From poetry collection’kolalu’:

To where further?:

From beginning not knowing first

From  beginning dark’s  stomach

Appeared and came.

Whose desire I don’t know

Don’t know why and where,

I flow forward!

Sleeping in stones and soils

Getting  tired in jada(achethana,non living) deep sleep

Epochs have passed!

Seing dream in plants

Eating birth life death

Kalpas  went(passed)!

Again knowing  body   returning

Appearing ,pitying  like animals

Tired very much.

Today in human birth

Have come singing!

to where  next(further)?

…………………………………end……………………………….

The words which you wishpered on that day

Today also sounding in ears.

On that day vision which you gave in forest

Even today, has filled up eyes.

I heard harsh words

But they won’t exceed wishper words;

I saw  dresses of grandures

But they did not overcome(succeed) vision(darshana)!

Only heard in word- your wishper!

Only saw in world-your vision !

talks of remaining are   : words of mouthless!

Remaining visions: vision of blinds.

…………………………..end…………………………………..

To tell poor shy very much god:

To tell poor,I shy very much god

You are king of forest when in heart

Have granted  happiness which you don’t have

the joy which you don’t have is in me!

No bondage of your liberation,hey god

Liberation of my bondage(pasha) you don’t have!

No joy of wandering in maya to you ,I have

‘lord of maya come protect” like this

Where is to you joy of    telling  opening mouth

  To see your existence is sorrowful to me.

No  attribute(saguna) joy;you are not that not this

My life is “nethi !nethi!”(not this not this)

You have no safety(protection) by philosophers;

To me no fear of those people.!

In severe dark:

In severe dark,wearing black   cloud

Wearing bangles of lightning  tejas (brightness)

Keeping drum (thambate)of of bhyrava  in thunder

Come,awoke me,mother-hey   forceful(javana)mother.

In lightning of bangle,remove eye  jadathana(non livingness,achethana)

Spoil sleep of ear by thunder;

In black cloud   fearful   relieve chest fear;

come awoke me,mother-hey young mother.

Did not open eyes in light of arathi

ear did not rise hearing flute sound

by seing  statue did not become stone

come awoke me,mother-hey  fast mother

Place which poets  have seen!

Where is the town which I have to join

scholars knowing,all being seen

town existing everywhere!

There is town which I have to join!

Existing every where town!

My desire:

In soundless (silent) green   wear in malnad forests

Tones come along with  flute of cattle carrier(looker)

There festival of rich kannada poetries festival

Give sweet meals daily to me.

 Though flied in sky sliping in earth

Let there be a friend who is rasika(interested)

In evening with with us wandering with waste talk

Thimma who has become gopala be there!

 Leaving life when I vanish and go beyond

Let all be knowing what is my desire:

When heaven is within let there  be heaven for me

When here is within  him,let there be ell

Today’s god:

Push away all hundred gods

Bharathambe (mother) is   ggodess today come

Let us worship!

From centuries worshiped only jada stone

Protected by  pouring milk!

Prayed sunlight,rain,air,fire all

By woshping   dasas got slavery!

Those who are inside temple in  warmth closing eyes

Have fattened by sucking  blood of  devotees

Beating bells and metal drums(jagate),holding neck

Push them to bottom of sea   speaking by cone(shankha)!

Many gods are sleeping

Have fallen  as stone few;

Forgeting   in sterility  all man power(pourusha)

Existing as though dead  still remaining  death loss

Their   temple  got spoiled;their  speech died

To us who believed them we got fallen(state)!

In future worshiping her getting power

One century,we shall win in one day!

In front of dead stones weeping crying is enough

Should call jeevadatha(life giver) is to be called  today

To stone statuecarrying knit artistic    blanket     

Put to mother who is degenerating (paining) in winter and rain.

Bharathi is tpday to us life  godess

She is universal form,universe faced!

All our fields are  our mother’s parts(organs)

In our freedom only,our mother  joyful.

Today or tomorrow  slave(dasa) should become   god(lord)

Rise today only,if told tomorrow false(hoku)!

We ourselves are god! Bharatha is heaven!

Bharathamba    herself  is our godess ,mother!

Self intrest (athma shraddhhe):

What if how many god’s you believe

Without believing you in yourself even a little?

What if ten thousand people are around

To mind killing who will obstruct?

To kill others sword,axe,thomara(long knife) are needed

 A small needle is enough  to kill oneself!

By sincerety only sun standing  in sky area

Has got power of  holding hundred words

Sincerity(interest)  crores of gods are  our attenders!

Sinirity is  heaven,insincerity is hell

Man is god,man is narayana;

To our world  we ourselves s  incomparable wnder!

All Christ and buddhas  are in ocean of ‘ahamasmi’

Dark night:

Storm is blowing,strong rain is raining

Above and above monsoon cloud is collecting

Smearing deep dark to eyes ;thunderbolt  exploding

Throwing lightning world is vibrating.;flood rising

River  rising  is cutting (carrying away)humans.

Is fearing man’s chest   faithless(without belief)

Every where is heard hakara.the ghost of revolution 

has spread hairs  madly rotating  spillimg bhima shadow.

o where?where is peace sun?did he set?

Will he never rise?this black night

Will it not end?filling in human heart

By mud only will not again  lotuses reappear?

Mind don’t worry in despair!in churning

Of ocean  poison has  born today!

appears in future amrutha!day

comes clearing black night.

Rises to sky from forest:

Thirst of requests.

Feeds peace to revolution.

Wheather states remain or vanish

Let all soldiers attack

Won’t leave sowing ploughing

Lived  our rich of civilization

Gives food to world

Without desiring for name without pulling to  overjoy
