When She Arrives
An aroma spreads around me, divine fragrance of purity. My eyes see no one around. Suddenly senses jump out. Murmur stops into silence. Flower petals make a silky hiss. A soft food fall enters into hearts. Mystic smell of jasmine hangs in the air. From infinite; echoes, sound of a shell. Then divine drum sounds louder. Soft chime of her anklets tickle each soul. Now visible are a pair of pinky feet. A milky white robe flutters. Time stands still in the minds. A light smile lights my thoughts, pure white teeth adores her. In quick strides she reaches out,…

The usual throng of students on their way to class was absent this morning, as they were on break. However, the campus was anything but quiet as several hundred delegates made their way to the conference venue for the International Wireless Conference for Humanitarian Relief. Passing through the lovely traditional Kerala style main gate, the delegates were greeted by Lakshmi, the ashram elephant in full regalia. The Panchavadyam group from Parippally, Amma’s…

Alerting stars…
Ma, I was lulled to sleep by Thy mellifluous songs of melody, Alas! When I woke up I saw all the dazzling stars vanished away. Reminding me to wake up before the sun rises, do archana and be ready to receive your grace. Ma, I was lulled to sleep by Thy mellifluous songs of melody, Alas! When I woke up I saw all the dazzling stars vanished away. Reminding me slumbering is the worst ever enemy, get up and to do away with it without further delay. Ma, I was lulled to sleep by Thy mellifluous songs of melody, Alas!…

Meditative smile
Eyes retreat… Ears fall… Skin recedes… Tongue twisted… Nostrils shut… Nothing remains, Just the breathe of silence. A dark horse gallops. A spec of light emits far away. A white horse emerges, riding on by purity. Flood of brilliance. Smile of the holy mother. Meditative smile! by Sateeshan R

Inside…
Eyes retreat leaving back a colourful world. Ears discard every sound and each syllable Skin leaves heaviness and recedes in wrinkles Tongue tastes sourness of life all through Nostrils succumb to foul breathe of globe Releasing colourful images n’ dreams sweet melody of life outside echoes in. Weightlessness lifts life little by little. Taste buds sleep on beds of tastelessness. Smell of god elevates to ecstasy. Senseless senses now settle inside, converged to unique experiences. Far away feather of a peacock flutters. A sweet cosmic melody from flute flows in. Lotuses bloom on path ways, on each foot falls of…
