(1) May all these elements cause perpetual good to us. Nature is composed of three qualities i.e Sat, Rajas and Tamas Gunas; the five elements namely fire, water, air, earth and space; the Nine Planets, the three worlds; the seven notes of music; the Ten quarters; and the time – Past, Present & Future. (2) I worship that Bharat Mata (the motherland) whose feet are being washed by the ocean waves, whose crown is the snowy Himalayas, whose illustrious sons have distingiushed themselves as Bhramarshis and/or Rajarishis (3) These mountains of our country should always be remebered – Mahendra (in Orissa), Malaya-Giri (in Mysore), Sahyadri (Western Coast), Himalaya, the abode of Gods, Raivatak (Girnar in Gujarat), Vindhyachal (Central India), and Aravali (in Rajasthan). (4) These are the important rivers; Ganga, Saraswati, Sindhu, Bhramaputra, Gandaki, Kaveri, Yamuna, Reva (Narmada), Krishna, Godavari and Mahanadi. (5) These are the important old cities of our dear motherland worth meditating upon – Ayodhya, Mathura, Maya (Haridwar), Kashi, Kanchi, Avantika (Ujjain), Dwaraka, Vaishali, Somnath, Jagannathpuri, Gaya, Prayag, Pataliputra (Patna), Vijayanagar, Indraprastha (Delhi), the famous Takshashila and Amritsar. (6-7) We must revere these great religious books from the core of our heart - the four Vedas, eighteen Puranas, all the Upanishads, the Ramayana, Mahabharat, Gita, the true philosophies (six Darshanas), the Agama books of Jainism, the Tripitakas of Buddhism and the truthful verses (Vani) of Guru Granth Sahib.
