Hindu Poems

Edge of Sanity

She skates along the edge of sanity.  
The line between disaster and divine.
Heart now tasting the inhumanity, 
without the lonely sip of the sweet wine. 

Digging whilst drowning the depths of darkness, 
rummaging righteousness religiously.
God bleeding sunshine into her starkness,    
pruning the soul hath lost prodigiously. 

Placing the lotus seed into

Premium MemberNovember In Varanasi

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 delight

Clay dija lamps will shine this night
In every corner of

In Sanskrit

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 pleasant ride, though she spoke in bed in Sanskrit

The awesome

Muslim Was Hindu

When hindus purchased africa in 3452 BC,
They gave every acknowledged people a modesting fee,
Add africa to our territory on your maps,
In exchange all prisoners can go there to relax,
The path of exile followed most in the time,
That did not want civil duties,
Africa was punishment and fine,
So it was there a people was formed,
From knowledge around

Hindu Anarchy Coming To India: Canto Ii- Two States Begin Fighting

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 and bringing in caste and
Sect-bred troops set free.

Not one but

Hindu Anarchy Coming To India: Canto I-Farmers Farewell

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
And circumference of
Pigs’ roaming areas big, those only
Near the woods suffer,

But in small states like 'Kerala where
Ham'lets and villages
Are not

Sir Aurobindo - National Internationalism

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 is overcome by One Identity

II
Sri Aurobindo could use Brahman, Lila,

Jatiswar

NEVER give up said the ostrich.  

Common sneers along the  streets.

Come on, arrested emotions makes

the world crashed inside trash.

"Is this what we wish?  What we 
get?  This is what we wish when
we wish to die."

Come on, please.

A cold.  A piece of heart.
A place for the dying to forget.

From many memories

Premium MemberI Love Being Hindu

I am almost too excited to sleep
Today Holi started
The Festival of spring, the end of winter
Celebrating the divine love of Radha Krishna
Triumph of good over evil

We will have a bonfire tonight
Where we will pray that our internal evil is destroyed
Like Holika the sister of the demon king
Who was killed in fire
I love the bonfire! I

Was certainly not so simple
To hold a pose
On tippy-toes
Whilst Shiva handles a limb pull!

Premium MemberHindu Voodoo - With Apologies To Dylan Thomas

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, bitter root, 
Slammed door, rotten fruit, 
Tool shed, chicken shack,

Zero Tolerance

Prophet Abraham took an axe
He smashed the idols
He broke them except the biggest one in size
He hung the axe around his neck
When the people came back
They were shocked to see broken idols
They said who could have done this
Abraham have you done this to our gods?
He replied ask that big one
They said you know idols can't
