eternal

whats new gets old
whats old, makes way for new
at some point every thing was new
at some point every thing will be old
the game of time
played in your mind
never lets you see
the eternal

bliss

seed of breath
sown prayerfullly
watered by tears
guarded by awareness
finally flowered
bliss unfolded

O Arjuna Be a Yogi !

तपस्विभ्योऽधिको योगी ज्ञानिभ्योऽपि मतोऽधिकः ।
कर्मिभ्यश्चाधिको योगी तस्माद्योगी भवार्जुन ॥६- ४६॥

mangal karani

मंगल करनि कलि मल हरनि तुलसी कथा रघुनाथ की ॥
गति कूर कबिता सरित की ज्यों सरित पावन पाथ की ॥
प्रभु सुजस संगति भनिति भलि होइहि सुजन मन भावनी ॥
भव अंग भूति मसान की सुमिरत सुहावनि पावनी ॥

drops

drop from your ocean fell on my head
and drops rolled down from my eyes
as the drops slid on my cheek
i dropped everything
and i realized i was holding you
the game of drop finally caught on

tagore

Time is endless in your hands, my infinite Being.
There is none to count your minutes.
Days and nights pass and ages bloom and fade like flowers.
You know how to wait.
Your centuries follow each other perfecting a small wild flower.
We have no time to lose, and having no time we must scramble for our chances.
We are too poor to be late.
And so it is that time goes by while I give it to every querulous man who claims it, and your altar is empty of all offerings to the last.
At the end of the day, I hasten in fear lest your gate be shut;
But I find that yet there is time.

var veena

raag mohanam has beautiful kriti by appaya dikshitar
known as var veena

वर वीणा मृदु पाणी वर रुह लोचन राणी
सुरुचिर बम्भर वेणी सुरनुत कल्याणी
निरुपम शुभ गुण लोल निरतिशय प्रद शीला
वरदाप्रिय रंगनायक वांचित फल दायकि
सरसिजसन जननी जय जय जय
