Tantric Dancer
Tantra is my name; symbolism my game
To serenade you beyond the mind my aim
I have the power to lead you to your goal
For I am the ritualistic dance of your soul
I will lull you to an inner world of nada sutra
To hum on your tongue, I am your mantra
I will open portals to a treasured secret place
Come dance with me beyond time and space
Here, the Fruit of the Goddess is not forbidden
I have the power to reveal all that is hidden
For I am Tantra, the Cosmic Science, the technique
Beyond the Mind, you and I are no more unique
You will no longer see me as a worm holed filled fruit
I am the heavy-laden branch all are about to loot
Once unfit and tasteless for your very good dish
To become oneness with me is now your main wish
So eat me not for the sake of eating but savor me
Become the tasting and sipping in totality
Past and Future will disappear as you let go of the mind.
I am your blissful Presence, all yours, will you be mine?

Goddess Thoughts
By Stacey Bess, Guyana Chronicle
PROFESSIONAL Guyanese accountant, Amy Ramdass, who lives in Canada, recently published a hefty book of poetry.
`Goddess Thoughts: The Rest Are Mere Details’, which was released late last year, is compact with more than 200 easy-to-read lyrical poems and rhyming thoughts on controversial subjects ranging from Big Bang, the Bible, the planets, celestial beings, ancient folklore and mythical gods, to love, family, friendship, nature and healing.
On a brief visit to Guyana during the 2005 Christmas season, Ms. Ramdass spoke with the Sunday Chronicle on her first book – the product of the sheltered life of a river girl.
Ramdass was born and bred at Susannah’s Rust a village, 34 miles up the right bank of the Demerara River, Guyana. Her childhood was serene, her parents over-protective.
Being perennially surrounded by nature during her childhood, Amy said that she was able to engross in deep thinking – “to go deep for answers.”
She sailed high seas and roamed deserts of the written word as she journeyed with numerous authors.
“Much of what I’ve learnt in life is from books, not from people,” Ramdass declared.
She states in the introduction of Goddess Thoughts that she fell in love with the written word at a very tender age mainly due to the entertainment void at Susannah’s Rust.
Poetry became her solace. Her indulgence in the art form ruptured the monotony of academic study.
From childhood she began to pen her own feelings, working mainly during the early morning hours when her thoughts “flow like a river” and she can write her “heart out.”
As she matured, got married, moved to Canada and started a family, her interaction with people improved. Her relations with others boosted her writing.
Although Ramdass believes that her writing ability is a gift, she says, “Just being around people inspires me to write. I see their positives and I want to show them that they have something beautiful inside of them.”
Tragedy also induces her ink on paper talent as it did when her father died in 1988. Prior to his death, Ms. Ramdass had put poetry writing on hold.
She got serious about compiling the book six months ago.
With the title coined, she went after internationally recognized visual artist David Howard Johnson, who sketched a thought-provoking cover design for `Goddess Thoughts: The Rest Are Mere Details’.
The title of her book is inspired by Einstein’s “I want to know God’s thoughts, the rest are mere details.’
And who is the Goddess?
Ramdass answers: “Some believe that she is the divine principle, the feminine aspect of God, while others feel she is nature, the creative Goddess. I also believe that the Goddess is the ultimate power, the supreme mind within each woman. She is wholeness, negative and positive, good and evil, Kali and Durga, black and white, life and death. She is like the sea totally healing yet totally destructive. She is the warrior woman and the peacemaker, the unholy one and the saint.”
Read the poetry!
It resounds with Amy Ramdass’ thoughts and many details.

Goddess Thoughts
By E.A. Gray
Through inordinate hours of hard work and immeasurable sacrifice, Author Amy Ramdass has managed to compile an impressive volume of poems that covers various topics and evokes a wide range of emotions. I am reminded of the words of one of my favorite poets, Henry W. Longfellow:
“The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight
But they while their companions slept
Were toiling upwards in the night.”
With her enviable poetic ability, she offers readers a glimpse of her idyllic childhood at a place known for its verdant pastures and delectable fruits. With much audacity, she leaves us questioning the veracity of Bible stories that we were told as children. She extols the virtues of grandparents and friends, underscores the importance of fatherhood and embraces motherhood and all that it encompasses. Her subtle invitation to stop and observe nature in all its splendor just simply cannot be ignored. Above all, however, are the valuable lessons of life that can be gleaned from some of her poems. One in particular that comes to mind is “The Orphan,” a poem that tugs at the strings of your heart and leaves you with a sinking feeling. The lesson from this very moving poem is this: even when the raging tides of adversity have slapped us around; through Devine intervention, unconditional love from that special someone, and a steadfast determination to succeed, we can rise from the dust and be counted again.
The Goddess in Amy Ramdass shines forth brilliantly in every poem that she has penned,
leaving us with an unquenchable thirst for more, and yet more.
