Raman Savithiri Poems

947. Maa Bhuvaneshwari! Beautiful Mother Earth! 050308

Being mother of all inanimate and animate things,
Flying in the sky around the Sun with unseen wings,
...

Amma,
Let people mock at me that I worship just a picture!
Let my heart bulging with devotion accept a puncture!
...

Maa Bharath!
To alleviate money-making disease
You exiled me to a foreign desert.
Could You reduce flames by petrol?
...

Being low-born, poor, ugly and hostile
Prone to make hundreds of bungles
I always become unfit to win affairs.
People weigh my love against situations!
...

Last summer you all departed
Fading to see the fuming sun.
All of you were not seen around
Until merciless autumn was over.
...

Comes once in a year, festival Bhogi;
Homes sweet are scanned thoroughly;
Amassed out are ugly and useless outfits;
Consumed they are in bonfire flames!
...

I –
A child who drank love from my mother’s brimming breasts;
A toddler who ate affection from father’s tiresome turmoil;
A student who gulped facts from master’s marvellous minds;
...

It is always a wonder when we ponder Internet,
Its oceanic services, always we have to learn yet.
In olden days, months it took for a mail to travel,
Email takes just a few minutes; what a marvel!
...

Oh mind! Surrender forever unto Her lotus feet!
Never depart Her abode built deep in your heart!
Merge your breath with Her divine name sweet!
You will see all thoughts stand distanced apart!
...

Amma,

Stars amusingly blinking eyes from Milky Way,
Noisy waves playing just a few meters away,
...
