Mother of all mothers
There is a mother outside. She follows everyone everywhere, clad in white; jasmine white. She casts a glance on everything. Not even an ant escapes her vision. She spreads a fragrance around, the scent of love, the smell of compassion, the aroma of peace. She embraces and kisses every being and nonbeing, from snakes to sanyasin, atom to infinite. Further and further she bows to be servant for all! There is a mother inside, silent and serene, sleepless and witnessing. She is expressionless of expressions and emotionless of emotions. But she is the one behind everything. Taster behind tastes, actor…

Listen! Her words are echoing around
Krishna and lord Ram were Born, and it was way back long. God decided to reincarnate again now, wondering in which form and how? Selfless love is needed by all, and a shoulder to cry on. Hence God took a Mother’s form, to be known as Amma across. We are lucky to be born now, witnessing the leelas of Amma around, Feeling the lord in the purest form, Mother is the reincarnated form. Amma is always by our side, Watching and guiding us from beside, Listen! Her words are echoing around, Darling Children I’l love you throughout. — Aditi

Freedom of Silence
FREEDOM OF SILENCE Listening to silence I hear you master! Your deep soft subtle songs Of wisdom I can listen to Your infinite volume of silence, Tuning in to your heart of love I sleep walk in to the cradle of Your knowledge There may I sleep in your dream. Smiling in your smile Grant me a moment of freedom Without my past and desires for future. May I breathe the aroma of freshness? The bloom I cannot express in words The freedom of mum The truth you envisage In your finger signs Chinmudra* The knowledge sheet; Of love eternal…

What is Happiness?
What makes me smile? Is it fame and money in an enormous pile? Becoming smart, rich and experiencing success? These must be the providers of my happiness. Everyone will be my friend and all will respect me I will rejoice and laugh with all this popularity But one day after all I want is bought I lose that smile and all that money runs out Respect and fame will be temporary Once jealousy and hatred of others leave me wary Best of friends will lose their trust Romance of true loves will turn out to be lust And all my…

Heaven on Earth
Amritapuri Ashram A heaven right here on earth Managed by a goddess, since birth Righteous but tender are her ways Inspiring is her gaze Through her simple embrace And in the beauty of her grace People are brought to their knees Under her wings their hearts unfreeze Reassured that they are protected In her hugs, their fears deflected Always present whether in body or soul Service and love are her goal Helping the needy is her mission Ridding the world of its great depression All this place is her blessing May it be forever growing — Charbel, Lebanon

Mother Earth
Oh! see the mother earth with lot of trees the autumn leaves that comes with the breeze The beautiful birds that continuously sing A playground that have seesaws and swings Oh! see the mother earth with a lot of flowers they are all chanting a verse Because they don’t want to be harmed and they want to be calmed Oh! see the snowflakes come down the snow-mobiles are all brown I see the children enjoy ice-cream cones and dogs chewing bones How did the mother earth become so beautiful? like a rainbow which is bright and colourful! — Anupama Dilip…

Vibrato
Louder and hoarse I call you, all in your thousands of names. However, I hear you snore! nothing else but rub and scrub. My fumed throat gets soared. Sound cracks under my tongue. I seek a word to wake you up. Wonder would you ever hear? I know not the right diction. Words feeble are illegible. My lips dry by constant chant. But, you never answered once. One day I filled my soul full; words, poured my heart out in pain. Called you all through breathe, sleepless until daybreak. Then I heard a feeble hum, sounding right from my core.…

May thy laughter fill the universes
Oh Mother Divine, Sweet with the fragrance of Love, Soft with the silence of Peace, Your eyes grant Liberation, With the ease of Grace. Simple wisdom flows like the Ganges, From your very Existence. My soul is anxious to please you, Even from the confines of this mortal frame. Victory, Victory, Victory to you, And your children. May thy laughter fill all the universes, And touch all beings hearts. – Ranganath

Be My Butterflies
Uprooted tree of life, suspended spreads wider In my heart of hearts, grows a lively branch, a branch full of silky buds. Intricate creation pulsates. I see you all; as cute butterflies, in best of divine designs, blooms in exotic patterns, shading pink in my heart. spread, smear, pollen of love. Flutter on wings of truth n’ faith, Be my colourful butterflies always. Every hiss of breathe I listen. Every tiny foot fall tickles my belly. Every thought passes through, making me aware n’ awake in you. Fomenting pains let me hug life. When colours fade n’ hues dry. Feeble listless wings…
