It is akin to our human physiology, and when the strings resonate, it touches the heart and uplifts the spirit." Sri Sri

The Voice of Nature
"Formalities are like wrapping paper. When we buy something, it is wrapped in paper. Similarly, in life formalities should be given only that much importance.
