A Conversation- The Warrior stands!!

Warrior 1: "A warrior with a broken chariot; ridden on Horses of will, cannot turn flying elephants against their will. The arrows in quiver that is full, are tongue sharp. But go not deep enough as to touch the heart. The victory is never for the victorious; Elephants cannot become the king of jungle. But the Jungle exists. And quest incomplete...... " "The Chariot to be repaired in silent depths, The will has to cover him and the rest. Gets A bow with the love sling, Should shoot at one and multiple beings, in the still of time. In the still of time, the victory mirage is uncovered. A new victory is beseeched. The elephant has to ride on tiger's wings. The warrior stands. The quest incomplete, but begins." Warrior 2: "Strike the arrow straight at the hearts Silence is the weapon that darts Visible assault frightens Invisible assault shocks Stealth assault penetrates Strike one and win many Dusts when single do not bother Dust when accumulated more does bo...

Nishkala

You make me drink the rivers of poison I am untouched; I am intoxicated by divine bliss You make hear the fire of abuses and garlands of praises I am untouched; I am herald of eternal lightening You try wooing me with million temptations of earth I am untouched; I am an infinite column of thoughtless radiance You try destroying me by all weapons of the world I am untouched; I am the both the brittle metal and the melting fire You try burning me with flames of the fire I am untouched; I am essence of effulgence in a flame You try burying me into the core of the earth I am untouched; I am that blossoms out as flower’s fragrance You throw me deep inside the Ocean I am untouched; I am the silence of the wave less waters You try throwing me into roaring hurricanes I am untouched; I am both the eternal breath and the pervading sky

A Prayer to Mother India

e Mother India, This is our Prayer to thee!  Would you be born again from the Ancient Past?  Where Your Children are Enlightened in True Knowledge    There are always helping hands and Harmonious Hearts   There are innocent eyes and dignified minds   Head is held firm against the insolent and bent before the wise    There is more relaxation than waging thoughts  There is the 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 are no mind-borne divisions among the lots   The Science becomes one with the Spirit in love and Art    The Religions become one in the will of God  And there is, the 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!  Ma...

6 years passed..

6 years back, by this time, The first answers for the prayer 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 hereafter. 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 for miles with one thought: 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 repeated 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 on 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 brigh...

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 b...

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 I am absolutely alone-  You alone my bliss Thee behold my happiness Thy  the mirror of my joy 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 Being's abode Forgot to mind this body that comes along The thoughts expand in cosmos to disappear traceless This way.. Where it goes, what comes along  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!
