Dhanya Dhanya Ogo Anoushka

Blessed you are, blessed you are,
    O Anoushka, Sukanya-Ravi’s fondness-child.
An ever-climbing and dazzling aspiration-flame
    is your sleepless heart-hunger
    in the world of music-light and delight.
Ravi Shankar’s loftiest achievements,
    descending from the ever-transcending Beyond
    are blossoming in your own music-heart-life.
With your soul-stirring music,
    you will offer to the Comity of Nations
    a supremely new, beautiful, powerful
    and all-illumining light.
Your Father's nectar-flooded Dream is fast growing
    into the inevitable Reality.
