948. mother, I Have No Other Way! 290208 Poem by Raman Savithiri

948. mother, I Have No Other Way! 290208



You materialize in front of eyes or never appear even in dreams
I have no other way rather than adoring Your delightful deity
You take pity to shower Your grace or toast me in cause and effects
I have no other way rather than chanting Your heavenly names

To attain skilled archery, low-born Ekalaiv adored Drona’s monument.
Assumed Guru out of faith immeasurable, brought out much more talent,
Than that of real Guru who loved Arjuna of high caste and potent!
The untouchable disciple surpassed the prince so gallant and valiant! !

Maa,
You are also after Yogis, Munis, Rishis and devotees capable!
Abandoned me since am I neither orthodox in caste nor valuable.
At least bestow me with tremendous faith as that of naive Ekalaiv.
Let me too reap the fruits of Bhakthi in this very birth when alive! 290208

I am speechless...............Poem is itself good.The comensts are like sagely discourse.I never imagined this website can provided platform for such exchange of knowledge.Reagarding having Darshan of Amma....may be the answer is in meditation.transcedental meditaion..........All the best you will experience the greatness of the Amma.But at the same time we should be little careful to take control of our selves from drifting along.Controlled focus is necessary.I am in a great company

one thing is very clear going by the three earlier comments....even if we have A Satya sai Baba, A Vivekananda, A Matha Amrithanandhamayee from the lower caste base as Mahathmas caste system in India can not be eradicated; i think ' Caste' itself has to take an avathar to eradicate itself go ahead Savithri...Rajagopal h... and Shri Rajaram Ramachandran may canvasfor higher castes but you are right; i am with you; continue to address the caste cancer till it is made to ashes and dissolved in the India ocean where also there stands a chance of those ashes creating another caste world among the 'oceanic species'

I know divine Mother never looks into caste. This poem is to express my anguish for not having Her dharshan even after so much penance. Mother will definitely understand me. I really ask these questions unto her with tears rolling down to drench myself. I hope Mr.RajaRam and Mr.Rajagopal can understand my state. I don't want to discuss about caste system since it is like oceanic. It is still rooted in Indian soil with its merits and demerits. I know even today lovers are burnt alive in remote villages just because they belong to different caste!
