Paarvathi Poem by Indira Renganathan
Paarvathi
Just a wink she came there in silence
Fair milky like heavenly Kailas
A day it was in heavenly trance
She met me with her godly stance
Something horned it was a divine answer
Long after butting against weighty prayer
Mooed my heart a mirthful whisper
That days ahead sure I'm to butter
Paarvathi came to cream my life
Very often indeed to free from strife
I graced her with 'pottu' of hindu- belief
Helped her hunger with bananas and relief
Graceful she frequented her visit
Godly she was, prayers I did repeat
Still to be she gave her last visit
On a day for long to sit and wait
Paarvathi no more then met me
Cloaked white in mind mine heartened she
Life mine tailed with her motherly glee
Good omen she in mind mooing bubbly frothy
Know not the reason till now
At my gate often she came why and how
To me wasn't just a cow
Paarvathi but the goddess to bless and bestow
Paarvathi is a wonderful poem which i identify with. I fully agree that Paarvathi was not just a cow but a Goddess. When i lived in my Grandparents house in Palakkad, i learnt of the attachment they had for the cows. We had four cows. Of them, one was named Lakshmi. Unfortunately, Lakshmi died. I still remember how my grandmother sobbed. It was like a member of the house was gone.

Both Paarvathi and Lakshmi are not just animals called cows. They are Gomatas -Goddessess who nourish us like a mother. Their presence in a house is a blessing for us. This poem has touched my heart.100+
