#Day30 NaPoWriMo What will I seek? What will he give? #AdiBhikshuvu #Sirivennela #Inspiration


Amazon.com: Lord Shiva Hindu God Large 8.25" Temporary arm Tattoo ...

Oh Lord Shivaya…The Supreme vagabond of this universe
What blessings will I seek from you, the Master Scrounger

What can I seek from the one who smears around the ashes
What favours can I ask him…What blessings can I seek in his remnants

The one who blessed the black dark colors to sweet singing Nightingales
And the one who gave the brightest glitters to the roaring thunders and lightening

What can I seek,  what favours can I ask,  what blessings will I pursue!

To the one who blessed a three days’ time to the honey dwelling flowers
And the one who made the stony mountains live forever eternal

What favours can I ask him…What blessings can I seek in his remnants

To the one who almost burnt the God of love while trying to marry
His divine consort Goddess Parvathi,  daughter of the God of Hills

What can I seek,  what favours can I ask,  what blessings will I pursue!

Whose kindness melted even to the demons who worshipped him in penance
And ensured that they get the highest boons and lift their heads in arrogance

What favours can I ask him…What blessings can I seek in his remnants
What can I seek from the one who smears around the ashes

Oh Lord Shankara,  the one who sees the fierce face of love or fire
Three-eyed,  snake adored, short tempered, unstable Shankara!

What will I seek,  what will I ask,  what will I get

The Truth is!

When everything of you is in me.  When you are in me,
The Ultimate seed of life that raises its head when needed to be!

Om Namashivaya

Inspired by the Song Aadi Bikshuvu from the evergreen
Movie: Sirivennela

Lyricist: Sirivennela Sitarama Sastry
Language: Telugu

aadi bikshuvu vaadinedi koredi
boodidicchedi vaadinedi adigedi
aadi bikshuvu vaadinedi koredi
boodidicchedi vaadinedi adigedi
Edi koredi vaadinedi adigedi
Edi koredi vaadinedi adigedi

teepi raagaala koyilammaku nalla rangunalamina vaadinedi koredi
teepi raagaala koyilammaku nalla rangunalamina vaadinedi koredi
karaku garjanala meghamula meniki merupu hangu koorchina vaadinedi adigedi
Edi koredi vaadinedi adigedi
Edi koredi vaadinedi adigedi

tenelolike poola baalalaku moonnaala aayuvicchina vaadinedi koredi
banda raallanu chiraayuvaga jeevinchamani aanaticchina vadinedi adigedi
Edi koredi vaadinedi adigedi
Edi koredi vaadinedi adigedi

giribaalato tanaku kalyaana monarima darigeru manmadhuni masi chesinaadu
vaadinEdi koredi
vara garvamuna moodu lokaalu peedampa talapoyu dhanujulanu karuninchinaadu
vaadinedi adigedi
mukha preeti koreti uggu Sankarudu vaadinedi koredi
mukkanti mukkopi mukkanti mukkopi tikka sankarudu

Translation:

What should I ask for blessings to the master beggar
What should I ask the one who gives the ashes
What should I ask for blessings to the master beggar
What should I ask the one who gives the ashes
What favour should I ask, what should I ask him
What favour should I ask, what should I ask him

What should I ask the one who attributed black colour to the sweet voiced Nightingale
What should I ask the one who attributed black colour to the sweet voiced Nightingale
What should I ask the one who gave the glitters of lightning to the cruel roars of thunders
What favour should I ask, what should I ask him
What favour should I ask, what should I ask him

What should I ask the one who gave too few years to the sweet kids
What should I ask the one who blessed the rocks to live forever
What favour should I ask, what should I ask him
What favour should I ask, what should I ask him

What should I ask the one who burnt the Cupid (manmadhudu) when he is trying to get him married to Parvati (giri bala - daugher of hill)
What favour should I ask
He blessed the demons who were torturing the three lokas with the arrogance of the gift
What favor should I ask
To the Lord shankara who only sees face value (Mukha preeti)
To the three eyed, Short tempered, Unstable Shankara

#Day29 NaPoWriMo Self-Love is the greater love?


Y for Yes...Yes for S!

Self Love Takes illustration print · Stephanie Chinn art · Online ...

Yes.  I will love. Love everyone who shows me love
Just like the gentle summer breeze

Yes...I will make you feel important. I don’t care if you
make me priority or no.  I don’t need to know

Yes...I will not make you feel lone.  Never when I can still breathe
Even when you make me struggle in loneliness and insane

Yes...I will smile at myself in the mirror.  Even though you no
longer call me beautiful.  For the love you gave me is good enough

Yes.  I feel loved.  Not because of messages from random men pouring on
But because you gave it all. The smell, the sounds and the love

Yes...I feel like a woman.  I will dress up in the brightest blue saree
drape myself in the jasmines I adore.  Even if you are not ever around

Yes.  I will remain old school type.  Writing letters that I no longer send
The poems I no longer share.  Scribbling the pages of my dairy in silence

Yes...I will still be awake all night.  Feeling you next to me, soothing me
The forehead pampering by your kindest hands and I feel the tears all dried up

Yes...I sit in silent meditation.  Even when you no longer pray along
I will sing the songs of the Universe that we once shared

Yes...I will not be emotional.  For you never liked me cry or not smile
I know for sure I never will have you again.  Yet I will smile. 

Yes.   I will remember to show up with every new sunrise
I would have cried my heart out the whole night.  Yet I will arise

Yes.  I know you left for the reasons you better know.  The way of Liberation
I will never hinder your progress.  Despite pain gliding down my spine

Yes.  I  know what love is.   In body, in mind and in the soul
I will never call it an illusion.  A Moment of truth.  A Memory to live

Yes.   I will not write any more words. Will close my eyes
I know you are there.  In my thoughts. In my deeds and in my life

Once Loved, can never be the love of the Past!
So, love yourself.   The only love is that of self-reflection!

#Day28 NaPoWriMo Guru’s who guides me everyday- Glory to the Masters of all times

Appa-Amma, Adishankar Advaitam, Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga,  Ayyappa ,  Arunodayam…the spiritual journey with the great Masters!

Today, I am, what I am, for I am made up of all the teachings from the Greatest Masters of all times and those Masters who touched my life at various stages.

This is a small tribute today as my blog touches its 800th Post and my Namaskaramas and Pranams to the greatest of Guru Parampara that beholds the values that drive my existence

Gurubhoyo Namaha

Adi Shankaracharya - THE FUNCTION OF A GURU ⋆ CiniMonk

Innocent was my thoughts
ignorant was my attitude
till I started the search for truth
raising above sublime and weird
towards an undefined liberation for sure

Continuously seeing life and death
and all that this life can bequeath
wondering the cosmic miracles around
galaxy of stars, sun and the moon
the forests, the flowers, the rivers
the thoughts, the emotions, the relations

Every dawn is a new beginning with hopes
Thanks to my Gurus who show me lights
Been my ladder to reach the goals of life
building the path to take righteous walk
A savior boat amidst the storms of life
transforming the thoughts into reality 

My first Guru had been my father,
teaching to smile ever, saying God will take care
My second teacher had been my mother
showing that devotion is not escaping responsibilities
My biggest inspiration was my grandmother
who showed inner strength to survive and lead

My teachers at all stages who lead us
and Guru's and Masters who touched us
from the visible to the invisible
Aurobindo teachings, Advaitha Vedanta
conversations within and with my guru
from the material to the divine
from the ephemeral to the eternal

Thanks to each Guru who touched my life
to the Guru who touched the soul
There can be no better way to pay gratitude
than surrendering to self in humbleness and peace
Wishing the World finds a healing
Health that is the primary wealth
and bliss of mind, body and soul!


Guruvey Saranam!
Gurubhayo Namaha!
Aham Brahmasmi!
Loka Samatham Sukino Bhavanthu!
Om Shanthi! Shanthi! Shanthi!
