Libations to Amma (Abhishekam)
Libations to Thy Form, the enchanting beauty indescribable, With the holiest waters of Ganges that flow in dainty ways. Libations to Thy Form, the enchanting beauty indescribable, With the holiest ghee of cows, that bubble up ripples of joys. Libations to Thy Form, the enchanting beauty indescribable, With the holiest honey of bees that bumble around flowers. Libations to Thy Form, the enchanting beauty indescribable, With the holiest curds of cattle that live as a symbol of sacrifice. Libations to Thy Form, the enchanting beauty indescribable, With the holiest fragrant waters that emanate sheer happiness. Libations to Thy Form, the…

The Muse
Her heart sings. Mind merges, into heart beats. There she remains, grabbing each soul. sparks n’ spins each cell; dancing Into ecstasy. Singer, song, n’ rhythm, seeps into minds, percolates all around. Every one sits in trance. She enters into each mind. In sounds of love, as music of grace, flushing mundane thoughts out, by filling her gracefulness, Melody of primordial love, takes birth in every being, sounding divine drums, merging into harmony. Every heart beats in tune. Celestial beings listen, to the music of The muse. Entire hermitage meditates. Time stands still in her harp. She incarnates in every…

A piece of your heart
With a lot of worldly sorrow bruised spirits, we just flock in together one by one. Hear you talk to us in silence, by holding each one closer to your heart. We hear your heart beats, sounding empathy to each being. In there, rests in your compassion, each and every galaxy of the universe. Every word, every language, each sound, each syllable, manifests in you. Then the world dissolves in your grace. You are listening to each one of us, Viewing history n’ future of each life, answering our every prayer, in your own unique way. As a mirror of…

A Thousand Suns
Tuning in is meditation. Meditation is tuning out too. Chanting is fine tuning. Silence becomes music. Breathe takes world in. Out goes world again. Tidal waves stop here. Seagulls of emotions fly away. Nothing remains, except, the grace of a great mother. Time waits for none. But time bows before her, The world disappears into thin air. Then sweet smell spreads, the aroma of love. Love for god. An unquenchable thirst, dries the throat, drains consciousness. Wisdom dawns slowly by its splendor. You are free, free. Mind murmurs. fathomless brilliance everywhere. A thousand suns rise all around! by Satheesan Rangorath

A Prayer
Oh! Ma, may not I be betrayed by the senses fickle, That give me a bit pleasure but pain immeasurable. Oh! Ma may my tongue ever sing Thy Name so blissful, That gives soothing to the mind wandering uncontrollable, Oh! Ma may my eyes ever meditate on Thy Form so mild, That gives soothing to the heart so broken and dissatisfied. Oh! Ma, may not I be betrayed by the senses fickle, That give me a bit pleasure but pain immeasurable. Oh! Ma, may my ears ever hear the songs of Thy melody, That caresses the soul, healing the wounds…

Vishwaroop
An air of purity envelops around. Fresh breeze carries divine aroma. Flowers shower dews in several hues, creating a rainbow on pathways. Two subtle soft feet float through Earth, creates goose pimples on strewn petals. Every sand grain chats in horripilation Laxmi raises her trunk by a welcome howl Crows sit on a line viewing left to right. Peacocks dance with full decorum. Birds sing loudly along with devotees, chants of thousand names filter through. Time takes a breather , stands still. When she strides, world walks along. Sings, dances, rains , sea tides up; to watch. Moon and stars…

A Blissful 2012
Ma, the days roll off with the beautiful dawn and dusk, Settings and risings of Thy Sun, Thy gifts we never ask, Also bestowed unconditionally with the rainy dark clouds, That give plenty grains and life to continue for many ages. The day that just begun that Thou makest surely end The night that approached that Thou wipest so kind The dazzling stars and shining moons, Thou createst, Many yugas unfold, in twinkling of Thy eyes so surest. Ma, Gods again are so pleased as Thy form moves on, Mother earth looking with Her children for a new dawn, All…

Burning Enemies
Ma, the burning desires shatter the inner peace, Yet, just looking at Thy face, verily one finds solace. But controlling this dreadful inner enemy desire, Surely, extreme endurance as one‘d fallen in mire. Ma, the burning anger viciously tilts one’s mind Pelting the soul so brutally with stones so unkind, Inwardly, even before one could realize and find, The thoughts those are terrible and so unwanted. Ma, the burning anger shatters one’s inner peace, Yet, just looking at Thy Eyes, verily one finds solace. Ma, the burning envy turns one into so insane, Vaporizing all virtues like water by the…
