LEARNING IS LIFE

  LONGING LOVE AND SURRENDER: A POEM INSPIRED BY BHAKTI POET SURDAS The Longing Love and Surrender Path to Liberation is a poem inspired by Sur Sagar by Sant Surdas on the Occasion of his Jayanti in 2026 (see inset visual) POEM: LONGING LOVE AND SURRENDER No temple bells nor sacred script required, Nor clever words of academic lore, By Prem Bhakti is the heart inspired, To knock upon the deep, eternal door. No caste restricts the path to Shyam’s own side, A simple love is all He asks to see, With soul surrendered and all earthly pride Dispelled, to find Him in complete unity. A detached longing, passionate and sweet, With world and ego rendered fully still, ‘I offer all at Madhava’s lotus feet, And lose myself within His holy will.’ No formal rite can bring the bliss I prove, Than drowning in the nectar of His love.

  Revive Self-Sustaining Eco-System To Thrive: A Poem,  Special on Mother Earth Day Our world depends on every living thread, From deep green woods to oceans’ coral bed. To keep the pulse of life within our hand, We must restore and heal our weary land. Wake up, dear ones, before it's late, Change your ways, before an ill fate From hearts and hands, a loving deed, For Mother Earth, in her great need. When ecosystems thrive, the earth blooms green, A balanced world, both healthy and serene. With cleaner air and water, spirits rise, Joy blooms in nature’s happy, peaceful skies.

 Lord Parshurama's Message for Soulful Living on War Footing Jayanti Poem Stand tall for what is right, Dharma's flame, a guiding light. Fear no shadow, face the day, Courage lights the righteous way. Be just in thought, and deed, and word, Let fairness always be preferred. The weak, defend with all your might, Empower them, with truth and light. Hold fast to truth, the soul's deep call, Eternal spirit binds us all.  Lord Parshuram's words, a  warrior's plea, Live dharma, strong and free.

  Main Teachings of The Ashtavakra Gita  in Couplets Deem you're not flesh, thought, action's hand, The Atman dwells, unbound, in every land. But deeper still, a well of purest light, A consciousness both endless and so bright. Let go the grip of "I," the ego's claim, The witness watching, untouched by the flame, Embrace the truth that whispers in the soul, Beyond duality's relentless toll. The Self within, a silent light, Just witness world, with all your might. Detach from worldy gain and fear, Keep consciousness, forever clear. This freedom waits, a presence ever near, Abandon self, release all holding dear, The wise already know, with knowing eyes, "I am already free," where truth now lies. For liberty resides in this sweet breath. That conquers fear, and whispers, "Conquer death."

 Ashtavakra Quote INSPIRED COUPLETS What's done is done, a flowing stream, Achieved is dust, a fading dream. Attachment binds, a heavy chain, And suffering follows, like sun and rain. Success may gleam, a shining prize, But worldly things, are slow-disguised lies. Let go the grip, release the hold, Live detached, as we are told. Pure awareness, clear and bright, Beyond the body, sense, and mind's flight. Just being there, a silent grace, In emptiness, we find our place.

  Narcissist: A free verse A mirror smiles back, reflecting a god. Every flaw a brushstroke of unique divinity. He spins narratives, threads of blame tossed outwards, away, always away, from the perfect reflection. Applause unnecessary, unworthy even, of a maestro conducting his own symphony.
