Shubho Mahalaya 2020.
On the dawn of Mahalaya, listening to Birendra Krishna Bhadra soaring Sanskrit recitation is a Bengali tradition I grew up with. It holds a special nostalgic place in my heart marking the beginning of Durga Puja festivities celebrating the battle of good over evil.
Praying may Devi, Ma Durga heal the earth especially this year when so many souls were lost by the Covid-19, may the ugliness of racism burn to ashes, may light prevail after all the darkness we are facing this cursed year .
May the Divine blessings guide us through our struggles and troubles and bless us. And Hope heal the human hearts, and lead us through to light, good health and happiness. A sincere gratitude to all the healthcare professionals.
