Dr. Madan Gandhi Poems

O Krishana!
You appear to mortals
God and lover;
your dwelling place
...

I
At the Whirling Dervishes Dance
a shady atmosphere reigns
sweetened by soft music of flute and tambourines
...

In the external world
there is ceaseless commotion
turmoil and upheaval
...

We will continue to be caught
in bondage of false relationships
haunted by the fear of loneliness
our inner self torn by senseless strife
...

Ecstasy' is the way to find your love
in the peace and quiet of your being
giving away the body to the rhythm of the earth
combining the mental and the visual in the One
...

To love is to live,
and not to love
is to live a living death
in the most dreaded hell
...

Seated in meditation
utterly single minded
aware only of my breath:
incoming and outgoing
...

‘Forget yourself’
a greater mantra than ‘know yourself’
you listen with whole of your being
when you forget yourself
...

Art of living demands integrity
not what you preach or profess
but the life you live in word and deed
for the others is an example indeed
...

Life is a dream
a dream within a dream
only for a little while there is sunshine
rest of the time sky is overcast with clouds
...
