  • Page 21 from the Sri Chinmoy book, Gopal's Brother. In the illustration, Gopal, his mother and their cow are sitting at the table in the darkened room, lit by only a candle on the table. The mother is reading the party invitation to Gopal to attend his teacher's mother's funeral wake. Gopal is asking his mother what he should bring, and the cow is slucking spahetti. The text reads: 'Gopal knew that everybody was going to bring a present for the schoolteacher, but poor Gopal didn't have any money. He asked his mother sadly, "What can I do? I wish to take something to my teacher, but we are so poor. What can I do?" "Ask your Rakhal Raja," said Gopal's mother. "He will give you something to give to your teacher."'
