  • Let us go with Her

    The nature celebrates, At Her beautiful site, Birds fly happily around, Flowers dance in the wind, Carrying Her sweet fragrance, The wind blows around, Spreading the flowers on the path, Stand the trees with bowed head. Proclaiming peace and love, There is She, clad in white, She is so mystic and so innocent, Conquering the hearts, The Mother walks with us. The path is so long but, Mother is with us, Holding our hands and leading our way. Leaving the memories behind, And carrying Her in our heart, Let us go with Her… – Nimmy K

  • The Star

    As the world lay silent , the lone star in the sky looked down, misty eyed, and searched for Her. Down the lanes,by the river side, on hilltops and valleys,she searched, but found Her nowhere. Alas! when do i see Her? thought the star, and gazed at the ocean waves. There on the shore, a speck of white. the star gazed again, there She is! Down, on the white sands, walked She, in beauty. Her eyes rose up to the twinkling in the sky. Her smile went miles through the clouds, to cheer the lone star, and lit up the…

  • Seeking Your Hands to Hold

    O mother, when I took my first steps, You were there. When I started laughing merrily at every site, You joined with me. When I created a world of my own, You watched me silently. Still, in every steps of mine You walked with me. When I went through sufferings, You showered your love on me When I struggled to find a reason, You taught me to blame on myself. In my each and every sufferings, You showed me the pain of others, When tears rolled down my cheeks, You whispered into my ears “You are mine” You taught me…

  • My prayer

    O True Friend! My hope of Hopes, Where art thou? I have not been holding thee close, Yet when time draws nearer to our meeting This child hopes to be embraced in thy motherly hug. Every lost moment causes the old man gasp and yet this little one seeks thy warm embrace. Time flies by, the day is here. And kitchen fires lit to feed thy big Family; This child knows not how to welcome or do thy bidding And these add to his anxiety. He knows that the family is large and his Mother hath not so much time…

  • The Ultimate Truth

    I watched a shooting star as it ran across the sky. I was dumbfounded by its beauty in the darkness of the night. Surrounding it like diamonds, like tiny twinkling lights, a million shining brothers witnessing its flight. Sometimes in the evening I stand outside my door and admire the peaceful heavens and I gaze at the shooting star.. and wonder at its glory sometimes i feel like asking Who showered u with beauty.. but the answer is within urself.. and that’s almighty 🙂 hunt for the Ultimate Truth let the Lie beseech.. turn ur back to those ugly faces..…

  • Seeking Thy unconditional Love

    Ma, groping in the dark lanes of ignorance As I roam with never-ending desires, The only crying help to check them out Is now seeking Thy unconditional Love. Ma, the saviour of the fallen, and the afflicted Given unto unfortunate and dismal fate I wept being swept by the currents of desires Now, Blessed I seek that Thy unconditional Love. Ma, the ocean of blessedness You wish Thy child to be blessed On the auspicious Vijaya Dasami day That I long and seek Thy unconditional Love. — Sridhar

    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.

Shattering the darkness with the winds of Thy…

  • To You I bow again and again

    Holy Mother, I bow to you with thanks that flow through all time…. My heart is the momentary flower You made honey from. My heart is the baby You held in your arms and rocked. My heart is yours, beloved Mother, the child of your breath, the scent of your love. To You I gurgle bright sweet syllables rising from creation’s innermost chord. To You I bow again and again. You opened my heart and filled it with truth. You led me along beauty’s dazzling path. Take me with you forever, oh dearest Mother, never leave me alone. —Naveena Janine…
