My Motherland Poem by Rekha Mandagere

'Cradle of human speech, citadel of culture Beauty smiles through its arts and sculpture Its heavenly music in cascading rhythms' Especially these lines sing to me, in rhythms of times past so clearly felt. 'Dotted with holy shrines, churches, mosques Built in antique styles fitting home for mystics Varied cultures, unique rituals and festal airs' I love the diversity of all these people, pouring out their love, their worship to God. In heaven everywhere voices sing, songs are sung by each individual in love and praise of God. Different genders, voices, songs, but all sparkling with their individual love praise worship of God. I also want to sing of love not differences.

I posted 'My Eyes Open Into All Citadels' as an inspiration and celebration inspired by your poem 'MY MOTHERLAND'. I am glad the poem turned out so unique and wonderfully beautiful. Warmest Regards my friend :) Terence

A great wholesome chant of the republic of india beyond all complications..

Rekhaji sings a new insect to our nationality... Mystic land of saints and savants Breathing chants of Vedas and Upanishads To unfold the mysteries of universe’s birth Bhagavad Gita, a gospel of eternal Truth The twin epics- Ramayan and Mahabharat Great repositories of all virtues and vices Upholding renunciation, service as life’s ideals Soaking in Truth, purity and serene silence

This is what our India is, great beauty all acorss zones, Faith, Religions, festivals, culture and languages great saints given the gospel of life. Great Poem - 10

Beautiful flow of thoughts ceremoniously rich in tone. Witty patriotic piece of poetry depicting unity in diversity and rich cultural heritage, lovely and very passionate. Thanks for sharing Rekha.

Here in America we feel a reverence for your land of mystic proportions. A brilliant summation of your land and culture. A memorable, worthy poem. I had open heart surgery 5 years ago and my surgeon was from India. You have much to be proud -10

Bharat...is unparallel, so is to say a minimum.Apart from deep love for the country the poetry has a good rhythm and flow.Good patriotic poetry.

India, dense of diversity cultures...Holding differences of religions not make harmony less but harmony feast...The love each other without any barriers, as i for you, you for me, respect your believe and respect what i believe is something beautiful. No religion stand for fighting each other..People can fight to get they want, they can do it but they won get it at the end..but when we love we absorb all thing and beautifies all bonds..like a rope, if use a single thread it easily break, so we need a lot of threads to create strong bond to hold and to make beneficial thing..India is interesting place! _Unwritten Soul
