Geetha Jayanthi
When a Jeevatma called “Arjuna,” Was tormented by th’ laws of Karma, Shaken to dust, wrecked an’ broken by strife, By th’ most formidable currents of life. Utterly dejected, hence he knew not He could still be invincible an’ float, Facing th’ existential foes, money, power an’ lust, In the ocean of Samsara, so unbearable, an’ difficult. Later, he built the fort of faith empowered, By the strength of his surrender to the Lord, Inquired about births, deaths and reincarnations, The travelings of souls in different bodily forms. Adhering to the Truth, and Virtue, He made, God His slave yet…

Floating
I was dormant in a shell, like a hermit in penance . Many seasons passed by, placing year rings on me. Unaware I delved deeper, to find an end to beginning. and beginning to an end. I felt my body crumbled. My breathe chocked heavily. My sinews stretched full, as my body was burning. My thoughts in flame, I was turning into ashes. I emptied my burden of mind. Suddenly I was awakened, rubbing my eyes I found my dreams fall one by one. Now I am weightless, floating on the wings of grace. I flutter my wings and float.…

Garland
I do see her eyes of grace. I graze in her eyes with urge. Cosmic dream rests there. I delve in her mystic mystery. I come across her subtle smile. All creatures move around her holding her hands of compassion. Possessive; all we fight for attention, drawing you to foment our wounds. You embrace all with one hand, and anoint all in your hold. holding us with a band of love. You tied every one as a garland. I hear your incessant smile inside. We know not your smiley mystery. Oh mother let me garland you, by these words of…

A Deepavali offering
A birth at Thy Lotus Feet, Mother, grant Thy child a birth at Thy Lotus Feet, To fearlessly live in Thy gracious spiritual light, Forsaking the sensual pleasures, living in Thy compassion Embellished with the jewels of discrimination and dispassion Mother, grant Thy child a birth at Thy Lotus Feet, To joyously live in Thy gracious spiritual light, Serving all effortlessly, sharing Thy selfless love, Meditating silently like the bees resting in a hive. Mother, grant Thy child a birth at Thy Lotus Feet, To splendidly live in Thy gracious spiritual light, Singing Thy immaculate glory with exact cadence, With…

Hiding in you
A soft fondle of breeze carry a smile over petal lips. Mist of mystic mystery hangs, in reverence. Nature stands still, in silence. A chant of love percolates, shading pink on petals. The blush of love for God, emanates from hearts, like beetles hum. In the lotus of hearts, Mother of all Mothers sits, listening to every thought, every prayer n’ every complaint, registers in her nature. By slow strides she walks in, chanting a mantra in your ears. Then she hides in you, watching you chant. Often She smiles in ecstasy, Sings a song of profound love, Merging herself…

Vijayadasami offering
O! Mother, Thy descent marked new blissful dawn, For the entire creation love unconditional is given. Thou knowest, Thou art blissful , an’ unborn, The incomprehensible Self, th’ Supreme One. Mother, when the darkness was considered as light, Thou didst share love an’ kindness even as a child, To th’ old, sick, poor, an’ elderly as a mere servant, Though th’ Truth being veiled, Thy play so loving an’ mild. Mother, when sorrows overpowered happiness, Thy sheer selflessness shed light of pure joys. Though th’ deluded ones couldn’t understand Thy ways, That dispelled th’ dark clouds of misery, by Thy…

Krishna’s smile
A mass of ecstasy was born, In a cell of dust and darkness, erected by boulders of greed. He was born as midnight sun, had his little body covered by sky. On feathers of love he slept. Stars winked at each other…. Galaxies merged in milky-way . Supernova’s boomeranged. Shooting stars carried a message, “ time has arrived for action.” He arrived on a promised mission, to fulfill his promise to humanity. World grind to a standstill. With awe and anxiety struck, peacocks danced fanning their quills. One unique feather adorned his crown. Divine music flung from bamboos. There was…

Hold me tight
My heart beats fast; on reaching near you. A sea of emotions flood my eyes, like tidal waves it washes ashore, deposits every filth n’ mud of my past. There is a dark cloud hanging behind me. Thunder n’ lightning blasts off my chest, Ghosts of innumerable desires pull me apart. Oh ! My mother help me cut loose my ties. Let me be in your comforting hold. Help me breathe easy …with thy name in and out. Let me exhale your chant Aummmmmm. Oh Divine Mother hold me tight til then! Let me feel your light n’ compassion. by…
