Poems
A Prayer to the Divine Mother
Mother, May Thy Moon-like face
Ever dazzle in the lake of my mind.
Through and through the days of life
Spent in sorrows and innocent joys.
As I totter
Through all falls and stumbles
I know not Mother
Thou art the helping Hand.
Moments of separation
Cause grief untold.
Yet, May I never forget
You are ever my own.
Through the sparkling moments
Of destiny and its nightmares,
Mother, May I never forget
You are ever with me.
Mother, I am Thy rising Sun,
Though covered by the dark clouds of Ignorance.
Shattering the darkness with the winds of Thy grace,
May I ever shine in Thy Infinite Firmament.
-Sridhar
Very beautiful expression – simple and lovely. Thanks for sharing.
‘A prayer to the Divine Mother’ by Mr. Sridhar is a wonderful gift to our Mother and all Her children. It gives us immense strength and a sense of unity and belonging that transcends all barriers.
very beautiful … nice …
Moments of separation… Cause grief untold.
Yet, May I never forget, You are ever my own.
i found this lines to be touching…
I’ve taken these lines from the Biography of Sankaracharya. When Lord Sankara took sanyasa and left home, His mother was in tears and her misery can just be described as untold. Pray that we also get devotion to AMMA and feel Her separation.
wonderful poem.. a poem straight from the heart..
