I left my bolster to make a name in the world I  left the shade of the neem tree to walk in the hot sun Barefoot I walked in the burning sand of the desert of desires Until I reached your city known for it's immense wealth Leaving the cool shelter of the neem tree I went Out looking to build a nest in an arid desert Full of conniving merchants and mirages of all sorts Disappointed several times, in seeking shelter I walked on Until I finally found the beloved in a palatial mansion I emptied the wine cup in my heart to fill her intoxicating love I cleaned and built a palace of pure love for her to stay in And invited her to leave her mansion and stay in my palace forever She then coaxed me to leave the palace and live in her mansion Much to my consternation I rebelled like one forced to give up drink After staying a few days in the mansion, I found that The beloved kicked me out to suffer the burning longing of separation With insults and abuses hurled one...

I lost all prudence and decency The moment I entered your temple Drunk and intoxicated in love I forgot to clothe myself in the cold winter nights   Lost forever in your contemplation The kids in the street jeer and leer at this crazy fakir And yet I sit outside the temple gates waiting for them to open And for you to cast your loving glance on me "You will do that, won't you?" I cry myself hoarse  Asking the beloved for a reply time and again Against the rustling sounds of the eastern wind  I hear the hurried footsteps of the fakir coming towards me  Wear the clothes of discrimination urges the fakir Providing me the tattered kafni which provides immense warmth "Cease looking outside!" Said the fakir "Seek the beloved deep inside , and forge an everlasting alliance of infinite love" I went to the lake seeking the inner reflection To find the loving deep blue eyes of the fakir staring right  back at me

Without prudence I took the plunge The moment I beheld your beautiful form Without thinking I ran straight Into the burning bush of love Without fear I jumped off the cliff Taking the leap of faith towards you However, the moment your presence is away from me I feel the pangs of separation every moment What madness is this that has besieged me I feel breathless without your divine presence I look towards the sun, the moon and the stars For a sign from my beloved expressing desire to meet me I wait for that moment at dusk when heaven meets the earth in a warm embrace Did not Rumi feel the pain of a Knife plunging through his heart When Shams of Tabrez walked away from Konya unannounced I run around not knowing where to find you and In the midst of the forest I meet the Fakir Impeccable features of a God in the guise of a mendicant Deep eyes which are the very two eyes of Motherly affection The fakir asked me to stop running around and look within "...

I am going towards the heavenly retreat of Bhagavan Shreedhara I am going to the Green Paradise nestled in the Malnad region Where one can see God's finest creation on the canvass of life Where Yogis go to attain liberation after much strife Where flows the nectar of emancipation from the sacred mount To counter the draught called worldy afflictions rose the stream Where Bhagavan Shreedhara's pristine presence permeates everywhere Where Bhagavan's blessings penetrates every pore of your body Look deeply and you will see this place is blessed by Sage Vasishta The Guru of Shree Rama Samartha by whose will creation exists Look deeply and you will see the mighty armed Samartha Ramadasa The eleventh incarnation of Maha Rudra and the son of Anjana and Kesari Bhagavan Shreedhara's worshipful service at the feet of the Samartha Led to the great Avadhuta's merging in eternal consciousness of Sarangadhara Look deeply and you will see the Vaijayanthi Ma...

He who is boundless and timeless Was bound in the womb of an imprisoned princess He by whose radiance shine the sun, moon and the Stars Was born on Earth when the Sun had set His dusky face radiated light all around All animals bathed in his immeasurable love Unable to contain their emotions The clouds burst forth into Thunderous showers The Yamuna sensing the Lord's presence Overflowed towards Mathura in  spate He who wills creation, appeared On the 8th day When the star Rohini was ascendent The birds seem to sing in joyous abandon The trees seemed to dance to their tunes All animals felt a benign energy pulsating through their bodies They came towards the Prison to catch a glimpse of their creator The noble father longed to hold his son and caress him Off fell the chains which from doing so had prevented him! The alert guards slept as though in a trance Indeed what is impossible for him who makes the cosmos dance! The lord who pervades everything...

||Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha|| ||Om Shree Saraswatyay Namaha|| ||Om Shree Kuladevatyay Namaha|| ||Om Shree Samartha Sadguru Sainaathaya Namaha || || Om Namaha Shivaaya || Blessed is he who worships the beloved and is able to see him in all forms. Time and again several seers and prophets have come forth help mankind realize their full potential. According to Advaita, the one who has realized his self, is one with the almighty Parabrahman, for his ego will dissolve in the vast,unbounded ocean called God. One such avatar (Incarnation) was Bhagavan Shree Ramana Maharishi. I recently came upon an interesting conversation between Bhagavan and a devotee. It is deep and pithy! There is enough water here to quench anyone's thirst! D: The Upanishads say, I am told, that he alone knows the Atman whom the Atman chooses. Why should the Atman choose at all? If it choo ses, why some particular person? M: When the sun rises, some buds alone blossom, not all. Do you blame the sun for th...
