Raman Savithiri Poems

Self help books say to conquer fear by developing courage.
I wonder unless one reaches non-duality,
How come it is possible to eradicate fear any?
...

Buds are they make worth a plant standing in garden of life?
Dynamic current are they sustaining the flow in river of life?
Brushes are they painting a rosy picture of strife?
...

Mind delights in horizon, of its very sight,
Ever eluding from my walk on vast desert!
Is it God, whom I search here and beyond?
Or is it ecstasy, for which, life I yet spend?
...

From cart wheel to mouse wheel inventions are countless
From era to era the leap in science and skill is boundless
Get along with the stream of human progress endless
But stick to the search of Self the only one changeless!
...

Might be, the blowing wind could stay still!
Mighty sea waves could become immobile!
Mind - Thoughts after thoughts ever bubble;
Mother! How do I yet switch them into nil?
...

If I were given good parents
How I would have come to You?
Thank You for making me understand
That Your love is the true parental love!
...

A gentle little elephant,
Went to a dirty pond,
And had many nice douses,
To rinse dirt and louses.
...

Sudha’s Grandma sent word
To Dhamayanthi to send
Little Sudha to attend
Chores at her end.
...

Amma,

Leaving your glorious Himalayan abode
Devi Parvathi! You have come to abide
...

Months six over!
No crawling, no gurgling,
No toddling, no stumbling.
To everyone’s surprise,
...
