Amma
You are my Everything
There for me at anytime
The purpose I live
Amma,the compassionate star that came to Earth
To spill light to her children,suffering in Darkness of Life
Amma,the beautiful flower that blooms for ever
Spreading fragrance in her children’s heart.
I am a child without mother
Won’t you become my mother
I am like a dark lane
You are my candle
Thankyou MAA for everything
I was like a stray animal
You have tamed me as a docile animal
I was not aware of my real self
You have made me know my innerself
Thankyou MAA for everything
Right under your feet-
I am lower than the dust,
I exist no more.
Om Ma Mother Devine,
Grant me Peace….smother my mind
Open my heart and fill it with a presence
that is all Being, all One, all You
and gone am i
tears flow
silent, waves crash by the shore,
you nowhere.
for a sight,
for a touch tender,
i long.
oceans apart,
mighty mountains divide,
you faraway.
weaving dreams,
coloured with hope,
tasting tears.
iam flying,
to reach your home,
my love.
(dedicated to ammachi)
even if this world considers it a shame,
for not knowing your true nature beyond Your beautiful form & name,
let me always be surrendered to You,
to accept whatever You want to bestow
in this life – Your own Divine Game.
i love You neither for riches nor for liberation
i want to love you unconditionally,
yes, the way you accepted me & Love me.
all i hope for is surrender, unflinching devotion
and a heart filled with compassion.
I wanted to write a poem for you
i tried
closing my eyes i feel you within
words dissolve
your sadhana is my poem
your kiirtan is my song
that i who would like to write is gone
that i is you
Amma with your lotus feet in my heart and
your beaming smile in my mind, I surrender to thee!
For you’re my mother, my life’s goal and refuge.
Your LOTUS FEET
I search in my dream
YOUR EMBRACE
My life saving drug
YOUR PERFUME
I breathe
At YOUR FEET
I lay myself
my ego
Kill it AMMA
Like Veer Hanuman
Let my heart be YOUR SEAT
I don’t really have the patience for writing poems : )
So here’s one of my “songs” I have written to my Lord (who is also Amma.)
(I know it’s kinda cheating ; ) )
Kanna, Lord and Guru to the world, You who are both Creator and Creation, come, come!! Please, please come!
Wilt Thou not come and shower rays of compassion on all of us?
Kanna I am waiting to see Thee. O, when will I merge in that sea of Bliss?
O my Lord, wilt Thou not come and remove my sorrows? O Kanna, please come!
What a happiness
to write a poem to my Mother Amma
the source of love and compassion
whos being is Outside of my understanding.
Amma you are the best I know
you are the flowing river of love
You are the loving mother I need
Dear Amma
be with me
hold me in your lap
tell me your comforting words
I want to be
allways your loving child
the tiny child
whos tears you make to dry
I am here waiting for you all day
and giving a try
to be allways yours
thank you Amma for your Love
and Grace
darkness melts
roses sprinkle rain
so vast thy look
no time no bounds
deep eternity engraved
Nostalgic motion spreads its wings far from sight it seems i am gone ……………………………………………………………………………………………..
sheltered in Thy wild locks
Title: Be….

O Amma
work so much you do
moments rest please take
form beautiful please care
kept my heart i have
tender for your stay
Everything In you ,
Everything of you ,
Why I am still !!! not finding you near ?
worlds of divine love and beauty
shine behind your sparkling eyes
with one glance you steal my sorrows,
every fear inside me dies.
show me where you dwell inside me,
teach me truth and love and faith
you were standing there beside me
long before i saw your face…
Ma, dark clouds never failed
In enhancing the Beauty of Infinite Sky
Nor even the black spots scattered
Over the Full Moon on the Pournami day.
But the clouds, within, a mass of rust
Ever fail miserably me
In reaching Thy Lotus Feet
Throwing away from Thee.
Would Thou heal the wound, named Ignorance?
Afflicting the mind, the Turbulent & Violent,
The habituated grains ingrained, named desires;
None ever dared count these unnumbered!
Thou art the Ocean of Knowledge
Filled with endless waves of Unconditional Love
Clasping the little one on Thy Bosom,
Heal me from the disease of Ignorance.
A Pray…………………
In all my tests
that u oh sadguru, sent for me
I failed miserably
Soaked with failures, I am drowning in sadness
Wont thou o mother, come and save me??
The miserable soul, the spark of divinity in me
Cries aloud, wails out
Praying that you o compassionate one
Would for once truly hold me
Burning in the fire of guilt
With no saving grace or a calming presence
It’s just a wretched existence
to know that you have forsaken me
You are close by
Just a call away
But u have taken d grace away
Alone I stand hoping for some solace , some sign from you!!
The heart which long ago was your holy abode
Has been pelted at and destroyed by vasanas
And you moved away
Leaving me alone, unfended for
The eyes which once beheld your holy form,
Tears…flowed freely from them to wash thy holy feet
Today, like 2 stones, existing for the sake of existence……….
Where has all your mercy disappeared amma??
The mouth which once chanted your holy name, the mind which once had you
Are nothing but barren today, crowded with material thoughts
I am alone o sadguru
When will this test end?
When will I will again be able to behold your form?
Behold you in everything?
O enchantress of universe!!!!!
When will you take me your lap, shower me with motherly kisses
Put your hand on my shoulder,
Assure me of your presence; put me in your lap and say sweet sweet words
O maaaaa,,,,have mercy on me
Don’t leave me alone,
Your test is taking my soul away,
I want to be nestled in your presence……..
1.
head in Your blank verse
White Sari; the milky way
boils over in You
2.
knocking on the door
You disappeared, giggling
leaving behind words
(Were it you -)
HER look, HER smile, HER hug,
falling within, world disappears,
a glimpse of silent vastness.
Filled with expanding love.
– What a gift to receive !
Silent gratitude remains.
I prostrate to The Divine Mother,
The only pure offering I can give is my heart,
I open it to Thee,
Praying You will find it suitable abode,
Emptying myself so that You may shine ever bright in my eyes,
When others look into them they see only Thee,
Words that I speak born from Your Grace,
All I ask is to allow me to be a humble vessel,
To radiate Your infinite love and compassion.
O Ma. . . can a drop of rain contemplate falling in the Ocean. . . anymore than a drop of sweat falling from a woman during a periless desert crossing to insure food for her children?. . .
O Ma. . . do the sacred tears that fall on Your Holy Feet in worn out surrender contemplate their existence?. . . in the midst of falling it is my mis-sight to not see Your vast ocean of mercy and compassion that carries us to Thee. . .
O Ma. . .struggling with the falling, i oft do not see the becoming by dissolution. . .these hands pried loose, i gaze at the emptiness, unware of the blessing of the opening of Your vastness. . .
O Ma. . .
You’ve told me
You’re in my heart,
but still…
How astonishing
to find you there,
again and yet again,
Beyond thought– blush of softness,
Sweet melting
So gentle, your grace
A flutter of gossamer wings
Brushing softly against my doorway.
How could I not let you in?
A prayer to AMMA:
The karmas of my past
Put the veil on me
I the ignorant
Know nothing of your greatness
Oh compassionate mother
Remove the veil,
Let me realize you
One True Heart
Amma, can I dance with You? – Amma, can I dance with You?
Oh, Amma – How can one so small dance with one so big?
Amma, can I sing with You? – Amma, can I sing with You?
Oh, Amma – How can one small voice sing with the song before all sound?
Amma, can I dream with You? – Amma, can I dream with You?
Oh, Amma – How can one small mind dream with the source of all creation?
Amma, can I laugh with You? – Amma, can I laugh with You?
Oh, Amma – How can one not knowing, laugh with one knowing all?
Amma, can I cry with You? – Amma, can I cry with You?
Oh, Amma – How can one lost heart cry with the one True Heart?
….cry with the One True Heart….?
Amma, won’t You dance through me – Amma, won’t You sing through me?
Amma, won’t You dream through me – Amma, won’t You laugh through me?
…. Then, I will cry with one true heart – cry with one true heart
…. One True Heart – True Heart…..
Oh Amma Oh Amma
Where are you? Where are you?
Come quickly come quickly,
I need you to hold me tight
When I close my eyes
I see your smile
I feel you holding me all night
My heart is warm
My head is light
As I lay in your arms
With no single fright.
Oh Amma Oh Amma
Where are you? Where are you?
Come quickly come quickly,
I need you to hold me tight
Then my plights take flight
And I see the light
I see the warm glow growing bright
My heart is warm
My head is light
As I lay in your arms
With no single fright.
Oh Amma Oh Amma
Where are you? Where are you?
Come quickly come quickly,
I need you to hold me tight
I chant your mantra day and night
Please guide me to immortal light
Om Shakti
Om Kali
Om Hrydayeshwari
Om Amirtheshwari
Om Amirtheshwari; Om Amirtheshwari
Come quickly come quickly,
Amma, you light up my life since I know you.
You make me be happier. You bring beatifull feelings to my life, that I never knew before.
Having you is the most precious gift for us all.
Thank you for beeing here with us today and for ever.
Jai Ma.
It is based on one song.. It came to me as I sat down to meditate…
My mind is slowly sinking down
Awareness slowly rising
This whole world must still be spinning round
And I am still breathing
So close your eyes, you can close your eyes
It´s all right…..
You can stay as long as you like
AMMA,
At your Feet,
In your Presence,
I find bliss.
Dear Amma,
Poetry of perfect rhyme and divine rythm…flows incessantly and effortlessly from the heart
but I do not know how to verbalize and fit it into the language of the mind.
So, helplessly I offer this hidden art of the heart. You know how to read it.
You had late dream today.
My all aims were lost.
MY all purposes were lost,
I work to go to meet you.
I work to hear your voice.
I work to watch your face.
However,nothing comes to have a purpose for me if there is not you.
Being fear for me most,your leaving the body as for it.
AMMA,can come to you as soon as possible.
Can spend happy time with you for a long time all day long.
All of me….
Our mother…
How can I remember thee?
O Amma who sits under that tree
of Life with it’s fruit to share…
I’m so is glad that you are there:-)
Amma,
Annihilate,
I, in me
Light, a lamp within,
Dissipate, darkness,
Dissolve in vastness,
So dark like a cloud
Mischief to the core,
Krisn kannaiya, you cannot cheat me thus
Amma or Krishna, I know you by heart !!
Did you tell yasodha
that you are here?
Wont she search when sun sets?
You are here minding the herd
making sure none of us are astray!!
Do play with me
for am lonely without you
I wonder why
you havent graced me yet
feeling jealous about others
whom you have blessed
Tears flow and it hurts
sometimes it gets too heavy
and I need a hug
I wonder why
you havent graced me yet
wishing i was a flower
gracing your feet
Am I a stone mother?
that you are testing my tolerance..
I wonder I wonder
Darshan in dreams
for those blessed few
I wonder how I sinned
that you have not thought about me yet
You carry on, around the world
Spreading love and sunshine
Wont you give me a bit too?
I want to rest now
for am tired and worn
Need my mother
to take me home..
the world
floating by
what can I do
to please you?
O Lord!!!Thou art the ocean
And i am the waves
What a fool have i been
to be proud of the names and forms.
The waves are formed
only if the Ocean exists
And similarly my life rised
From Thy existence.
Thou art the Gold
If i am the necklace
The pure from of essence
The quintessential self.
Amma, i am here waiting for you
i am longing for hug
which gives me energy
to run rest of life.
Amma, i am u child
don’t leave my hand
teach me ,guide me
Amma , i don’t know anything
how to say and write the poem
Amma , language of the mind
Which u can understand
Amma , do’t leave me alone
Want to be in your
lotus feet
Amma saranam
Amma U are my mother
I pray for you all the time
I stay always with you to look after
I offer my prayers to you
Regards with durga mantra
