  • Kalidasa’s “Salutation to the Dawn”

    A beautiful, inspirational poem by India’s Kalidasa:

    Salutation to the Dawn

    Look to this day!
    For it is life, the very life of life.
    In its brief course
    Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:

    The bliss of growth
    The glory of action
    The splendour of beauty

    For yesterday is but a dream
    And tomorrow only a vision
    But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
    And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

    Look well, therefore to this day!
    Such is the salutation to the dawn.

    – Kalidasa, Indian Poet
