Sharveen who had come to help me on the day I officially moved into my new house brought along a container of holy water containing saffron that had been blessed by a Hindu priest from the temple near his house. He told me he went to get the holy water at around 6.00 a.m. After I had installed the deities onto the altar, Sharveen went into action and did a blessing ceremony with the holy water. He sprinkled the water using mango leaves around the house beginning from the gate. After he had done sprinkling, there was some more water left which he said was for me to take bath.
I was really touched by Sharveen's sweet gesture. As a teacher I feel truly blessed to have such a considerate and thoughtful student.
