearing in and she blessing her 'go and serve the people selflessly.' It reminded me a beautiful poem read in school in Odia literature 'Gandharira ashirvada' meaning Mother Gandhari's blessing.She as a mother obviously wishes and blesses her children as that's the primary duty of a mother but as a great lady she was standing every step on the side of righteousness says 'Jaa bira rane deuchhi melani nakara dukha bhaya, akshya heu punya jagate dharmara heu jaya.'meaning 'my dear brave sons,go to the war with the blessings without fear and grief,but let the virtues be immortal and let only right (dharma)win'. And here when the mother's blessings and dharma both are and should be on Arvind's side I am sure amidst scepticism, cynicism,age old power and money play,amidst high unfair exaggerated expectations and criticism, bad and good times coming and going he will come virtuous, brighter and leave a trail for the generations to follow . If we look inside the history and the scriptures alike there have been extraordinary people who have travelled a path less travelled by and have not followed a conventional path rather they have lead where there were none and left a trail. This is what my inner sense tells me today.Time will be the best judge.My heartfelt wishes and prayer for the country and him.Jai Hind !
