My faith is consumed in the warmth of the aarti,
but as a child I was afraid of that fire.

I actually mean it when I say that the idols are hollow,
that the words are meaningless,
and the traditions empty.
I blamed...

Which is the easiest way to make two
Indian states to fight?
One is to throw power, language, water-
Issues on their face.

So you’ll have got two Dravid states
Fighting eternally,
O’er slight and petite things for decades
Meaningless, mundane,

So that your Aryan Empire in the
North will have its way
Of flourishing...

Indus was also a name
add one prefix of “H”
and remove the last “s”
and a Hindu is born
I do not stay near Indus
it is little away
from my rational mind’s 
calculation of distance
it can be near
if i drop my mistaken identity
I may still be a Hindu
even if...

Chin cupped
     on the ancient bone
           of his elbow
he spread five fingers to the world:
and like a cat on zither strings
the hoarse voice of his fathers
issues from his forgotten children:
now he...

A common confrontation between
Man and animals
From the wild, are pigs roaming farm lands
Destroying the crops

Of pöor farmers, it’s indeed a
Problem in Indian states
With forest borders, acute in her
Many smaller states.

In larger states where lands are vast

Pigs’ roaming areas big, those only
Near the woods...

Tell me, my friend, when can I send 
My spirit gently into that good night? 
How many times do I have to die 
Before I get it right? 
Every car crash, train wreck, 
Overdose, misstep, 
Splintered bone, rug burn, 
Danger zone, poisoned cup, 
Open sore,...

The booming sound of Dhak resonated through the air,
The children squealed in utter merriment at the fair---
Flaunting their newly bought ensemble of myriad hue,
Some were draped in saris, mod jeans donned a few.

The little girl roaming the streets, in a soiled frock half-torn,
Regretted sorely why...

I
At home with Shankara & Ramanuja
As with Spinoza, Kant, and Buber
Seventy years on earth, to 1950, heir
To Thought of East, West, 'Father Nature'
Fought for Independent India, from 'Raj'
Taught we must do spiritual evolution
Community and nation are a good start
But dissolve they must, peace past nationalism
Separation...

Advaita’ is Sanskrit for non duality,
Where all of everything is unit of one,
 living or non-living are false reality,
To non-living we pass when life is done

Ignorance is evident in what some seek,
God is not a pedlar for their needs,
Some seek him on a mountain peak,
Some...

In Tibet, the night was cold and she said in Sanskrit:
Over years, in loneliness my heart bled in Sanskrit

All mantras of love have failed in winning her for me
Tell any Tantras to take me ahead in Sanskrit

Behind curtains of temple there was a paradise
Night was...

Varanasi town’s radiance glows vibrant tonight
‘Neath the moonbeams soft autumn flow
It’s the full moon festival of the god’s sacred light:
Dev Deepawali; joyous spirits will glow

The Hindu month of Kartika is finally here
With lotus lakes sparkling bright
Women in stunning bright saris appear
With marigolds and songs of...
