I heard from Vidagdha that she had written some articles and they were on your site (which is very nice by the way) but for the life of me I can’t find them.
Can you please send me a link?
Thanks.
Chetana

it so many times in our own classical concerts.
The piano-part reminds me of Prachar’s playing. This piano-part is really in no hurry, the notes bring calmness
and stillness to the human ears. Franz Schubert’ Ave Maria
has a deep connection with the happenings in Nature, because everything is already there.

On my 30th birthday I wrote a simple poem for her, related to the lyrics:

Maria,
You are so far away!

From now on
Only on the nude rock
I want to take rest
And it will be feeling
As being bedded
On soft clouds.

“My child,
I am closer to you
As you may think.”

Many years ago I had a job as a gardener at a cemetary to take care of selected graves. Whenever there was a burial ceremony I would ask the organisers which song they had chosen and when it was Ave Maria by Schubert, I would be stealing myself behind the curtain and listen to the song.

Sri Chinmoy has translated the lyrics of the song into Latin.
