A Prayer to Mother India

e

Oh Mother India

This is my Prayer to thee!

Would you be born again to relive the Ancient Past?


Where,

Your Children are Enlightened in True Knowledge

There is always helping hands and Harmonious Hearts


There are innocent eyes and dignified minds

Head is held firm against the insolent and bend against the wise


There is more relaxation than waging thoughts

There is desire for peace overpowering the desire for possessions


There is auspiciousness in all that is want and thought

There is no poverty of wealth, peace and Knowledge for All


There is no mind borne divisions among the lots

The Science becomes one with the Spirit in love and Art


The Religions becomes one in the will of God

And there is Kingdom of Love, Peace and Eternal Joy


Oh Mother! Please awaken in my brethren the true light,

And Lead the Universe in Your Love’s Might!


Would you be born again Mother?

Let there be a Glorious Future bettering your Ancient Past?

6 years passed..

6 years back, by this time,

the first answers for the payer of the heart came

time has passed since then

ups and downs

and this leap from 5 to 6 indeed was most challenging

and should remind corrections in the journey here after

those days of kissing the early morning dew

walking high up searches to find You

ashes on the forehead, beard and rudhraksh

walking on foot miles with one thought of finding a meaning

hiding anger, burying passions, eyes on the sky looking ever

tears were the only solace

my asking to connect with the whole repeating day after day

college notes filled with poems of longing and despair

signed off as recluse and mad by those in the world

the game went on

till i met someone impressive

carrying Your image in his home wall

my freak questions and weird imaginations

You answered very patiently

Never you let me loose and

ensured i let loose all those heavy bonds of non-sense

You shone bright day after day

And one day the brightness was so impeccable and unbearable

whence Thee showed Thy true face

Tears.. just Tears could be my response

Thee took me by heart, pulled my self towards,

walked me thru',

the fountains of joy

day and evening

those special weekends when evenings became endless

dilated and purified

merged my age long loneliness with the

wholeness that Thee had created in

bosoms of patience and love

with all these creatures.. so called humans

who else other than Thee could consume,

the poisons

showering ever rains of bliss infinite

Oh.. I am

as alone and collective

how unworthy still to carry Thy image in heart?

world sees thru' us to see Thy face.. badly reflecting mirrors

when

i put my head, Thy temple is raised

my sight goes, the fragrance of Thy feet's dust awakes

my hands reach, all the pains are healed

every step of my walk, evokes ripples of love

then i've seen Thy image in my heart

till then i haven't done justice to my tears

for which Thee came

the journey continues

words so dry, praises so superficial

talking high, posing high,

traps of ego's self deception

monsters of conditionings

so low yet

the path of ancient yore

those great sons of Thine walked

is yet to be seen

my dream in You

for You in me

Play of time

What I should write of dreams that leave traces
Nights have become endless drawn across the memory lanes
Various moments glitter in the evening sky
Some shines; Some fades
Gone with the wind-
colors and forms
But what can take away
The treasures buried deep within
Emotions pour out raining
Earth bear them in fragrance
Mind change tracks, its ways and means
What all these means to the Heart
who just watch all these speechless
Boats travel as oars pedal on
Shades move on as clouds of time move on
Mist is dead and born thousand times
cool moments lingers on, though gone traceless
As play ends, costume changes
Characters mist away in an unnoticed silence
Who knows what roles follow on
As stage is set and lights on
New dreams take forms;
as the next play begins..

A Thirst

With a Heavy Heart, I walked upon

Lonely, Heart deserted and thirsty

A moment of melancholy pushed the soul deep in repression

In a way pressurizing for a solution

Not knowing the way, I still walked alone

More secluded and buried deep in contemplation

Occasionally dispersing among the clouds

Misting away in evening gloom’s delight

As walked more and more, legs begged rest

I solaced my legs and wearied mind under a tree's crest

Looked upon, looked beneath, glanced all around

And Closed the eyes hoping none to surround

Various images filled my mind’s pane-

Withering leaves, evolving time, days and nights

Young and Old, Body and Soul;

Virtues and Sins; choices and changes;

I let go all of them

One after another, One over another

They flashed, disappeared and re-appeared

Until soothing breeze emanated from within

I started paying attention to this mystery within

Not in my control, Breeze flowed better and better

Making the burden of my soul lighter and lighter

I asked what is next as all appeared to be a mist

Breeze flowered out

Bridging the within and without

I am in the middle as the fragrance' let-out

Offered at the Glorious One's profound

Silence spoke the secret of the mystics

In expression subtle and exquisite

I am became my Own

In identifying with the Truth of the One who truly owns

Deciphering secret codes of silence

My heart merged with the Universal resilience

Amidst the ever moving and unmoving galaxies

I found alone again but joyously with a thirst of different buoyancy!

A Journey with you in Solitude

I am walking alone
A journey absolutely alone
I am in company of none- You my joy of Solitude

No hopes or wants
No friends or foes; kith or kin’s
I am absolutely alone- You alone my bliss

My happiness lies in you
My joy finds his face in your mirror
Sky ceased to veil over –Your glance is my horizon

Nights have become endless
Days forget to cease in your presence
Neither night nor Day matters -Thy feet’s dust is my Head’s abode

Forgot to mind this body that comes along
The thoughts expand in cosmos to disappear traceless
Where goes, what comes- The way the trace of thy love leads, my heart follows

Heart has swallowed all that exists
Little vision left in the Eyes for it hopelessly watches the Invisible
Yesterday and Tomorrow have misted away- You my Heart, its abode and the way endless!

Go On and On..

  Till the ground hard and fast...Sow the seeds gentle with 

benevolent care;

 Sleep the night well and save strength for the next day's 

toil and fray;

Unravel the mysteries of the beyond in pauses of the play of 

a never ending day:-

Keep your ploughs ever bend forwards but handles well clasped firm with 

hope and faith;

Go on and on till the day of collective harvests dawn lest the grace of the 

Goddess showers hovers upon!!!

Just Be..

Oh Goddess!
I wanted to sing my tunes of longing for you
I wished I become the tunes in Praise of you
I desired to express me in whole so the World hears
I asked you before doing all these and you said
‘If your Wish is to please me at the first place,
Just Be Silent!’

When again before Thee?

Death waits at flowers doorstep,
Blissful breeze muse the last secrets of comprehension
The dusk through which the sun bids adieu -
Reminds with all gloominess memories so cherished
Be it Moonlight or dew studded grass tops;
All are bound to disappear in drizzles’ flight.

The penetrating idleness and pervading silence
The Moments stood in Awe, bliss stunned, speechless!
These moments spent in Her Holy presence
Would there be another Birth or Universe there to
Capture or recreate the untold Magic?

Morning mist and first whisper of blooming flower
Eternal horizon and its feet embracing Ocean
Heaven heading peaks and just hugged clouds
Would any of you portray the pain my heart longs
To have that Holy glimpse once more time?

Struck between two worlds as pauses
Drawn between two musical notes
Of death and life-
Of dream and Vision-
Of Thought and Silence-
When though the Magic be wielded?
That Glimpse of Her that even eternity would die for...

How would I call thee?

Not long ago an Inspiration flowed from Heavens
A voice quite similar to own but of deepest repose
Something Winged brushed me and made me fly

Amazing insights and Chillness in the Hearts
Gently started moving quite further inside
A vacuum started finding its forms as storms so subtle

Expansion in Isolation, boundaries drawn by the One
A stream of music illuminated million galaxies in that little vacuum
Little I really know- What is in store!

A Beam of ray- The soothing it extolled
As it fell on my Heart – Oh heavens should be this thing-Love!
The Dust gathered moss and a dew engulfed oceans

An Image I feebly recognized of that Love
Into my Own but all of Its Own
The One which weathered Absolute in All!

Should I call this my Mother or My Father?
Or the revelations that was Pouring as from Primordial Master
Or But All of this and The God- who came in me to Seek and become?

I found thee...

I woke up to a beautiful
morning dream...
Dew sparkling the Sun's bounty reflected an image That in
infinitude spectrum,
I found thee gazing in
stillness...
Whilst a beautiful meadow shuttered my
vision
In the moment of
lost identity,
In an universe of solitude and
bliss,
I found thee breezing in my ears,
legends of secret wisdom...

As I journeyed long and long
I rested for a moment's shadow under a banyan tree
Those strong shoots bend in
reverence and deeply grounded in humility,
I found thee, teaching them
the lessons of eternal quest.


And I wanted to see thee
Read thousand scriptures, travelled
mountains and forests;
Attempted self-annihilation, thro' thousand
postures and concepts
I found thee sitting well within my heart
with a lotus smile asking,
Where do thou search for me,
my dear child?"



Filled with awe, I gazed at thy
lotus feet
And got lost with it...
When I fell asleep, you carried me in
Thy lap and cradled with sweet lullabies which even
Gods have unheard till then!
I saw me present amidst million constellations
glittering and pleasant breeze venerating
pure light all over!
And my eye lids half open,
I saw thee
cradling me by thy eternally
blissful glances,
As if telling
"I am there with you always;
sleep in joy,
My Child"

Give with your full heart

Give with your full heart

Sparkles in a Vision

Oh grand Ocean sparkling full of joyful hope
Diamonds scattered all along
Seeds of little suns all day, Twinkle of million stars all night
The eternity expands at thy horizon
While our wishes converge at your shores

Many a dreams I had built on your depth
Most lost their form in thy majestic canvas
Some found their forms in your boundless identity
Rhythms so holy ever at your disposal
I am a note amidst million notes of HER music

When we are unheard, unseen
There is your color that of contentment and gesture that is eternally generous
When we are the spoken and witness
There is your expanse of infinite compassion and love truly HER’
In awe, I am bridged between heart and its holiness

Numerous arts, dear sky would bear in his arms
Ripples of eternity gazed in spectrum of colors and forms
The clouds so cherished of lost identity, curd churned of divinity’s milk
You reflect all those in your delicate lap, quiet and deep
I am a boat of hope journeying to the land of Love’s behold!

Many odes unsung at your shore still
Withered shells, garlands of waves' patterns occupies my attention
I am covered by a garment as limited as these patterns are
While My Mother whose garments' dust is this ocean, Search for my Self still lies deep down here!
In collective identification of million drops as mine Treasure hidden here and there!

Time and Again

Another time, again and again,
I want to long for you Maa
Your love, Your grace, Your touch, Your glance
Let me love you and eternally long for your love
Without the slightest shade of expectation
Let me long for your love, more of your love
Without the slightest thought of giving
Let me give, quenching a bit my search of your love
Whether you keep me longing or giving
Let me love and be lost in love
Neither have I known the meaning or purpose of my love
Nor I would ever expect anything in my love
Keep me loving, longing in love, for love, to love
Keep me under the dried grass on which
You sleep in the colony of morning dew;
Keep me amidst the flowers begging their worth
For them to be on the path you lay your feet;
Keep me in the moments that is forgotten and
Not asking for favours as these…
For Thy will be done, Thy alone will be done

Echo of a dew drop

Emotions have descended from heaven
To fill the pot of thirsty mendicant
Ears filled with the resonating music of stillness
Oh mendicant, where more he would want your journey to lead

Garden filled with colours so earthen
Fragrant flowers speak the language so mystic
Breeze carries the eternal hope of continued Joy
Oh Heaven, what are you doing here in the world of mortals

Mind wants to mind no one’s business
Barriers continue disappear with the fading individuality
So called fault finding hides in shame and never wants to peep out
Oh Man, where has gone all grudges developed in the anvil of the slavery mind

A drop of dawn's dew carries a character and form,
Transparent, unassuming, uneventful, reflecting, forming, deforming, disappearing,
All moments treasured in the joy of being "unidentified"
Oh God (Mother), in thy will, thy way, and thy nature is all that is “life”

Rays of “Innocence’s” light

What could be the theme of the Unknown Song?
To what Saints say, “I know yet I know NOT”

Oh, the Fragrance of the Soil newly wed with Monsoon rains
Could you reveal your abode's eternal trance in full?

Oh, the colors of the sky painted by moistures’ brushes
Do you breeze in secrecy the meaning of that songs' vision?

Oh, the Studded jewels of the Night’s sky
Are you the ornaments, adoring HER glory in parts?

Oh, the bees of the fragrant gardens
Who revealed you the path to flower's fragrance and Nectar’s Sweetness?

Oh, the Interleaved lightening of thunderous sky
Whose forms do you hide and reveal?

Oh, the rhythm of new born child’s kicks
To whose pauses you are dancing your tunes to?

The Journey clinging to voice of the Unknown song
Continues its flight through the rays of “Innocence’s” light!

A Modest and meagre transalation of a Song in Thiruvasagam

Poovar Chenni Mannan…

Surrender to the King adored in flowers of love
Kindly allow this little self unite with thy lotus abode
Thou the Mercy Personified flooded us
With the ocean of love
Verily Thee, watch us unsheathe
the layers of falsehood

In thee, The Rivers of senses dare not evade!
In thy mercy, delivered the very thought of “want”!
In thy infinite universe, lies the place of this pity self toofor the want of the Holiest one’s grace let us persevere-
All our Heart and Soul, blood and being
Whilst not even slightest thought of doubt permeate!

I am my relative… I am my fate…
What am I? For that is MINE?
What MAGIC (MAYA) can cure this DELUSION (MAYA)?
Permit us the journey through the path
That is full of garlands of the ancient yore
The one who is the light of the inward eye!
Awaken us in light, Oh lord!

Deliver us from the grip of thy play
That whirls the whole in action!
Let me be the l(e)ast to attain thy feet
So that I can leave the last notes of thy praise
Let this body become the feed to the shrubs,
But the soul to the holy one’s silence!

This is the journey for the final Refuge,
Oh the Children of the joyful Shiva loga-
Where from rivers of hope of eternal solitude;
Flow and nourish-
The east, the west, north, and the south,
From pits to palaces!
In that hope, Verily assured we march ahead-
For Never the gates of Shiva loga closes for
The one who is devoted in the holiest one’s love
Let’s praise and hail, revere and persevere,
We are broken and melted in that moment of Absolute absorption!

The bliss of the golden lotuses of Master’s abode invites as ever
Into the absolute stillness abode amidst the ever moving universe

Where lays the Incomprehensible!
What words could praise or describe him after all?
Let not even one fall low in their desire or ascent
To achieve the lotus feet- hardest to attain
The most precious to possess!

Good Bye to a Friend of Mind

May everything end in peace!
The beginning is in itself a mystery,
Then rolls the existence-
A myth delved into the ego and conditioning!
Known the one liberated of myths is
the one discovered the existence..
The enlightened!
the one who is beyond the cause of reason and intellect!
Rest fall into the deluge, cleaves into it, loses into it
Every thing gone in dire straits..
Peace and Love are desired
Yet distance between mind and heart..
Makes the length of shadow deepen..
May the Pure love of God be manifested which bridges it..
And make an voyage ahead..
in a new life of awakened dream..
Which transforms that,
dream into life!!!
For now let the peace reign and game end..
Into a mystical silence!
Truth..
Till it awakens and Light spreads...
there remains the
shadow of darkened dream...

Let the silence live me

Like a deepest note of a realized artist’s creation
Let me disappear unnoticed from all the worlds
Stilled deeper in the silence of the pauses of the musical strings
Let me ever stay as your part "Maa"
Enough of my dry prayers of word and mind;
Put an end to my occasional acquaintances with you!
Like those pure ones of yore, let me remain in thy praise-
And remembered only for thy praise!
In the contentment of a life of dew drop,
Let this being exist and disappear!
Just to become the salt in thy Ocean;
No more wants, longing and separation...
And let the silence live me in you
Ever, Ever and Ever in LOVE…………

A Search for Ages

Oh that pain for which I have had searched for ages, the relief
An unknown grief much greater than all sorrow of the world
The tears pour out for reason unknown on the sight all that is blissful and complete
Am I the child the lost in the chaos of the World?
Crying and longing to get hold of my lost parents!
What benevolence would have been showered on this pity self?
Here has come the arm that beholds and sweeps away the tears!
The lap whose warmth I have been seeking for ages!
Oh Mother! At last I have found you!
Here goes my journey unto you in the path where this drops connects another drop and so on…
Here gains the momentum… The drops becomes the river that hurries itself to attain your abode
Where from I never lose You forever...
Ever swirling in the Joy of Your Love!

Circumambulation

Around the fire in Earth!
With the blessed rain falling on the blessed devotees
In the blissful glance of the benevolent Goddess
The blessed love invigorated those Pure Saints
Invigorate you and me
We move on in Our Prayer
In Circumambulation with utmost reverence and silence
Slow and gentle as would the moon move over his Mother
Cool and light... Full and bright!

Exploration of True Love

It was a moment when Golden rays from the Cosmos anointed the dawn-
While the chilly breeze continuing to shrill the whole atmosphere;
Here, fell those dew drenched flowers from an unacquainted tree!
Showering my petty existence with an unknown Joy which spurted the spirit!
Here I am revealed through a Question-
What “connection” springs Nature unto us?
That benediction onto the sight of within and beyond!
Mother Nature!
Numerous ways and means-
She forms & deforms…
Just to shower the feel of true joy on each and every of her child!
Is this not an act of what is “True love”?

VEDIC AGE (SATYA YUGA) – circa 7000 BC

Those pure and simple Men and Women;
Decorated the banks of the mighty rivers of Vedic peninsula!
Discovering in humility, the mysteries of Creator and HIS existence…

They grew fires that burnt the straws of Ignorance, millions of ages thereon!
Their existence earthed in all auspiciousness and dignity -
The oceanic heart paralleled the Infinity of the sky engulfed in love!

Knowledge fountainhead in them with all her elegance
Realizing greatest of Truth’s in self-experience,
No sermon or magic convinced them!

For these living prophecies, the thoughts of mind mattered the least -
For their legacy poured from regions where no thought ever reached!
They ever aimed of life beyond heavens and hell;

Beyond the dualities of this or that, they cherished in richness of all selfless love and harmony
Their moments breathed in the admiration of Almighty’s might
Be it creation, existence or destruction!

Numerous paths but One Aim had they -
That journey towards the Eternal Bliss!
Which God has to Preach through numerous of HER sons in the Ages that came!
