“1… BREATH” – Kathak Mathematicians will tell you, One, is the first non-zero natural number. Any number multiplied by One remains that number. It's identity will not change but One adds incrementally, like your breath. Each breath you take adds one moment to your life . Like number One, breath after another does not change you instantly but transforms you slowly. The breath - swas -श्वास in Sanskrit or sans -साांस in Hindi - becomes an unending prana (प्राण) of infinite cosmic play, like number One adding up to the infinite. Feel your Prana to sense the power of infinite, hear it to become One with One.

Vishnu himself has taken physical form and descended upon the earth nine times so far, each time returning its inhabitants to the path of divine righteousness. Who are we to question this divine righteousness? What is written in the scriptures, and interpreted for us by holy men, must, unquestionably, be correct. We should do as we are told, lest we anger Vishnu once again, and He incarnates for the tenth time, as Kalki, and ends us all.
