Savita Tyagi Poems

Usually I forget most of my dreams!
Sometimes though images are so strong that their impression remain,
However small it is.
Last night's dream was also something like that.
...

Some time in doing simple things
The chain of events that take place
Make me think that
All this isn't my doing alone.
...

Today I sing just for my self
This music as natural as the breath I take
Doesn't belong to pages of poetry
I sing not in memory of past
...

Lord! Show me the way and I can walk on it.

Stings of thorny bushes will not swear me.
...

If indecisive when roads cross on
Follow the path that you are on.

It may not hold the charm of newness
...

Morning

O! Autumn
What mask have you put on today?
...

Sunday Morning
Poems fly over front page
Disappear so quick
Like planes running from tarmac
...

Lift the veil from your heart
To get the glimpse of your beloved.

That beloved resides in every heart
...

Nestled in fertile planes of North India
Is a small town of Vrandavan, filled with much
Revered devotional and transcendental music.
Crossing the town I closed my eyes for few seconds
...

A few of days back it was Shiva Ratri. Like other years I did my Pooja and heard Sri Rudram on Utube. But lately, I have started to learn the meaning of Sri Rudram mantras too. When it comes to study our Vedic literature, Sri Rudram occupies the prime position. I still haven't read the meaning of all the mantras. But just the first one always catches my attention. How admirable it is that before praying for anything else, Rishi prays to pacify the anger of Sri Rudra and his bow and arrow.

Anger is the most destructive power. Thoughts produced by anger and charged like arrows destroy every thing. On a personal level my prayers and taking little bit of time to study Sri Rudram may not make any change in the world, but if I can keep my self calm and pray for my own anger to subside while reciting the first mantra of Sri Rudram I would have achieved some thing! The beautiful meanings of our ancient literature is what draws me more and more to it.
