Dedicated to my mother on her Birthday

The video I did today because she was like ocean……

Watching the vastness

Waves playing with the shore

Running to and fro

Orchestrating the music

Here I am standing on the sidelines

Remembering her fragrance

Searching for her spirit somewhere

What was she an ocean of love ?

Or the free flowing wind ?

May be both

The spring in her walk

Relentless will to survive

She lived every moment

With enthusiasm of a child

Watching ebb and flow

I long to hide myself in her arms

Merge into her embrace

Hidden from preying eyes

In her life she was never a coward

The why she left without a goodbye?

These Whys would haunt me until the end

Yes I miss her all the time

Then again find her in the realms of my being

What really am I ?

Truth is ……

Her essence left behind

Today’s sun majestic in setting so was she, Sun would come back tomorrow but she left once for all

Walks with Strangers

Morning or evening walks

Everytime crossed

On the same path

Initially a hesitant smile

Then a broader one

Then a casual wave

Then a tentative Hi

Then a greeting

Then a small talk

One day we sit together

A Shared conversation

Begining of the journey

From strangers to friends

A breeze A moment

Today on the walk

Silent breeze

Silently brought the moment

Deeply buried in my memory

A long time ago

A tear and a laughter

Caught my eyes

At the same time

Random- Walking with myself

When I reflect

There is only me Alone

Walking with myself

With no compulsions

No need to break the Silence

When sand sinks my feet

The wave washes them

The bliss engulf me

That is the perfect moment

Of celebration of Breath

And of SELF

MOHANJI- A Conscious

On the auspicious occasion of MOHANJI’S ( my GURUJI ) birthday expressing my gratitude for his Grace.

(Pic courtesy Artist Suman Gupta @ https://www.sumangupta.com )

With Every passing year,
I believe less and less in Miracles,
I don’t want to be rescued,
From the hardships of life,
There are so many odds,
Lots of everyday struggles,
But instead of running away,
I simply stand there,
They pass away.

Nor much I take personally these days,
But it was not the case always,
I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS
HE told me so many times,
The moment I stopped searching,
HE is everywhere,
In the whisper of my prayers,
In the warmth of my breath,
In the ocean of love,
What changed ?
When MOHANJI blessed my being,
Nothing much outwardly,
But deep inside nothing is same,
Fears anxiety insecurities,
Vanished into thin air,
Gratitude Surrender Peace,
Are my companions these days,

MASSI – My Mother

M          


                        

 
Every day we thank our mothers in so many ways but today it being “Mother’s day” is a reminder for us to say it in a special way. For us (Me, my brother Sanjay, and sister (Joy) our Massi is our mother our world. Massi (mother’s sister) means like mother, but she has treated us like her own children and stood by us in each and every moment of our joys and sorrows. In today’s world it is rear to find love so selfless and so profound. No words of gratitude could express what you mean to us.

Her embracing arms are our shelter,

Her soft hands have the healing magic,

Her wisdom a guiding light in our path,

Where would we find love so pure?

It is only in her beautiful eyes.

             She said you are never alone,

            She said you are part of my world,

            She said I am the rock you can lean on,

            She said all your sorrows are mine,

           She cries when we are in pain,

           She Laughs when we are happy,

            She said my home is yours,

   Where would we find someone like her,   

    We thank her everyday in thousand ways,

     Her being in our life is blessing of GOD,

     MAA(mother) represents HIM on this earth,

     But in our life HE had send two representatives,

        One was our mother and other is our MASSI,

         Today is a day to salute her and say Thank you,

         For showering us with her unconditional love.

MOHANJI-Unconditional Love 

23rd of February Mohanji’s Birthday.  A few words of gratitude on this special occasion for the Master whose ‘Path of Pathlessness’ shows tbe way to JUST BE




Nothing is such a power force

It created the whole world 

Nothing but only Consciousness 

Connected me to my master”MOHANJI”

 I went to HIM for knowledge 

And an assurance for HIM to be with me

Smiling HE said I have nothing to give

So don’t expect anything from me

I only have unconditional LOVE

It is for all the beings on this earth 

And it is limitless and boundless 

You take it  untill you reflect ME

Once you see yourself as me

You are liberated and free

Then we can connect effortlessly 


#grace #love # gratitude 

Loss of self

“M” 

In the pitch dark night stillness,

The air whispering softly

The waves touching the shore silently,

Every element aware of the agony,

I could sense the warmth of that embrace, 

My head buried deep in my arms,

The mind wiped  of all the thoughts,

An emptiness settling  in my heart,

When I looked up and around, 

The glitter of my eyes was the only light, 

Through which  I saw her saying goodbye,

After sixteen years since she left, 

My search to see her as  a glittering star, 

Remains unfulfilled because of my misty gaze.

A day I never celebrated- VALENTINE’S DAY

​. “M” 


                                                     Dedicated to my better half Arun Prabhakar. 

Valentine’s day so much hype around a day, 

Some may be bestowed with too much love, 

While others may feel uncared and not loved, 

For me it is an ordinary day, 

The rain has made it special, 

And my “morning friends” are in a mood to play. 

            When i think of love it is not just for a day, 

             It is not in red roses or chocolates or a ring,

            It is not holding hands or forever vows, 

             These are just gestures which may fade away. 

For me love is to let other be,

To  let other have the freedom of choice,

To let other have a few thoughts of his/her own, 

To let other decide what he/she wants,

To let the other feel partner not a slave or sub-ordinate,

To let the other agree or disagree on the same thought, 

To walk apart but together not in front or behind, 

To live the love day-to-day in countless ways. 

                     I know I can decide matters minor to major,

                    I need no permission but just a communication, 

                    That is the Love which only fortunate may have

                    Yes,  after 17 years of marriage i may not had a Valentine’s day,

                    But Respecting my individual being is most precious gift, 

                   I get  from him  everyday ,

                   And it makes my everyday  -“ A Valentine’s day”

P.S.     Trust is the oxygen &  Giving space to each other is the life-line of a relationship.
