"The Name is my scripture, my bath, my giving, my family."

Themes and Cross-Connections
Turning outer forms inward; the Name as the one center of a whole life; all who share it are family. Connects to Naam as living presence and to the caste- and creed-leveling kinship at the heart of the project.
For Raag Bhairao
The raag's brightness suits this glad inventory of a life gathered around one center.
Translation Notes
Interfaith care. The Vedas, sacred sound, and worship of deities are named respectfully — the shabad is one heart's wholehearted focus on the Name, not a dismissal of others' scriptures or practices. Rendered evenhandedly per project rules; the sacred source sections are untouched.
