Notes About The Poem

Sketch credit: SR Mehta downloaded from internet

Notes:

Ardhnarishwar is a Sanskrit word meaning half man, half woman. It has to do with polarity balance within our mind-body.

Pranic ... to do with prana, another Sanskrit term meaning life-force, the force that keeps us alive.

Five sheaths of consciousness - the visible form is material, other subtler layers are Prana or energy (life force), lower and higher minds/emotions and bliss sheath.

Ardhnarishwar

Ardhnarishwar, Sanskrit word, little known
Male and female poles, within our form sown
One aspect active, the other dormant
Just as we are partially sentient
Seeds of head-heart balance, yet to be grown

In silence, we all feel magnetism warm
Five sheaths of consciousness adorn our form
Material, pranic, two minds and bliss
When aligned, manifests divine caress
Pulsating within, as a benign storm

The truth is indeed, stranger than fiction
Garnered easily, through meditation 
If we choose to let go, we may get to
Truth of Gods breath, which within us renews
Divine union birthing bliss elation

We see around, sacred geometry
Ardhnarishwar; our form in harmony

Edward Ibeh May 6, 2021 at 4:12 PM Loved this wonderful write, Seeker:-) I've started learning Sanskrit words and I'm rather fascinated with them; they roll off the tongue quite nicely! Unseeking Seeker May 6, 2021 at 6:29 PM Happy you enjoyed Edward! The actuality of this state of being, has been experienced by someone I know, in lived reality!

Victor Buhagiar May 1, 2021 at 11:27 PM You certainly surprised the reader with a great title. Hope it doesn't discourage the reader. Unseeking Seeker May 1, 2021 at 11:41 PM information is available on the net, Wikipedia, tantric scriptures (krama mudra) ... it has to do with kundalini rise, polarity balance, descent to heart, where union takes place, bestowing bliss in permanence.
