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.
