O Lord! To bring to practice this path of Bhakti Yoga, I need good health and long life. Fortunately, to achieve this I need to do is to surrender to your lotus like feet,And wonder of wonders ,this is like drinking milk to cure diseases, Long ago, Maarkandeya was told by an astrologer that his life span was of twelve years only. He worshipped intensely at Thy feet for one year and when death approached, it was driven away by Thy emissaries.
