A welcome glint

In moments of stillness, when the chaos quiets and nature reveals its gentle truths, even a fleeting beam of sunlight becomes a messenger of grace. This haiku captures that sacred instant—the golden light piercing through a canopy, evoking hope, presence, and spiritual awakening. Inspired by the beauty of the natural world and the soul’s readiness to receive illumination, this poem is a quiet welcome to the divine radiance that surrounds and sustains us. Blinding golden glint,  peeping from lush canopy.  I welcome the light. Linking with Moonwashed Weekly Prompt  Welfare unto all  Rab rakha 

At Thy doorstep

On the ninth day of Navratri, coinciding with Ram Navami, the heart reaches its highest pitch of devotion. This poem is a prayer shaped by yearning, whispered at the doorstep of the Divine. Inspired by the quiet culmination of nine sacred nights, it captures a devotee’s longing, love, and ultimate surrender. When the Lord’s glimpse answers the prayer, pain dissolves into peace. In that moment, the soul knows—it is heard, it is held, it is salvaged. Oh! And I yearn for Thee,  with a heart full of love.  Oh! And I stand at the doorstep,  waiting for Thee to come. Oh! And, I pray earnestly, longing, for Thy blessed glimpse. Oh, do You hear me as I place my faith in Thee. Oh! And Thy beatific sight, my burdens dissolve, I am salvaged. Welfare unto all  Rab rakha 

The Ascent

The Ascent This poem is dedicated to the seventh day of Navratri, which honors the Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)—the gateway to divine consciousness and spiritual awakening. It reflects our human imperfections and the transformative power of surrender. As seekers, we are gently guided by the grace of the Divine Mother toward clarity, compassion, and higher truth. On this sacred day, may we dissolve our ego, embrace humility, and open ourselves fully to the radiant light of Maa's love. We, the sinners,  full of fallacies,  many shortcomings too, guided towards a better self,  with love and surrender.  Jai Ma. Jai Jai Ma.  Welfare unto all  Rab rakha 

Towards Light

Towards Light The Third Eye Chakra represents wisdom, insight, and inner vision. On the sixth day of Navratri, we invoke Goddess Katyayani, who grants clarity and spiritual awakening. This poem reflects the journey from ignorance to enlightenment, where the divine truth illuminates our path. Just as the third eye opens to higher consciousness, so does devotion guide us beyond illusion. Fumbling in the dark,  we wander and dawdle, squandering our existence,  and then the path is lit with the light of divine Truth. Jai Ma. Jai Jai Ma. Welfare unto all  Rab rakha 

Beyond Silences

On the fifth day of Navratri, we honor Skandamata, the goddess of wisdom and nourishment, while also aligning with the throat chakra (Vishuddha)—the center of communication and truth. Often, our words falter, and our thoughts remain clouded. Yet, beneath hesitation and uncertainty lies clarity and divine expression, revealed through devotion and prayer. This poem reflects the journey from doubt to spiritual eloquence, guided by the grace of the Goddess. Words falter,  hazy, blurred expressions,  havering in our minds, and underneath this veil,  clarity and passion, with prayers.  Jai Ma. Jai Jai Ma. Welfare unto all  Rab rakha 

The bloom within

The bloom within On the fourth day of Navratri, we honor Goddess Kushmanda, the radiant source of divine energy. This day is linked to the Heart Chakra (Anahata), the center of love, compassion, and harmony. Just as seeds bloom into flowers with care, our hearts blossom with kindness and devotion when nurtured by divine blessings. This poem reflects the sacred unfolding of love within, inspired by the gentle yet powerful presence of Ma Durga’s grace. Jai Ma! Nestled in the folds, within the layers of heart,  seeds of love and compassion that grow and bloom,  with blessings.  Jai Ma. Jai Jai Ma. Welfare unto all  Rab rakha 

The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse On the **third day of Navratri**, we invoke **Devi Chandraghanta**, the embodiment of strength, courage, and serenity. This day resonates with the **Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)**—the center of inner power, will, and transformation. Just as the **sun fuels life**, this chakra fuels our ambitions and discipline. Amidst life's inner storms—desires, doubts, and struggles—devotion becomes the unwavering force that grounds us. This poem reflects that journey, where amidst chaos, the divine presence remains our anchor. **Jai Ma!** Rough and stormy, inside,  waves of desires and thoughts, and at the center of this cyclone, rests the sacral power of devotion.  Jai Ma. Jai Jai Ma. Welfare unto all  Rab rakha
