Just a little bit before the Awakin Circle yesterday, Harshida and I had this spontaneous thought of expressing our gratitude -- and offering a prayer.  We felt deeply blessed to receive your goodwill, and since many of you requested the recording and lyrics, we've sharing it below.

Maitri bhav nu pavitra jharnu muj haya ma vahya kare
May the pure stream of loving kindness continue to flow thru me

Shubh thavo aa sakala vishwa nu evi bhavana nitya rahe
May the prayer of universal goodwill be unending within me

Gun thi bharela gunijan dekhi hayu maru nrutya kare
May my heart dance at the sight of virtuous noble ones

E santo na charana kamal ma muj jeevan nu arth rahe
May the essence of my life be in the footsteps of such saints

Deen kreur ne dharma vihona dekhi dil ma dard rahe
May I be filled with compassion for ignorant and under privileged

Karuna bhini ankho ma thi ashru no shub stotra vahe
May my eyes be filled with pious flow of tears of compassion

Maitri bhav nu pavitra jharnu muj haya ma vahya kare
May the pristine stream of loving kindness continue to flow thru me

Marg bhulela jeevan pathik ne marg chindhva ubho rahu
May I be there for those who are lost from the path

Kare upeksha e marag ni to ye samata chit dharu
May I have equanimity to be with those who ignorantly avoid the path of purity

Chitra bhanu ni dharma bhavana haiye sahu manav lave
May all beings bring this good will (by singer Chitra Banu) to their heart

Ver jher na bhav tyaji ne mangal geeto ne gave
May all be free from impurities and sing the lyrics of goodwill

Maitri bhav nu pavitra jharnu muj haya ma vahya kare
May the pristine stream of loving kindness continue to flow thru me
