by Chance or by Choice..

Bliss breeze sweeping through
not knowing who's on its way

Some souls choose to bump in
Some others bump in by chance

Either way, both are touched
by its tenderness and power

By choice or by chance
both are soaked by the bliss waves

Now, its purely one's choice
To stay on or step out...

Do u know something?

Power to see, love and laugh
All a result of us being ALIVE
Taking it for granted
Tiring all our senses, maximum

Birthright, a thing frequently claimed,
with fervor and arrogance…
Our very birth itself not being our right
Where’z the question of birthright?

Life’s a lottery
A pure grace from the Ultimate
Let’s accept with humility
What’s being showered continuously.

Our wants know no end
Never do we stop by and think;
‘I’m contented, I’m so grateful…’
Our minds trained to think thus;
‘Let me gather more, My friend has more…’

Time has come to rewire our thoughts
Software of our minds needing updation
Power-filled words from an enlightened
Is the one and only key, friend…

Why is it so?

5 petals for a hibiscus...
Big ears for an elephant...
Hard gets the areca nut...
Round is our eye ball... Why so?

Slow moves the sloth...
Quick gets the cheetah...
Meek gets the lamb...
Fierce gets the snake... Why so?

Involuntary is the heart...
Complex are the nerve signals...
Viscous gets the blood...
Slit are the lips... Why so?

Innocent is a baby's cry...
Beautiful is real love...
Selfless is the Master...
Tender is the Existence... Why so?

Divine wills so... Why so? ...

Value - Addition

As wood pieces we enter
shapeless and hopeless
Master picks up the pieces, carefully
etches and chisels out extra wood

Lo! alive emerges out a being
Standing on his own legs now
Confident and blissful
Ever enthusiastic unlike before

Now for some touch ups...

Applies a coat of clarity
Varnishes with some love and care
Sprays some paint of lightness
Places a crown of simplicity

What do we have now?...

Our potentials getting actualized
Radiating tirelessly the bliss within
Others smell it, and simply get attuned
to find themselves being led to their master!

Feel the Pinch

Sun rises and the moon rises, on & on
We wake up and sleep back, on & on
Gotten mechanical, haven't we?
racing behind those impermanent

Feel the pinch of the fleeing time
And the urge to merge with eternity

Millions of breaths pacing in and out
Paving way for us to stay alive,
only to experience the Ultimate

Again, feel the pinch of our souls, fast asleep
Without a moment's pause,
Let's dive deep with sincerity
to soak in the ocean of Eternal Bliss!

Graced are we...

Crores and crores of waves of the ocean

only a few picked and nurtured

unaware of the grace descended

take Master for granted

Well, He watches us so

places his compassionate knife of ego-melters

accuarte being the points and situations

Thus reminding us His watchful eye of mother on us

Flushing our Beings with energy unmatched

also, gives us maturity to handle it

building spiritual ego in us, not the aim

Making us Nithyanandas is His sole aim

When I saw U...

Attempting to verbalize the inexpressible here
Only to find a space of satisfaction.

When I saw you,

I, at once breathed a sigh of relief
to find the formless having assumed a form

A strong feeling from within
assured me the Planet is blessed

Deep impacting words overflowing from somewhere
One can verily feel the source to be the 'cosmos'

Untainted with pride or vested interests,
Compassionate pearls of wisdom
shooting straight into my Being
to find myself afloat in this loving raft of 'Nithyananda'

Breathing the Divine

Unable to express the transformation within
Witnessing a new life in everything around

God, a mere concept to me
Until I met my Master

Experiencing the Divine expressing through me

Was pondering day in & day out;
What exactly is causing me relaxation, fullfilment

The answer popped out!
It was Divine Himself who had assumed a form;
A true living example
Makes one feel, ‘yes’, I too can get there!
That is the assurance my heart-soul is graced with

Though not physically present beside me
Can breathe Master’s presence every moment
Omnipresence, just a casually verbalized concept to many
Not anymore...it's time to open up and be alert, friend
His all-pervading nature presents before
In grandeur not imagined before.

Arpana - Surrendering to the Divine

In complete surrender
lies the key to yonder
To merge with Existence
with the Master, in His presence.

Ah, how beautiful to offer oneself
mind, body, spirit, complete self
To the Only One, to Nithyananda
what remains after, is only Nithyananda!

Arpana means offering
but what is ours to offer after all?
Shedding our EGO, shedding our 'karmas'
which make us think everything is ours!

How fortunate are we to be on this journey!
where nothing is ours, yet everything is ours
What can be more blissful than sitting at His feet,
Drinking His grace nectar sweet?

Three cheers to Nithyananda!
to Existence, to Shiva!
Embrace us, desert us not,
Take us with you, away from what we are not.

Dancing in Ecstacy

When the clear sky is covered with clouds,
when the rain drops hit the ground,
when the branches sway with the breeze,
the peacocks dance to nature's sound.

When white snow starts to melt,
when flowers start to bloom,
when birds start to sing,
nature celebrates arrival of spring.

When the first ray of sun strikes,
when the fog turns to dew on hay,
when the darkness starts to fade,
birds welcome a new day.

When i see His child-like smile,
when i see His glowing eyes,
when i see His beauty and grace,
my heart fills with ecstacy;
my Being craves for more and more;
my eyes ask for the bliss behind the form;
my Self wants to merge with Him.

What IS IT?

What is the meaning of this life of mine?
You say it is the gift from the divine,
Fears and worries flood my Being,
Tears and sorrows crowd my feeling!

Is there a way out of this?
Is there a chance to escape into Bliss?

If god gave us this gift of existence,
Why do we worry? Why this pain?
Are we all just playing a game?

Teach us O swami, the trick;
Give us O swami, a small tip;
Lead us with your meditation;
Shower us the gift of concentration,
To forget our mind, to live in the divine
Nithyananda, absorb us into the sublime.

Let me in!

Groping in the dark

With Unconscious boldly leading the way

Being-heart get tired

Eager to be led by Pure consciousness

Like an oasis in the desert,

I stumble upon and taste the Master's spirit

Now, i feel every pulse crying in urgency

to soak into that guiding consciousness

Sitting atop a growing pile of dry words
Feel shaky and hopeless

Grace me with a spark of experience that may burn away this pile without a trace

Show me, show me your Cosmic form

My Being has waited enough, now parched

Flames of low frequencies

Desperately trying to snare me in

Leave me not behind; O! Paramahamsa

Accomodate me in your space...

The Guiding Light!

O revered one, I cry when i see the world around me,
sorrow and anguish fill my heart
to see that there is no regard,
for the existence itself
which creates the i, me and myself,
then i find a light, dim at the start
but an opening for the heart,
positive vibrations run through
when your teachings are so clear and true.

O revered one, O swami, Existence is great
suffering and depression are now the order of the late,
through your compassion and blessings
we are fortunate to be guided by your preachings,
preach, i think may not be the word
as you are the word itself,
when you teach that meditation is a way to jump into the inner self,
be it mahamantra or nithyadhyan,
we practice them all with great elan,
now is the time to pay our gratitude and respects,
may you continue to shower your blessings across me and all subjects.

Let logic rest, and let the heart open up!

Anger, doubt and ignorance blind-folding people
Missing the divine call life after life;

Well, let's not miss Him this time!

We may miss Him, but He never misses us, No!

Reins of our life and death passed on to Him

For us to relax silently

Into the caring lap of His

Unperceivable becoming perceivable

Only by His grace

Guru stands by our side, Always!

Watching us advance from disciple to Guru

Let's all pray for the grace to tire our logic soon
To realize something beyond

Every minute, our intelligence getting updated
To fall from the head to the abyss of our hearts

Let's open up, give a little space
For Him to enter us…

Only to ward off the identity we are protecting hard
To become Nithyananda ourselves!

Ah! There can be no better blessing than this
Merging with the guiding light itself
Becoming the guiding light ourselves….

Ah! How do I explain?

To a man blind,
How do i explain the vivid azure of the sun-set?

To one not tasted sugar before,
How do i explain its sweetness?

To one who's deaf,
How do i explain the melody of a flute?

To a child with no legs,
How do i explain the joy of dancing?

To a Being with NO yearning for God,
How do i explain that bliss is the path and goal?!
How do i explain the power of deep trust?
How do i explain the loving compassion of existence bestowed upon?
How do i explain that he is God himself?
How do i explain about this never-ending list?

Slip in and Celebrate!

Indeed, blessed are we to have slipped in to this “Well of Nectar”

Questioners and doubters throng at the rim, looking in
Only to find us celebrating madly!

Few others, oblivious to the celebration happening around
Hardly find time to peek in

Loud cheers, calls, invites rushing out from the well
To make more slip into the kingdom of bliss
Well, hardly one or two grab, risk and slip in
Only to find a grand world, unseen before!

Deep in gratitude, they join in the celebration
To continue embracing more beings into the well

Three cheers to Nithyananda!

Mystical Majesty - Himalayas

O! magnificient Beauty,
The one closest to my heart
Departing with you strangles my Being.

Mystical you appear;
To describe you, my pen droops down in shame.

My inner feeling tells me
Something transpires between you and me,
I can't say what
B'coz the language you use is Silence.

One thing I can be sure of is
You make one realize he is so small

Ah! What a way to make one shed the Ego,
And merge into the spirit of Thee!

Lead me.....O! Master

So majestic, yet so compassionate,
Indescribably graceful is Thee.

All embracing is Thy nature
None fail to feel the power of Thy unfading smile.

Making the Truth sound so simple
You sow the seeds of quest in all minds well asleep.

Weeds of misconception so carefully uprooted
Breaking open one from familiar coccoons.

Advance me from holding Thy hand
To Thou holding my hand;
Only but, to cross the viscious circle of Samsaara.

I lay in silence and a deep conviction
At Thy Lotus Feet, O! Master,
Only to become one with You.

Now, what have I to offer in gratitude
Except dedicating every breath of mine
In making more enter Thy Kingdom of Joy!
