VII\n\u00a0\u00a0Thee, God, such matchless powers adorn\n That thou without a foe was born.\n Thou art the Lord of Lords,\n Adored by Men\u2014revered by Gods.\n\u00a0\u00a0The circling times which wear away,\n All else, to thee can not decay;\n Thou shinest on in youthful force,\n While countless Yugas run their course.\n\u00a0\u00a0Unvexed by cares, or fears, or strife,\n In bliss serene flow on thy life,\n With faith we claim thine aid divine,\n As thou art Mother, and we are thine.\nAn old Hindu prayer. The metrical translation from the Sanskrit writers, by Mr. J. Muir, with modifications by author.\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nMy sincere thanks to every author and publisher, here quoted in my book and I also want to add my thanks to Irene Ward, Grace Curtis and Clare McKinney for their unceasing efforts to help me bring it out in three weeks.\nIf all great men were good and all good men would write a book this world would be made better by their activities.\nRishi Gherwal's books are observations of nature and nature is God's \"Master-piece\". They are historical records of true facts of the Hindu books on philosophy, and are like a visit to that old ancient Temple of Mathra.\nHis manner of teaching and writing inspires us with the knowledge of ourselves, to be the same as the Universal Brotherhood\u2014, Self of the Universe, with God's poise and sense of mastery.\nHis books give us the blessed assurance that we no longer need to travel to get wisdom. Study TRUTH and absorb its teachings, and the world will come to you, as it has to him.\nMay Peace be Unto him, together with a benediction of love, with our blessings.\nDr. and Mrs. J. D. Ward.","title":"Kundalini, The Mother of the Universe: To the Kundalini\u2014The Mother of the Universe","type":"page"}
