The wise ones share knowledge of the Almighty God through their inspired intellect and eloquent speech. They share the wisdom of the Vedas in an articulate and meaningful way so everyone can understand and eradicate sorrow and misunderstanding. May we also be blessed with such eloquence and wisdom. May we also be blessed with vitality and always be near the wise ones. May the intake of healthy grains build our strength. This prayer is for the sake of eloquent speech, not for the ego.

May the daily healthy intake of grains propel our growth, development, health, and vitality. May we be blessed with enough to share with others.
