" I am Bernie Sanders among the candidates"- thus spake Tulsi Gabbard's Lord 

Varanasi/ New Delhi . Her personal copy of Bhagavad Gita is with Prime Minister Narendra Modi but with the message of the Lord' Song in  heart, the Veteran is putting  all her energy to safeguard hope and belief in mankind, in the battlefield of the Primaries. And her Lord said,
 I am Sun among the lights and radiance;
 I am Himalayas among the unmovable things; 
 Among the Rivers I am Ganga (Ganges)
 I am the silence among secret things and of the wise I am the wisdom

On the other side of the globe, it is fascinating to watch Tulsi Gabbard introducing a rajarshi to voters. As the Primaries are about to conclude, the world awaits with anxiety the final fixture. Trump vs Hillary or Trump vs Bernie.
The very presence of Bernie Sanders in the race is reassuring, all is yet not lost in this messy world . Here is a sage like politician, who represents hopes and aspirations of two generation younger voters.
Anyone can feel a spark of divinity in the gentle, soft and iron-willed speaker making a point to the citizens. As if we were listening an akashvani -" Among the candidates, I am Bernie Sanders".
The US presidential election , perhaps, never witnessed such  contrasting personalities. Trump or Hillary,  is no choice. They are same, if not one. It is vote for Bernie or NOTA or as Americans are saying "Bernie or Bust".
Why should a Banarasi sitting thousands miles away from California anxiously awaits the result of most crucial round scheduled there?
 In the city of burning ghats we know value of life lived.
