At your lotus feet:
At your lotus feet flower drinking
Little bee I am;
Hey gurudeva,you to
my self
Honey of
madhu(spring,sweet) month!
Variety of lotuses,by wasteful tiredness
Struggled to eternal
treasure of satisfaction:
By thirst chest has boiled
You appeared (showd body) at end!
………………………end…………………………
Hope of devotee:
In sky of my chest
Dhruva star you
existing
What if path is missed?
I will not miss direction
In journey of life!
Goal will not be missed
At end all empty
hands!
All will be got
When faith is filled
In chest vessel.
……………………end…………………………….
Sharanu(surrender):
So far you have held hand
and made to walk
At least now don’t
leave my hand.
Like that day
thinking me as child today also
Never without leaving hand
protect ,guru!
Disinterest on one side,showing it’s greatness
is calling with stretched hand
beauty on one
side,emiting it’s fascination
is attracting
stretching body.
Freedom on one side,sweetness on one side
I am in between on
missed path.
Shall I believe in liberation ?shall I embrace maya?
Known you send me
out!
So far you have
held hand and made to walk
At least now don’t
leave my hand.
Like that day
thinking me as child today also
Never without leaving hand
protect ,guru!
………………………………………..end ………………………
Inner voice:
One day or other you will leave all;
In one chest in my mind to my chest you will come!
Hundreds of
emotions,hundreds of dresses
Anger and joys all reaching end.
In garden of life
flower group brightness
Becoming dull (blur) death coming knocking door;
Today your eye attracting all eyes
Today red lips calling cheaks,
Today’s desire of fame ,today’s great expectations
On that day to you
all only zeros.
On that day remembering only
in your chest (heart)
River of light flows,washing away dark;
Whole world slips,love appears
Flood of life flows believing me only.
………………………………end…………………….
Masulaagi= dull,dusky,blur.
…………………………………………………………………………………
Grace:
No hurry to me,again no boredom;
Even if there is pain,you have not come early
No anger, no negligence ;
Will wait till you
come to chest!
No end to my chest’s expecting eye
Even though tears filling ,vibrating
in thought no smoke no touch of enemity
will wait till you
come to my chest!
Without leaving country even a little wandering all time
Playing all games,that can be done
played.
Body drying up
bored,,you failing feeling enough
With anxiety struggling till coming
Will wait till you
come to my chest!
………………………………..end………………………………

Love is like grass and fire;
Suddenly burning to ashes,barren!
Fullness of cheek,may fade
bright of eye may get spoiled
may dry red of lip
then love is mere illusion!
Leafless dry trees
Like bone nest of shadow
My love is mere lust
Don’t worry further.

Let boil our lust

FOREST FLOWER:
Blosomed this flower, for your sake hari;
Come quickly receive
lord lord.
Blossomed in day and night,rain and sunlight
known by Vedas,to join your feet
Departed from all joys for you
Garuda gamana has graced you wear!
There may be having
shining smell
No beauty of being
loved by world;
Inspite of not having
pride of fineness(beauty)
speciality
Wealth wearer,you
wear this by kindness!
No beauty of champaka,no fragrance of kethaki
No greatness of
padari sweetness!
No melodius show off
even a little,in spite of madhava
To protect this wear
in neck garland.

Mind-heart(by poet bardilan):
Thousand eyes to night

No light to life.

Snow beads recreate in green there
Pouring water of song
Birds flock enjoys there
Air plays play there!
Forgets existence
only in union
Where sad and asad(existence and non existence) unite
Knowledge is in

Plays; totality there
Enjoys spilling eternal

You yourself will come as boon:
Which prize you will give to me?
To get tired for you everyday!
To all those who try for
consciousness every day
Sarasvathi has given fame joy.
Than to those who are struggling for money(rich,wealth)
continuously
Has given boundless money!
Irritating enemies in
warfield and won
Has given earth richness,pride enjoyment!
Requesting daily to
those who do land work
To them not given joy has graced joy to me!
Rich,saraswathi,earth lasses all of them
Give only boon except themselves;
God,to me who is desiring for you only
You won’t give boon ,you will grace as boon
yourself!
