Fr. Paul Poovathingal Writes from Rome…
Dear friends,
Greetings from Rome!
It happened. Miraculously happened.
God is extremely gracious to me and to all of us. Thank God for the golden opportunity.
With immense joy and gratitude I pen this message that His Holiness Pope Francis has released our( me and Manoj George) new International spiritual music album ‘sarveśa’ The Lord’s Prayer in Sanskrit on 14th November during an international conference at Vatican, Rome. What a joy it is. It was 2and half years effort. It was a long journey. I got Italian visa miraculously within three days. This music album is truly international because many international musicians and teachnicians are involved in this divine venture. God transformed my unworthiness to strength. This is the best musical gift I could offer to God the father in my life time. Today what I am is just because of the grace of God and of the affection and support of all of you. Thanks a million to all of you for your continued prayers and support. I thank sincerely my Guru Dassettan for singing lead voice in this spiritual album and blessing all of us with his divine voice. Thank you Prabha chechi and Vinod Yesudas for your great support, affection and generosity. Gratefully remember and pray for late Prof. P. C. Devassia for his outstanding lyrics. I sincerely thank my dear dear friend and wonderful musician MANOJ George for doing an unparalleled effort to make this music album ‘Sarvēsa’ extraordinary and historic. We together composed this album. Without him this would not have realised. Please watch, enjoy, experience and share this unique spiritual song for benefits of millions of people.
I would like to have the Lyrics of the Sanskrit Verse “Sarvesa” please.
Thanks
Lalitha Devarajan
