अम्मा फ़रीदाबाद में…
महकी हुई हवा, खुला संदेश दे रही थी-खिला है ब्रह्मपुष्प, पास ही कहीं ,धरा पर तो अभी-अभी,संध्या उतरी थी,ब्रह्मपुष्प खिलने की,वेला न थी। दूर दक्षिण केरल,-प्रभु के अपने देश से,पधारी थीं प्यारी अम्मा, फ़रीदाबाद में,सुरभित सभी हुये थे,देवि माँ की सुरभि से,ऐतिहासिक था ये क्षण, सब के लिये। उमड़ रही थी भीड़, उमस बहुत थी भारी,पर भीड़ को इस की, परवाह नही थी,स्वयं अम्मा अमृतानंदमयी,यहाँ पधारीं थीं,आनंद से मदमत्त वहाँ, भक्त थे सभी। अम्मा के पावन चरण, पड़े जहाँ-जहाँ,कमल करुणा के, खिल गये वहाँ,लाखो-दीप प्रेम के, जल गये स्वत:वहाँ,अँधेरे का न रहा, कहीं नामोनिशाँ। — सुशीला महाजन

A scribble
O! Mother In this great illusory world of competition and war, Where the lands of far and far become so near, Owing to the technological advances so untrackable, Wrecking evil habits barely letting them be controllable, All the learned gems of schools struggling to learn, Ma, is it my mistake to call out and cry, ’tis not so fun? Ma, would a child know himself to be one with weak heart’s impulse? That renders him hopeless in letting the mind inward in firm compulse. Ma, you know the actions of thy child even before being done, Yet, you leave him…

Chant the Name Divine
Chant the Name Divine, It’s all sweet and Omniscient. Amma Amma Amma Rama Rama Rama Amma Amma Amma Rama Rama Rama Be happy like a child, Look at the beauty around Feel the joy e’er within See the butterfly flyin’ Yea! saw the one beauty so long, Now, disappeared for once and gone. Life is so transient, Nothing is permanent, Learn to live in the present. Be happy like a child, Look at the beauty around. Chant the Name Divine, It’s all sweet and Omniscient. Amma Amma Amma Rama Rama Rama Amma Amma Amma Rama Rama Rama — Sridhar

Who Shall Open the Bird’s Cage?
The bird inside my heart sings for you, oh Divine Mother Who, save you, shall understand its song? Who? Oh Mother of mine… The chirping which only You understand Nobody can stand, not even our closest ones! The bird inside my heart flew to the mind… Alas! The mind is now a cage of Thy Maya, controlled by innumerable desires Imprisoned by the mind, the bird cries out ‘Amma! Amma!’ When the bird inside becomes weary of pining for its mother, Wet become the eyes, trying… Trying hard to conceal the pain of this bird, Pain caused by this cruel…

The Mathematician’s Numbers and Thy Grace
O! Immortal Mother, Salutations to Thee, Offering these poems, O! Knowledge Tree, Invoking Thy grace infinite an’ unconditional, To fulfill this dreamy existence, an’ be immortal. The modern man groping in dreary darkness, Whose senses an’ mind deluded, lo! Hopeless, Calls this illusory world, ‘real’, an’ enjoyable, Only to perish like a moth in fire, so miserable. Even so, the confounded modern mathematician, With no spiritual background searches th’ unreal, Thinking it to be real, a merely deluded human, In the jungle of numbers, calling them ‘real’. The polynomial equations whose roots are negative, Find their extremely intricate nature hidden…

Ma, Ma, Ma, Om, Om, Om
Ma, Ma, Ma, Om, Om, Om Slow an’ steady wins th’ race, Chant th’ mantra always. Ma, Ma, Ma, Om, Om, Om Smile a while an’ do exercise, This keeps you healthy an’ wise. Ma, Ma, Ma, Om, Om, Om Eat moderate an’ be considerate, This frees from th’ nature of a primate. Ma, Ma, Ma, Om, Om, Om Guru’s grace is e’er unfailing, So, do well all deeds unwavering. Ma, Ma, Ma, Om, Om, Om Guru’s love is e’er all embracing, Meditate an’ realize th’ Self all pervading. — Sridhar

Call of a Child
“Amma! Amma!”-so cries the heart. Searched for the true essence of life, Stumbled, got up and walked. Walked away from this tempting Maya (illusion) As harmful as a sharp-edged knife Short-lived moment, but what bliss! This child knows of it The day when her Mother came and smiled ‘Kali! Kali! Kali!’ her heart cried in ecstasy. But did her mind listen to this new-found rhythm? Alas! Oh Kali, what about this child? Once again trapped in the ephemeral world. This child of yours looks for eternal peace- Peace from her own mind, Where everything else will cease to be Save…
