Living the Lockdown: "May the Light of Unity and Understanding Stay On"

Acharya Mahendranath (The Master)
"Om Namah Sivaya, 
I am sure you all participated wholeheartedly in the '9 Minutes of Light' initiative yesterday. It was a very moving experience. It was a celebration of our unity in the face of a very big calamity. As we look at the future, I urge all of you to keep this light on in your hearts by continuing to express gratitude. We need to salute and express our heartfelt thanks to the tens of thousands of our countrymen who are out there working for us.

Firstly, we must thank the doctors and nurses who face the highest risk being in the frontline of this struggle. Yet we hear innumerable stories of their undying bravery, spirit, and energy.

And then there are our brethren in the Police, Military and Paramilitary Forces who have been running from pillar to post to ensure law and order. Let us thank them wholeheartedly.

Our government leaders and administration deserve a big applause. Not only are they monitoring the situation second-to-second, they are also coordinating with several groups, responding to emergency situations at national and state levels, and in the face of everything they are giving us hope and encouragement all the time.

Most of us are still getting groceries, milk, medicines, etc.; we are having our roads and societies cleaned; people who need it are having access to public transport; we have water and electricity... all of this means that apart from those at home, there are a large number of people who are still hard at work and stepping out every day to make sure we are healthy and safe. We must bow to all these people.

The media have been playing a very crucial role by working with the government and administration to give us relevant news, allay our fears, and quell rumours. They have played a very important role in uniting us and we must thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

Finally, we must thank everyone who donated selflessly —ordinary citizens, companies and industrialists, media personalities, etc.— and lent a big helping hand to the government in this difficult time.

In the face of good news and bad news, it is important that we remember these people at least once every day and express thanks to them. At the same time, the greatest service we can do for them is to stay at home, respect the rules of social distancing and let them do their work.

My blessings and best wishes to all of you. Be Healthy, Stay Safe!
Om.”
