Maitreyi Female Philosopher of India

Maitreyi had an inner knowing
few people have; it gave her a confidence
She was not afraid to express her opinion

Driven by love and intellect,
she was the epitome of ancient Indian’s
intellectual woman

People listened to her truth
because it was pure,
resonating in their atman

She had an aura about her
that elicited no questions on inquiry
People instinctively knew she was blessed

Her confidence showed through
everything she said and did.
She is revered to this day in New Delhi
