Jaggery days

This poem celebrates Makar Sankranti, a festival of new beginnings, gratitude, and harvest. As the winter mists lift, the sun's radiance returns, symbolizing hope and renewal. The skies fill with soaring kites, carrying dreams and prayers for prosperity. The air carries the aroma of roasted sesame and jaggery, signifying warmth, unity, and sweetness in life. This poem captures the essence of Sankranti—the transition from darkness to light, from cold to warmth, reminding us that every end is a new beginning. It is a tribute to the simple joys of life and the enduring spirit of hope and community.

January mists. 

Yet the sun shines, the kites fly, 

and the people pray. 

Days of darkness, gone, 

mists carry roasted fragrance.

Jaggery, and nuts.

Song of swing

This was written on 7th of August, 2024, saved in drafts and not posted...

The waxing crescent

blushes beautifully.

Gleaming gorgeous greens,

swing merrily in monsoons.

Anklets tinkle freely,

like ringing laughters in parental abodes.

Misty showers of grace,

answer the supplications.

Couples soak in joys,

on their journey together.

Love blossoms,

life sprouts,

and nature rejoices.

The creation

celebrating the creator.

The voice within

There are chambers in our hearts,

cavities,

where our thoughts dwell. 

And while some of these pockets 

are filled with light,

airy, ventilated and vibrant;

some are dark, dank pits,

abysmal and abominable.

Both exhort. 

Both persuade. . 

Both have a voice. 

An orotund voice,

loud and clear.

Alchemizing us. 

Rama and Ravana 

dwell within us, 

in these niches.

Welfare unto all

Payo ji maine

 Payo ji maine raam rattan dhan payo

Like the pied-crested cuckoo, 

thirsty, parched and dry, 

Thy Meera, 

seeks Thee, 

yearns for Thy name-water, 

the priceless elixir, 

the valuable gemstone. 

The blessed downpour of Thy grace, 

Meera sings Thy name, 

and Thee satiates her longing. 

A treasure to cherish, 

she loses all 

to find Thy richness. 

And thus blest, 

radiant with joy, 

she follows the melody of Thy flute 

and Thee leads her to salvation. 

Mesmerizing, the play of love and devotion. 

The pied-cuckoo is always quenched.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.
