When you're down in a hole
Where there's so little
chance, to experience soul
I'm grateful to anyone, that
is happy or 'free' for giving
me hope while I'm
looking to see
The light that has lighted
the world.

GEORGE HARRISON

---------
The 'shloka' woven into the first song by George Harrison is:

"Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Gurur Devo Maheshwara,
Gurur Sakshat Parabrahma, Tasmayi Shree Guruve Namah"

Rough translation: I bow to thee Oh my teacher as for me you are
Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and personification/embodiment of the lord of
lords Parabrahma.

Sure you can find a better translation, but I guess that conveyes the
sense of it and it also explains why I feel better addressing our Coach
as Johnji. (ji pronounced as the letter "g" is added to the name of
seniors and people one is expected to respect, e.g. Guruji; since a
student is not supposed to address his teacher by name - a tradition
almost dead in modern India). rakesh
