Best Namaste Poems
Stand down,
The battle is won,
The fight has been fought,
You are neither daughter nor son,
For you are the star, the moon, the sky in which reality hangs,
Do not fight to define yourself,
You are the God you seek,
Not a reflection, not a shadow,
God knows you as God,
It is time you stop pretending to be anything and be,
The illusion of reality will melt away,
Only after you give up on figuring it out,
The universe will become your world as it always has been,
All that separates you from anything else will cease,
You will greet everyone as God just as you know yourself to be,
Stand down, wake up, dream on,
Reality is the illusion and all that is not is reality,
Breathe in and fill with the love that is all.
Namaste.
Random strangers crossing in the street
Namaste she said to me
Hands joined as she nodded her head
Engaging my heart without deviating
Arrow straight to my soul
Stood out unlike anyone else
I could tell her heart was pure
She was coming from a place of peace
Her soul untroubled and serene
Her eyes vast expanses of gentleness
That was it
Her gift
Namaste
And she walked away

Welcome to my humble home
The God in me salu- tes the God in you
Peace in the univ- erse We are One
At end of this day of gratitude
for Being together,
Earth is Host
or Holy Ghost
or God or Goddess,
and we, Earth's Tribes,
Her mutually parasitic-subsidiary Progeny.
At dawn's revolutionary beginning
of this new cultural thanks
giving-it-forward day,
we,
all DNA/RNA syntax Tribes
co-worshiping our timeless Time
of Earth's Co-Communicants,
learn to co-operatively optimize
our mutually parasitic health
as our pilgrimage toward (0)Mega Point
of eco-consciously co-creating
conscientific Earth
as our Eco-Hosting Universe.
Earth as Gaia,
Solar/Lunar Progenitive Namaste System
as Sun Father,
and Mother Earth primally co-relating,
cast about RNA regenerative seeds,
ripe embryos,
decomposing and re-emerging
our PolyCulturally Indigenous Received View,
our ExeGenetic Business As Usual
fertile climate.
Religions,
and other cultural expressions,
articulating facets of this natural beauty,
co-gravitational nutrition,
balancing health harmonic octaves and fractals
of eco-systemic integrity,
are each enlightening commentary
on Earth's Exegetical Gospel of Eco-Logos Wisdom.
In ReGenesis,
are Solar Systemic Heaven
with Earth,
and Earth was without co-operative form
and dissonantly void of healthy value.
And, evening's Tree of Dream Death as eviL
and morning's Tree of Live as Polyculturally BeLived,
were Time's first self/other
longing and belonging revolution
optimizing
yet another Great Namaste Day.
Namaste.
Your love shows
In your words.
Namaste.
Differences shouldn’t
Be walls, but bridges.
Namaste.
Jazzy, brash—and yet beneath
The layers I find something.
Namaste.
Teaching what I learnt
From heroes and
heroines-
The known and
unknown
I owe each each of you
hugs
Which I know are not
worthless.
-Haiku-
Namaste my gems-
Smashing spread and
light my pen.
Shalom to you all.
If you travel to Mumbai or New Delhi,
there is one thing to show them you are friendly.
If you are planning to stay there a month or a few days,
familiarize yourself with the all-important phrase.
When you greet the natives, all you have to say
is the simple and pleasant word “namaste”.

kept intact, finessed
fixedly, exactly, deftly crosshairs
with trace excrement carefully erased

"Namaste" is a conventional Hindu expression
upon meeting or parting a person or persons
used generally by the speaker usually while holding
the palms together vertically in front of the bosom.
This expression I would have never known
if not for the comments left by Nancy Jones.
. In
. Love
& Lust
IT swells
Configures
IT consumes
IT envelopesall
Like flaming airs
Reclaiming voids
IT declares intent
Now the Ego’ lost
Now ‘i’ surrenders
Connecting voids
Swelling of will, in
. contiguous flow ; acting in now
IT is Consciousness
IT is the. ONE that acts
IT is also THE inspiration
IT can possess OR can transform.
IT also envelops IT permeates forms
One that preludes' IS. formless/ with form
There a desire to Be. also to conquer & tame
There, effort to Know. also emotion, to proclaim
IT is the complete Play; soaked in; of the very same
.
To experience, is to Be, is JNAN. TANTRA is to relate; to relish
. JNAN says :
"Know that wherever you are, it is the very same Self"
.
....In theosophy of two Men; Buddha and Shankara
.....disparaging viewpoints; finally met on a ground
...........as in joining of two hands; left and right
...................It was the field of TANTRA

Here is the yeast of thought that like the dough,
though it become suppressed, is rising still
within two souls whose vision is just one,
then beaten once again becomes the bread,
the mounting God,
the sinews shared,
the death of self,
the breath of life.
