Raman Savithiri Poems

When You stand as a magnet mountain
How is that I am attached to the world?
Can’t You drag and me, in You sustain?
How long will I wait near Your threshold?
...

Husband is of age eighteen
Wife is below teen
Shiva like handsome hero
Waits for his beloved to bloom
...

When I turn inward to see You
The sights I saw outward blur my vision
When I turn inward to hear You
The sounds I heard spoil my mission
...

Daily I offer flowers
At least one day wont you take one blossom
By your petal fingers to soothe my bosom
Heaving daily to see you?
...

Amma, Give A Heart Void Of Thoughts!

I wait to have
A pure heart void of thoughts,
...

Amma, of what use am I born?

The beatings from a blacksmith’s expert hand,
Received by an iron piece,
...

Amma, Are You a business minded mother?

Why does a camel eat the thorny cactus,
In spite of its mouth bleeding, while chewing?
...

Every cause will have its own effect;
Who could stop any befalling fate?
Let me gain courage to accept any doom;
As an effect of my own past karma;
...

While gulping foodstuff in variety,
With my spouse and children only,
Forgetting about million folks,
Who hunger for a single feast,
...

Amma,

The smallest one-celled creatures to broadest banyan,
The tiniest amoebas to largest whale are Your children.
...
