Ecstatic Poetry

 

Is the Bilva tree in bloom?
I'll run by Shanti's garden
and gather moist leaves 
in the silk folds of my sari 
my Sai Bholenath
Lord of the Snows
loves the three eyed foliage
 
I heard him singing last night 
as He held me in the 
softness of a dream, 
in the palm of His hand, 
starlight exploding around us
 
"Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva
Yanaradha...
 
Chant the name of Shiva 
it will remove all your worries
 
How shameless of you,
O mind! Wandering as a 
vagabond around the world
 
"Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva
Yanaradha...
 
Chant the name of Shiva 
it will remove all your worries"

 Reviews of "Red Tripundra-16"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on April 23, 2023
I watched the video with interest. Your poem applauds the technique used by the guru. In almost all religions, repetition and chanting is used to provide a rather meditative mood that helps one relieve stress in life. Chanting can put people in hypnotic trances that they find quite refreshing and beautiful in their difficult lives.

I do not recommend anyone getting swept up in cults like this, regardless of how wonderful they may seem. At the heart of almost every religion in the world are money grabbing fakirs.
