( 9:00-9:45 in front of Saarada )

 

 

namastae !

 

Around 8:45pm this evening after finishing my meals I cut a

Mango fruit and as I was about to eat a slice of it,she suddenly

asked from my heart "what about me ? " in telugu (naa maaTaemiTi ? ).

I just laughed and took that slice , went into the room where I keep

her picture and offered it . Then sat down to pray for couple of

minutes since I was there any way. As I knelt down praying suddenly

poem # 4 gushed out. understanding why she summoned me :-) with the

pretext of that mango slice, I grabbed a paper and pen quickly . Rest

of the poems came one by one ..though not in the same order . I just

arranged them the best way I could to share with you..Even though

all my poems come out in a personal way,in simple words, that is the

only contribution I can make to this list..I hope you forgive me for

the inadequacy of the words as well as the knowledge.....

 

Approximate English meaning of the above poems,(all of them written

in "kamdam", a meter similar to "aarya" in sanskriT..

 

1.

 

As you are the one who asked me to come here,give me with love , the

sweet words , so the pen can start and I can share them with others

on the earth on your name.

 

2.

 

Even to write one poem , not knowing the right words ,I am getting

frustrated . Then how would it be possible for me to praise you in

sloekaas to make you happy ?

 

3.

 

you are the mother who gives me the words. With out you talking to me

in my heart and giving the words, what do I write ? With out studying

the scriptures/ saastraas, is it possible to prabha to praise the

goddess of education ?

 

4.

 

I am the child who prays to you thinking of you( one with a soft skin

as that of a flower ) as the teacher as well as the goddess .As a

boon, as an eternal entity, as the goddess Please stay in my heart

for ever talking to me .

 

5.

 

O Mother ! you laughed , asking me "what about me?" as I was cutting

the mango fruit . (But) I would say any time on this earth ,your

words are sweeter than that mango fruit.

 

6.

 

As the smile on your lips chases away my sorrows/gloom and make it a

festive day, your words .. the words which spill the honey/nectar are

so sweet,sweet ..sweeter..and tastier.

 

7.

 

Now, if you give me permission kindly to share them on the earth, the

poems which you gave me as a boon ,as my hands do the typing..I will

place them on the net to let them know how you play :-)

 

8.

 

To the mother who has shown mercy , as I don't have any proper gift

nearby to offer , I am just folding my arms ( giving you praNaam )

with great devotion..

 

 

with best regards to all of you,

You are a mahAtmA. To how many God will directly remind about

offering what we eat to HER before we consume it. In Sai Sat Charita,

Shirdi Baba tells his devotees to remember him before they eat

anything and offer it to him mentally.

 

Whatever we eat (consume with any of the sense agencies not just

mouth) if we offer to God before we eat, things will become better

and simple. In Gospel of ShrI Ramakrishna, to devotee addicted to

alcohol, Ramakrishna asks him offer it to kALi mentally before

consuming and promises that SHE will remove his addiction and cure

him.

I try my best to remember these days to offer what I eat mentally

before I eat, needless to say I forget more often that I remember.

Such is the level of ingratitude in fools like me who do not remember

to very source that provides the nourishment. Traditionally also ( I

read this in a book on nityAhnikam) we are required to chant God's

name mentally while we eat.

 

 

Thank you. It is a privilege to be in touch with someone who can

listen to God. I think SHE will be willing to talk to all, but how

many have opened themselves to listen.

namastae!

 

Thank you for not calling me a crazy woman :-).That's what

many people think of me :-)

She does that all the time. ( reminding /demanding ).I am just one of

her ordinary kids,probably who needed her most :-). Mothers always

take care of their weak children first .Don't they ? she asked for my

heart once,which I gave willingly. In return she stays there in that

heart talking to me and taking care of me in her own way . So far she

has been showing that love with poems and hugs :-)She knows I don't

ask for moon or sun or anything else.what I ask for is her love and

demonstration of it.she has been responding to those requests . If

she doesn't I wont leave her alone either. I keep bugging her until

she says yes . She pretends as if she didn't listen to test me some

times, some times to play with me . Some times teases ,some times

demands..what ever ,it has been fun and most gratifying part of my

life having her so far. My only request to her is one day, at least

in one of the latter lives I should be full of knowledge and devotion

to be a true daughter of Saarada in every sense. That's what I pray

for constantly..and earnestly....

 

I just want to share what happened this evening... as I was

coming from work , I was trying to recite couple of sloekaas ( which

I got long time ago from sarsvatee upanishat thanks to sunderji ) .

Throat sounded hoarse. So jokingly I said to her singing "

savarimcavae talli svarapaeTika ,praNutimcagaa ninnu padyaalato " (

Mom ! would you please rub my voice box gently so that I can sing

your praises with the poems. :-) ) She didn't ,but immediately a line

started "sarasa samgeeta dhunee, saahitee ganee, parama paavanee ,

Saaradaa dhvani " I said to my self WOW ! Line stopped . I didn't

know what I was supposed to do with that one line . I waited for

couple of more minutes to see whether she gives any thing else.

Nothing. I reached home by that time. I told her " I am not going to

be satisfied with that one line."Let the words flow." I was willing

to sit in the car until she does. Once in a while I become adamamt :-

) She knew what I was thinking ..She started the flow.. and made me

sit in the car from 6:30 to 9:00PM on the driveway pouring the words

in the form of prose..... I can't translate that but essence was ...

Why would I ask for any thing else in the world when I have Goddess

Saarada herself in my heart.? I was not saying that with pride .

There are millions and billions of her kids and all of you are

blessed with so much knowledge,intelligence and other riches..all

from her. Instead of giving that kind of love ,knowing my needs ,she

chose this way with me .That's all.And she brought me into the

company of so many learned and devoted people like this so that I can

learn and progress step by step to wards my goal. I am always

thankful to her and all of you who are helping me on that path.

 

she shows her love on each and every one of her kids in an unique

way. I don't ask for riches or fame or any thing else . If she talks

to me and keep me company that is fine.

 

with regards,

suprabha
