he had completed bowing to the elders, then taking those paadukaas Bharatji offered<br />
them at the feet of the Lord and he bowed full body prostrated at the feet of the Lord.<br />

with his hands and hugged him to his heart. It was as if two separated oceans had met had<br />
sudedenly met again. This was witness to the love of two brothers. The statue of the love<br />
two brothers wanted to be enjoined. The ten directions and the sky together with nature<br />
stilled watching the love between the two brothers. From the sky, the deities showered<br />
flowers.<br />

From the hearts of all, an eternal ocean of love was flowing. The meeting of brothers, the<br />
pure love of them, it‘s witness became personified here.<br />
