O my Krishna...(poem)

Protect my body, like Draupadi's.

Tease my heart, like Yashoda's.

Focus my mind, like Meera's.

Love my soul, like Radha's.

Chari, take me home (poem)

I felt, I had landed in a dear yet unfamiliar country,
I was looking forward to meet my old family, waiting at home,
I jumped inside the cab, and declared cheerfully, "take me to God",
I saw in the rear view, to utter surprise, my guru, was driving the cab.

Who can love me more than God? (poem)

Who can protect me better than Krishna?

Who can illuminate my journey stronger than Gurus?

Who can nurture my body, mind, heart and soul soother than Nature?

Who can arrange for my spoken/unspoken needs, smarter than the Universe?

He is my special friend (poem)

When I call him up, I am in stress or joy.

When I speak to him, I am absolutely myself.

When I hear him speak, I simply smile/laugh.

When I hug him in silence, I feel completeness.

Sweet dreams are made of these...(poem)

I did not know, I had so many dreams/wishes/desires. Now that, I am writing it out, I realized, these are the clouds that block me from appreciating what I have.

This morning, I witnessed that I thanked God, for giving me husband who wakes up before 6 am(even though he is night bird), just to get kids ready for school.

Wow, removing the fog (of desires by writing it out as a wish), works wonders.

Here, is the third one, in the sequence of my dreams.

***

He is tickling my bare feet; and both of us are enjoying it.

He is holding me from behind, with his arms arund my waist and his chin, touching my head.

He is sharing all his passwords, be it of email accounts, or bank accounts or financial status of our family.

He is my best friend on facebook; we are both completely comfortable and are proud of each other's uninhibited comments.


He is freely and joyfully playing with our 1.5 year old daughter, by shaking her all around; while crossing the street.

I am feeding him food with my hand, and he is looking into my eyes affecionately (while opening his mouth) and he is picking up food to feed me.


He is cracking jokes at the dinner table with the family, all about funny and dumb he had been; and we are laughing with our head out with a loud ha, ha, ha.

I come down and signal to tell him something important; he pauses his phone conversation, halts all his work to listen to me with all his attention and loving tinkle in his eyes.

He reads my blogs regularly to understand my thoughts more, appreciates them and gives me support as well as feedback to keep writing for it gives me joy and helps me heal; to grow into my loving God-Self.

Victory always follows frustration (poem)

My kids and husband had left,
I thought that I would enjoy,
my awesome breakfast,
silently.

I witnessed, when I finished,
that something within me,
was continuosly,
chatting.

When, I closed my eyes,
I discovered that,
it was my mind,
hopping.

Then, I chose to let go,
of my frustration,
and smiled at,
awareness.

Its all in the experience (poem)

If I say, I love you, then you need to feel it.

If I am joyful, then people must feel it in my singing.

If I enjoy Physics, then the kids need to feel it in their bodies.

If I am content, then the people who see me, need to feel it in my presence.

When I loose the contact,

God, please make me love (poem)

When I am love,
I overcome my mind stuff,
I love the other, completely,
and not judge, what he has become.

When I am love,
I can love him as a mother,
where, I can see him as a child,
and not an adult, being inappropriate.

When I am love,
then I can witness what he is,
in the light of the circumstances,
he has been through, which have crushed him.

When I am love,
I become one with Universal love,
in front of which, my mind surrenders,
so God, turn me into love, for very many moments.

These are some of my wishes....(poem)

A soft voice within me says, release all frustrations creatively as a heart felt wish, and all beautiful memories, without attachment to hold on; for then only there will be space for divine light to shine.

Here is my second attempt this week, after the first one last week, I did feel a lot lighter releasing the mixed bag of memorable moments and smple heart felt wishes.


From, my heart, with pride, I surrender these to my God.
***

My kids are listening to me respectfully.

I witness him, risking his own life, just to save my life.

He understands my silence and I his, unspoken words.

He smiles, when I am happy and I am joyful when he is.

My children, are imbibing the best from both the parents.

I am hugging him to whisper bye, but am unable to let go of my hug.

He is spending all his money earned and save for me to recover from my sickness.

I am crying, when he is in emotional pain; and he is in pain, when I am full of sadness.


We are saying bye in the middle of the parking lot, to leave in our own cars, but just can't stop kissing.

We are both lying on the sofa, with heads on opposite ends, right next to each other, busy reading our favorite book.

I am checking in my luggage to board the plane, but we can't get enough of touching hands, talking and looking into eyes.

He is waiting there to receive me at the airport, with the biggest smile, joyful eyes and arms wide open to welcome me with the hug.

I am sitting in between his legs, and we are both watching and listening to the ocean waves striking the shore, from the big window in our room.

I would love him to support my intentions, concerns and energy towards our kids welfare, both in studies and emotional growth; by recognizing and honoring that in me, first.

I would like to smile at me the first thing in the morning, and when we see, each other in the evening; plus, to put turn off all gadgets himself, for he is looking forward to talking to me (at night, after tucking kids).

Everything is happening as per divine plan (poem)

Yesterday, without any frustrations,
with an overflowing feeling, of thanks,
I could see how God arranges situations,
and all people are puppets under His play.

Today, lying under the tree on my yoga mat,
I heard the birds sing me the perfect melody,
I saw leaves bless me with the perfect shower,
and I could sense the perfection in each moment.

When I am with Krishna....(poem)

I am not fearful around controlling people.

I am not lost interacting with desirous people.

I am lying safe on the grass, where a spider was lying.

I am unaware of comments being passed, by the judgemental people.

Aum Tat Sat (God is the only Truth)

Let desires arise, be honored and released; just like washing dirty clothes (poem)

We are walking hand in hand, talking on our long walk.

We are teasingly singing together doing chores, & on guitar with friends.

He is fully supporting in my work and at home, ignoring the pressure from family.

He is praising about my work, my intentions, my pursuit and my dedication to our children (behind me).

I am feeling joyful, holding his hand, delivering my third child, a baby girl, at the end of all natural labor.

He is honoring my divine connection and my goal to be one with Thee, and supporting me through this confusing journey.

He is lying, and I am lying on top of him, facing him, with one fist on top of the other, we are talking and rubbing our noses in between.

He calls me on the couch, with eyes full of love and touches brimming with pure love. He is expressing his gratitude when I am showering my love.

Each time we look at each other, we thank God in our heart; each time we touch each other or come close, we are anchored on the divine within us.

I am sitting against a tree, he is lying down on the grass close to me, he has put his head into my laps, and I am running my fingers through his hair.

Standing close, he is caressing my hair, running his fingers through my dense hair, caressing my earlobes, and I am cotinuing to hug him closer and still tighter.

I am standing with my back towards him, he gently calls me back to lean onto him (as he stood there leaning against the car); and then he softly whispered, "I am here, for you."

I am lying down on a yoga mat on the grass, and so is he next to me. We rest our elbows on the mat in between us, and hold each other's palms, with our fingers interlaced; and we keep talking, looking up at the sky.

Law of conservation of energy (poem)

While sharing observing Physcics with preschoolers, law of conservation of energy, when they toast their breads, to running around and climbing up down the slide. The following hit me:

***
The total energy is always the same,
but, it can change from one form to another,
say, from standing to walking, dancing or meditating,
and I am the one, who is choosing how I am going to use it.

Along the same lines, in each moment,
the energy within me is fixed but is changing,
I am making a choice mostly helplessly and sometimes wisely,
to fill up each one of my cells with love or incessant complains.

Thank You God for "that" drizzle of love (poem)

Thank You God, for blessing me, with pure love.

Thank You God, for making me feel proud, of the one I love.

Thank You God, for showering me, with those moments of precious love.

Thank You God, for fulfilling me, with that enriching experience, of giving love.

We are all same (poem)

When I acknowledged & honored,
my helplessness, my desires,
my anger, my biggest fear,
and surrendered to God.

It hit me, we are all one & same,
for we have the same feelings,
even though our own triggers,
and needs may be different.

Laws of Reflection (especially dedicated to over 40)

I was talking to an old school friend about my workshops on observing Physics with elementary school kids, when he jokingly said, "You are doing this kids, what do you have to share with us, people over 40?". I smiled, wondering.

But this morning, I woke up with a thought that just as I tell kids (at my library workshops) to hit the ball against the wall, to understand the laws of reflection. Then I ask them, "If you roll out blue ball, will you get a pink or a yellow ball". They (and their parents) wonder why am I asking that. And then, I tell them, when you friend is being mean, you feel like being mean and that keeps on reflecting. For laws of reflection hold good in all domains, whether you can see it happening (like balls) or not (like IR on remote control for TV and power point presentation pens); and they get it that if they need affection from friends, they genuinely need to send out affection, even if the friend is not ready for hugs (by just thinking with affection and smiling towards them, but from heart not from mind). So, also the parents get it, as they mentioned in the feedback.

But, here is a real life example, where I witnessed laws if reflection working, with me in less than 20 minutes:

***
After meditating, with my heart full of love,
I drove towards Costco, to buy myself a juicer,
since I only had to pick that, I didn't pull a cart,
and started walking towards the entrance, on that windy day,
on my way I saw a women struggling with the wind blowing her cart,
and she trying to download her shopping stuff into the trunk of her car,
I merrily, paused, turned towards her, and smilingly offered to hold her cart,
she thanked me, for that much needed simple help, and I moved on saying "God bless you",

I picked up the juicer in that bulky packing and stood in the line to pay,
to my surprise, in the mid-day of weekday, there were 10 people ahead of me with loaded carts,
I chose to smile, even though I had started feeling the weight of the 20 pound juicer on my arms and back,
just then the lady in front of me, turned around towards me, created space in her cart and very affectionately said,
"If you want, you may place the juicer inside my cart, while you are waiting in this very long line to make the payment",
I accepted the offer, began talking to her about her kids and mine, what to juice and what not to and other motherhood/women topics,
Finally, we both paid, left Costco, as if we were great friends, without knowing each others names, or even exchanging email/phone numbers,
When, I placed the juicer inside my car, it hit me that it took less than 20 minutes for the laws of reflection to work, between my act giving and receiving help.

Wow, everything does get reflected back, whether I can see it or not :))

As I think, my world becomes (poem)

If I focus on what I wish to create, thats what I attract,
so I see myself, laughing and singing, with my family members,
and I see myself, realizing all my dreams come true, in my relationship,
plus, I see myself, travelling around world, feeding kids and observing Physics.

Wow, what an inspiring moment (poem)

I saw her pass across the campus,
where in the center we were rejoicing,
laughing with our head out at kids answers,
on the award ceremony of my children's school.

But, behind all that noise, I saw her quietness,
amidst all the crowd, I noticed her walking alone,
beneath all exuberance, I witnessed her contentment,
and in her focus within, I discovered that invisible "joy".

She was walking, as if she had controlled, her sense organs,
She was looking, as if she was with, what she had been seeking,
She was sitting, as if she was happy, where she was watching from,
She was demonstrating, as if she were a turtle, with limbs retrieved.

Hate the sin, not the sinner... (poem)

Hate the expectations, but love the expectant,
Hate the helplessness, but love the helpless,
Hate the desires, but love the desirous,
Hate the fears, but love the fearful,

Hate the hatred, but love the hater,
Hate the anger, but love the angry,
Hate the ego, but love the egoistic,
Hate the sin, but love the sinner.

And I laughed at myself, really hard (poem)

I was on the land line, talking to someone about my work,
just then my cell phone rang, I saw it was a new number,
I let it go into the voice message, and I kept on talking,
but my mind started chatting in turn, without my Ok.

I witnessed, my mind leading me into the following story,
"Oh, it must be that lady, who I had met yesterday,
she had taken my number, and she wanted to meet,
but, how will I meet her today, I am so busy..."

I continued talking on the land line for twenty minutes,
and my mind kept on alluring me further into its story,
till, I finally checked the message in my cell phone,
only to find out that it wasn't that lady calling.

And I laughed at myself, really hard. :))

Everyone is God's child, so is Osama...(poem)

I have been a victim of my circumsatnces,
My heart has been flooded with pain,
My mind is full of random thoughts,
and in darkness, I am revengeful.

Just like me, and some of my very dear people,
many have searched for really deep bondings,
in which, someone can empathize, not judge,
and in Light only, I found that Love.

So, just as we pray, peace for even strangers,
why don't all of us, come together and pray,
for all those who lost dear ones on 9/11,
and include Osama Bin Laden, too?

For, everyone is God's child, so is Osama...

And, why wouldn't all of us, not pray, peace for Obama's soul?
