New Year

 We notice the passing of the year only on 31st December. its time to reflect  time gone by..

 

Earth completes its cosmic trip

Past year has gone in a blip !

Lo! This unique day is here

Reflect, Wonder and joyously steer

On times bygone and time still here

 Path spent in joy and shadows of fear

Touch, Awaken and Inspire..

Explore the inner, beyond and every frontier

Be willing and Volunteer

My wish for all far, near & dear

With Love, Light and Laughter sincere

In every moment of the upcoming year

Let Joy Persevere 😃 

 

Silence

 After attending a 3 day silence program, I reflect on the experience..

              

 Silence

An inward journey with no escape

Where your inner demons come to surface

 

No distractions, no where to hide

When your thoughts rise like as a tide

 

Face you must and accept them all

For the inner drama to come to a stall

 

What follows is an expansive still

A joy like no other can fulfill

 

Silence is all it takes

To experience the limitless inner space 

 

 

 

 

Kashi.. A World Apart

Kashi, Varanasi or Benaras with its many names is an enigma to experience..They say you can visit this place only when there is a call and permission from the Lord Kala Bhairava.. the Lord of Time himself.  This is my Ode to this place which has stood the test of time and continues to enthrall people from life till death.

 

Kashi.. A World Apart 

A place where time seems to have stopped

The murky and the divine

Mingle here and intertwine

Normal and mystical blur their lines

An energy so pristine and fine

Engulfs every street every shrine

I close my eyes and sit for sometime

Stillness I feel in the core of mine

An expansive space creates within

Clears my thoughts and imagination stops

From the delectable chats to the holy ghats

Temple bells or market honking noise

I find an inner quiet amidst the chaos

Ganga flows relentless non stop

Merging life and death in her every drop
