The Message of Anu Gita: A Poem

Image
  The Message of Anu Gita:  A Poem The Anu Gita's for hearts to mend, After shadows, and battle's end. Let's cast aside the showy grace, The rigid rules, the outer place. For true peace, a gentle art, Starts with us, each beating heart. Own your deeds, your choices made, Let truth's bright light, no longer fade. To heal the scars, the pain so deep, Master senses, secrets keep. Non-violence, a guiding star, Forgiveness heals, no matter how far. Greed and anger, ego's sway, We must defeat, and turn away. For social good, and virtues bright, To build again, with all our might. With empathy, let kindness flow, And justice help our spirits grow. A new foundation, strong and true, For me, for them, for all of you.

Beware of commerce of conflicts and wars: A poem

Image
  Beware of commerce of conflicts and wars: A poem War weapons fly, a market so grand, From consumers' goods, to war's command. Gold flows to weapons, a profitable trade, Where nations mobilize, fortunes are made. Taxes are gathered, for futures unseen, Young lives are traded, a brutal machine. The rich grow richer, the poor fade away, While rockets keep roaring, at the close of the day. It's a business of battle, a carefully spun lie, To take from the many, beneath a blood-red sky. The powerful profit, war-economies boom, Insane commerce of war, tax-payers' survival gloom.

The Illusion Veiled Samsara is Maya, Reveals the Gita: A Poem

Image
  The Illusion Veiled Samsara is Maya, Reveals the Gita: A Poem The world we see, a passing dream, Is Maya's veil, it would seem. Birth and death, a turning wheel, Samsara's chain, how does it feel? This world is false, a trick of sight, It hides the soul, bathed in pure light. We chase the things that fade away, Forgetting truth, day by day. A tree turned upside down, they say, Its roots to heaven, where God holds sway. Its branches reach to earth below, Where senses play and troubles grow. But if we trust, and let go fear, The Lord can help us draw him near. We break the bonds, the Maya's hold, A story ancient, bravely told. Then Samsara's spin, it starts to cease, The soul finds freedom, finds its peace. No more rebirth, no more the fray, One with the Divine, forever and a day.

Making Every On-Going Action a Sacred Act: The Gita Inspired Couplets

Image
Making Every On-Going Action a Sacred Act:  The Gita Inspired Couplets   In quiet thought, the soul's true essence gleams, With Atman bright, it fuels our waking dreams. Each deed we do, a prayer in silent mode, Life's busy path, a sacred, holy road. With soulful heart, our work becomes a shrine, Detached we act, our spirit's light divine. To the Divine, our focused minds we lend, Each action then, to freedom starts to wend. Our duty done, with soul, our purpose clear, Swadharma's call, we answer, banishing fear. In love's pure gaze, let every moment be, A sacred act, eternally set free.

Towards ever wars-torn life: Limericks

Image
  Towards ever wars-torn life: Limericks The weapons we made to defend, Brought arms sales that never will end. While wars are now traded, And wealth is paraded, By tycoons who pull every thread. They tariff, recess, and mandate, With bio-war viruses made. The rich and the clever, Grow richer than ever, While leaving the masses dismayed. Now info-war, with no missile or gun, But with whispers and lies, cleverly spun. Reputations they'd break, For advantage they'd take, With designed narrative  battles're won

Demean and under-estimate not teachers and students : A Poem

Image
Demean and under-estimate not teachers and students : A Poem A screen, a board, a voice so clear, No teacher's worth is naught, my dear. Not a broken shell, not even dust, Their knowledge shared, a sacred trust. Though wealth may boast and power loom, Gen-Z students can break the gloom. With teaching's light, a guiding hand, Together strong, they take command. The tables turn, the balance shifts, With wisdom's power, priceless gifts. No teacher's worth is ever gone, Their legacy forever strong.
