Glory To Bhārath - A Tribute For Independence Day















Glory to thee! Of nations most enchanting,
To the land of prowess and sacrifice!
Where of them all, the most dreadful ,
the fear of death lay slayed and conquered!

Glory to thee, my beloved land!
where every drop of morbid blood red
and the sweat of torment shed,
lay sanctified in thy holy name !

Glory to thee and to thy children
for the gift of liberty thee has bestowed!
To this chaste fertile earth sanctified in
drops of courage juice dripped from void sin!

Glory to them all who fought
In thy holy name! Oh mother,
thy children ever loyal! In whom it gushes
in those veins the very love for thee rushes!

Glory to this land with flowing rivers
of abundance, of diversity! To the
birth-land of Ahimsa! To thee mother,
Where enemies were conquered with Non- violence!

Glory to thee who radiates tranquility,
even if the entire world savages in warfare!
Glory to thee who soars high in the thirst for knowledge
whose children seeking the truth!

Glory to thee on whose lap rest
they the children of truth, guides,
the sparkling, shimmering rays of
hope, of wisdom, of eternity!

Glory to thee, where pitch darkness
is dispelled away by intense luminosity!
Oh mightiest, let thy might enhance
with thy children ever serving generosity!

Glory to this land of saints!
Of god-men and divine mentors!
Whose words strike the soul's center!
Whose experience a parable timeless!

Glory to my beloved Bhaarath (India)!
The very abode of respectability!
The treasure of all knowledge!
The crown of immateriality!

I Find my Inner Joy

 


When I close my eyes,

with gaze fixed in between my eyebrows,

totally immersed in your form,

totally resonating in the 'japa' of your name,

When this world seems trivial,

I find my inner joy, deep in myself!


When my whole being rejoices,

finding new life in true nectar,

the core of my self which is familiar,

as though known since ages!

New and yet ancient and dearest,

I find my inner joy and bliss!


This joy that one may crave outside,

only a millionth of the eternal ocean,

fading away quickly!

Incomparable, unmatchable it is,

that I found within me!

Bliss and the essence of this Universe!

I trust you my Lord

 








When insults are thrown on me,

harsher than the pelting of stones,

I shall not grieve or fall prey to them,

I surrender to you, I trust you my Lord!


When life brings unexpected situations,

Leading to untraversed unknown paths,

I shall not fear, i shall not lose hopes,

I seek your guidance, I trust you my Lord!


When trust and deceit are veiled!

When hatred is hidden in love,

When falseness oozes out of deceiving truth!

I shall not lose my faith in you!

Hold my hand forever, i trust you my Lord!

Love Blossoms like a Flower

 









When a part of me I see in you,

totally free of critical flaws or boundaries,

It's not just fondness or friendship,

It's love that blossoms like a flower!


When ever moment spent together is nectar,

and every second of separation pricky thorns,

It's not just attachment or possessiveness,

It's love that blossoms like a flower!


When every thought of you gives joy,

When every contemplation brings sweet memories,

It's not a world of dreams or imagination!

It's love that blossoms like a flower!


When no matter what I don't lose hopes in you,

When no matter what my trust fades not in you,

I see our souls are one forever eternally,

I know that love is blossoming like a flower!

Sprinkling Life

 


When I look at your magnificence,

I forget myself losing me to you!

Your every drop that touches me,

opens an ancient door, an ancient connect!


As you flow effortlessly with all zest,

so does every second of life ticking away!

The song you sing is alike to my soul,

though our languages differ! 


In your world without barriers,

in your world that is pure and sublime,

you fill my heart with joy, inexplicable!

You touch my heart like love would!

My Heart Surpasses Boundaries












When my heart surpasses boundaries,

touching the vast limitless open skies!

I see me in you and you in me,

knocking the doors of love eternally!


When my heart surpasses boundaries

made by man in the name of religion,

in the name of race and divisive caste,

I choose love, beyond all demarcation!


When my heart surpasses boundaries,

the delusive walls of hatred fall apart,

opening my eyes to your horizon,

to true love, the essence of creation! 


When my heart surpasses boundaries,

its a blossoming lotus to sunlight!

Full of warmth and compassion!

Welcoming you into my life with love!

Blossom












I see you flowering bright!

Like a face with a glowing smile! 

Crimson petals that catch my sight!

Not just the bees, I'm dear to you too!


Nectar that oozes love and life!

Hovering butterflies and the golden sun light!

With each day sparkling in new flowers!

Bringing new rays of hope, new paths to traverse! 


With every flower that blossoms, bringing newness!

Bringing in delight and joy to my heart!

Like you bloom with care and nourishment!

So would I with love and kindness!
