Sri Gurudev saranam

THY FEET DIVINE AWAKEN ME IN YOUR TRUE LOVE:
Darkness within a life swept fast,
The reel of drama took as real last,
Ignorance within fought as wisdom,
Embarrassed all as mine an illusion,
Enacted as an actor here got an identity,
I mine welcome self soul within a nonentity,
Learned from books all knowledge n known,
So many degrees honor object of delusion,
None the wisdom reveals the truth a visit here,
Loved all as friends families loved true in heart,
Arrival got alone a stranger lonely a path to depart,
Life checked house assets affluence glamor,
Name n fame covered the land sight savor,
Thought as busy tight schedule work n rest,
Days weeks months years decades if a waste!
Oh, my Teacher, the seer, realized master in the world,
Learn the lesson, hours in sheer love saw to transform,
A new person found within subtle in me a revelation,
Knew the truth, home in the universe, a sojourn,
Allure, the pull the blue planet ensure no return,
Mysterious the golden paradise offers no exit,
Now O' Gurudev know thy kindness an objective,
A purpose a visit an alien as the grace of the divine,
Experience is a true knowledge of birth n death prime,
Once depart self finds mothers womb in time,
Millennium pass soul entrapped purify n sublime,
No desire, aspirations perish, so natural n slow,
Subtle existence an awareness soul exist n glow,
A drop from ocean transform to rain then flow,
A river flows down knows a path merge n slow,
The droplet of water merge in the ocean in time,
A cycle, life once merged, identity loses fine,
So is our visit to the globe teacher's day look,
O' Sri Gurudev, only learned and daily practice,
Search within a way out, obtain travel alone,
none to help, silence a mind intuition perception,
The grace of the Creator, so merciful watches,
The only guide to passionate spirit catches,
Lonely on a path dark in the inner world, a test,
Rise higher see failure a fall in aspirations infest,
Decades witness waves surge in height n depth,
Lessons always sink in a vision, protect pitfall, a wealth,
Inner lights alighted in the night of a lifetime,
Watches focus nowhere near guide O' Gurudev,
Hours pass alone in the dark sit silent in mine,
Quiet calm in peace n bliss infinite Your love shine,
Today is the Guru Purnima a time to surrender,
Tomorrow a blessing new frontier spirit will cover,
Convince console brake the chain of bondage above,
THY FEET DIVINE AWAKEN ME IN YOUR TRUE LOVE.

A Night Ever Nostalgic IN Life Hunts IN Love:
A service life just got alive in me,
Young from Alma Mater as an engineer,
Butterflies in heart, rainbows in a young mind,
A dream enwrapped for career, a rosy future,
No girl ever hunt, predated least a green valley,
Flowers of aspiring heart limitless, fruits of books,
The endless night a lamp, books, digesting knowledge,
Frontier technologies of electronics, telecommunication,
Digital information technology getting dawn,
Melodious songs of Bollywood of the seventies,
Pull out of the hostel to the lonely nights, humming,
Soaked in love for a time so young a mind,
Thrills in a cool breeze, eyes lost nowhere,
heart overwhelmed in a surreal inner joy,
So lonely, solitude intoxicating from thickness,
Thickness as concrete of intricate technology,
Mind blasted a  study table with a sharp hammer,
Hammer of probing mind, intelligence, intuitive,
Awake from the fatigue of a small room to a lake,
Placid, tranquil silver under lights of a night sky,
Passed these days dreamy few times morning broke,
A night came, in life, the service life took root,
A rented house, few belongings, hard day's work,
A cook served dinner, took the bed, a full moon night,
Gentle breeze, bright night sky so alluring whispered,
Got up so late, world asleep, an unreal world, lonely,
Dark homes, empty streets, stray dogs barking,
Walked in the night, never knew why moved aimless,
A young mind swirling thoughts, least understood,
So nostalgic on the nightly prowl my campus near the lake,
Gone the student life, gone these books classes,
Dreams millions of a young heart slowly maturing,
Meticulous planning and outlook, overseas, opportunities,
That night a railway track silvery in full moon night got me...
A cement culvert near the track sat cool numb and alone,
A train passed by me fast tearing the silence of the night,
Lighted windows deem, people, sleeping, fast melt in darkness,
The Silence reigned again, silver night poring cool n gentle breeze,
Sat for an hour or more, felt so lonely, never could know,
Tears flowing warmly unchecked, why to leave own home,
Night train going to an unknown destination, unknown people,
Why I seek to quit my place, why wealth, luxury, an alien land,
Life will end, a career will conclude, life at evening or night,
The night cast the specter of the lonely night, the moon shining,
I thought moon will sink in the horizon, gone its glamor,
The day a new one, the dawn will find no moon, stars got hidden,
New birds swarming, chirping in ecstasy, no known faces,
Why all my richness, name and fame, gone unnoticed a day...
None to shed a tear, none to remember life at a foreign land,
Why not this place, be a small job, kill an aspiring heart,
Be a budding engineer serving own soil for life, so intoxicating,
The people, the known eyes, known smiles, all were taunting,
So surreal, joking at me, why O' engineer crying as a lone wolf,
Come with us pass your life, be like us, sorrows n joyful night time,
Heard I was crying, a track of rail had dews, if its tears, stars too,
No more I found the silver night a lonely, so silent,
Noises deep within returned early dawn,
Still, the moon was a ghost, pale and sad,
Whispered to me, O' spirit, wealth is your happiness,
Happiness perhaps when eyes will be closing, never to open,
Not a lonely departure as this lonely night,
All will be around me, warm tears still were running down,
Lips are drinking, I could never know, so happy n in smiles!!
A Night Ever Nostalgic IN Life Hunts IN Love.
