What follows is a Shloka in Sanskrit for Photosynthesis and Govindjee’s 80th birthday
When translated in English, it means:
“Plants, which consistently offer flowers, leaves and fruit, are indeed the life of all creation. They strive to sustain harmony and balance in the universe and, by eternally adopting ever new forms, they accomplish their goal. With our heads bowed down, we pay our reverence to the botanists [plant biologists], who with their meticulous analysis of the plants, contribute to the knowledge of the universe. We offer to Govindjee, who is one of these scientists, our “hundreds of Namaskara” which is the “hundredfold expression” of our gratitude, love, and respect for him.”
Introduction
I am delighted to have been invited by the guest editors of these special issues on Photosynthesis Education (Suleyman Allakhverdiev, Gerry Edwards and Jian-Ren Shen) to prepare this tribute to Govindjee as we celebrate his 80th birthday (see their Editorial, this issue). I have known Govindjee since the time I became his PhD student
