Voww... I am weighed down by the potency of your comments!

I’m sure you are extremely proud of your six years of higher education that you can’t help but show off your literary talents at every opportunity.

I don’t have the luxury to analyse every nuance of published text as I’m rushed off my feet living my life fully. However, it is so great to see someone so generous with their time willing to make a contribution to others. I welcome further nitpicking in the future...

"O Sun, who is the one worthy of praise in the three worlds
(Bhu, Bhuva, Swaha) ,
we meditate upon you,
We pray that and our intellect be guided
so that we be made sinless like Gods"

This is the poetic mantra that every dwija-hindu is required to recite every day with meditation in their Nitya-Karma ritual.

The Sun (as Savitr) is the chief deity who destroys all ignorance.

Hindus need to worship the Savitr EVERYDAY if they have to be reclaim their spiritual heritage.

Even Lord Rama prayed to the Sun (as Aditya) before he slayed Ravan.

Savitr-Mantra (popularly referred to as Gayatri-Mantra) is the most secret of all the mantras Hindus and must be recited in the mind.

"There will be no prejudice on race or on religion"
---how unbelievably sweet and original. : )


"
The man watched the sun as it rises to the heavens
Shine! So entire humanity may see your essence "

you might consider past tense for 'rises' --it is not in agreement with the tense of the preceding verb.
and yes, yes..please shine...and entire humanity..etc etc...well done chowk -- the bright and elusive scare us, the simple and juvenile impress our SOULS. aren't we deep, deep, deep & moooooore.
