Snail

We already know snails are very slow
Reason behind is, they carry along adobe;
placed on their back.

Blessed are many birds and small animals
can get easy food the snail’s predators;
by virtue of slow speed.

Can’t run faster than enemies to defend,
so prefer to live in the shells, hidden;  
at times enemies break.

Sometimes dogs and cats kill just playing,
snails can't do anything except praying;
defend by body colouring.

Not only animals human too is great threat,
capture for own food millions of them;
notice delicious and appetizer.

In cricket only few players can hit a ton,
In laying eggs most of she snails can;
mate  several times a year.

Password of his home

Door of his adobe
As wide as cosmos
Free to all who wish
To reach his home

No security no barrier
No visa or passport 
Still to enter his home
You need  the password

Anyone wishing to see
Gorgeousness of his home
Take this password
and apply your wisdom

Prayer and praise
Affection
Sacredness
Sacrifice
Worship
Obedience
Reliance
Devotion

Middle age

Life is also a mathematics
number of breaths are counted.
Maths sometimes works on assumption
let’s presume the life be hundred.

Mid point of hundred is fifty
that must be the middle age.
Till twenty five we fill up the energy
for perfect propelling in space.

Next twenty five climb the hill
attain the adventurous peak.
After fifty sloping down starts
hill’s other side in life’s journey.  

In childhood god is with you
in old age you search the God.
Remaining period been struggling
of your pitch to become the lord.

In evening of life wait for sunset
visiting doctors or consuming pills.
Own energy is now exhausted
depend on wind like the windmill.

The beauty of the morning and
radiance of noon are till fifty.
after fifty sun starts going down
towards the evening tranquillity.

Between adolescence and old
say between twenty and seventy,
second half of it is heavier so
              the balancing point
                                is
                             fifty.

Marriage vs friendship

Goal of life is one, that is to live
with comfort and happiness.
Goal of marriage is one, to give
to the other partner love and bliss.

Love does not necessitate marriage
but marriage compels to love.
And for marriage and friendship both
love is certainly a must .

Love is the force of attraction
marriage is force of togetherness.
Marriage is string of love with
socio-legal force to keep attached.

Friendship is a vow to go together,
marriage is a vow to live in unison.
Friend is person who gives the best,
who gives all, spouse is the person.  

Sometimes the situation may arise
a person may be poor and un-attractive;
May not be loved by any one
but may be best for good friendship.

Friendship is a tie of relationship 
that has to go together, the way long. 
Marriage is strongest tie of friendship
that has to long for the life long.

Seeing God

The water drops become ocean
once fallen and merged therein. 
Particles of dust form a planet
amalgamated by force of gravity.

Each soul is a particle of Lord
those will be merged back again;
Like the water separated as vapours,
drops, becoming water in the ocean.

Discovered god particle, assumed
they got the God, glad scientists.
They aren’t able to look beyond
to the god himself, who created it.

Each creature is Lord’s creation
he perceives them everywhere.
His devotee is never lost for him
he is also not lost to them ever.

Nothing can exist without Krishna,
and Krishna is the Lord of everything.
Everything is only his manifestation
all creatures and material part of him.

Lord has powers of Omnipresence,
Omniscience and Omnipotence.
But what Lord Krishna himself says:  
Love is his power, most potent.

Lord Krishna is no longer veiled
from the devotees who love him,
who is conscious to Krishna and
knows Lord is doer of everything. 

Cataracts of the pride, anger, lust,
gluttony, greed, sloth and envy
keep impeded passage of the light
clouding the lens of the eyes.
Removing these by faith, love, trust,
loyalty, attachment and reverence;
selfless and intense devotion to God
is easy way to have Lord’s glimpse.

A person in Krishna consciousness
certainly sees Krishna everywhere,
he sees everything in Krishna.
in each manifestation Krishna appears.

Krishna is beyond self-realization,
devotee becomes one with Krishna.
Krishna becomes everything for devotee
devotee becomes full in loving Krishna.

Whatever you do most stealthy
even in the darkest place,
God residing in you, too see
as he was always, there existed.

Everyone’s soul is Lord’s part
body is his material manifestation
he accepts even if fallen in sin
like pearl after polishing is done. 

Lord consciousness
attains his communion,
love faith trust his peek

Greetings on India’s 70th Independence day

Arranged marriage

In the arranged marriage, become;
groom prince and bride, the princess.
Many other people do work -
to make their relationship a success.

Parents, guardians who loved you
they are dedicated for your well being.
A socially protected life of you, 
they always wish and try to bring. 

The marriage is solemnised  
in created atmosphere of joy and bliss.
Relationship between two families,



arranged marriage tries to establish.

With more experience and knowledge
parents and guardians decide better.
They know what is good or bad

for their beloved son or daughter.

ln love, lover thinks it own victory.
In arranged marriage, spouse as gift
They too feel interference in decision
and there freedom is infringed.

But you can’t break walls and roof
for the freedom of light and air.
Love is like flow of water in river


without two banks it may scatter.

Love that grows in adolescence is
sometimes immature driven by emotions,
They get difficult to distinguish between


true love and their infatuation.

Love does not necessitate marriage
but marriage compels to love one
You may love many people or things
but of them, can't marry everyone.


***


Love depends upon attraction.
Who are poor or not much attractive
may sometimes not be loved by any
and would be left unmarried

In ancient days kings and rulers
used to keep many wives.
Sometimes they kidnapped girls
poor and weak lovers deprived.

Lord Krishna

O my Lord! O my Krishna!
Krishna! Krishna!

You are the embodiment of love
you are the divine joy,
you are protector of the religion
all pain and sin, you destroy.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

Wicked and cruel king Kansa
put your parents in prison.
You released them from jail
appeared as Vishnu’s incarnation.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

As child you led cow herds
had great love for your mother
Grown with magic of your flute 
as hero loved by peers and others
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

Kansa sent sinful Putana to kill you
by feeding breast’s poisoned milk.
She herself was met to her end
you sucked blood, failed her trick.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

He was desperate to kill my Lord
So he sent many other demons.
You defeated all of the demons
killed his wicked men one by one.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

Supported villagers and the cattle,
lifted mountain to make it shelter,
You killed poisonous snake in river
where cattle used to drink the water.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

You blessed, who followed the truth
taught Arjuna lessons of truth and war.
You turned  result of Mahabharat war
into the victory of righteous Pandwas
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

You come on earth again and again
to save it; in various incarnations.
Without you my Lord! I am nothing
in this universe, nothing can happen.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

Ravindra Nath Tagore

A golden brain, nuggets of gem studded,
talented to peep into the celestial world,
discovered colourful flowers of words,
squeezed the nectar, on papers he laid .

Plucked the flowers of several precincts
adorned to become crown of the nation.
Rules India; ‘Jan Gan Man’ his creation
exquisite gem of gems, unique and distinct.

Took off, noble work of the nobel laureate
to soar above globe and subsist  in hearts
of every Indian, world’s writers and poets;
done in the field of literature, the noblest.

Tagore, a school of wisdom, the philosopher
revealed glimpse of Indian great mysticism and culture.
