Dear Sahridayas,

 

Sriman Sadagopan's explanation of the grace of Periya Piratti and

Peiyaazwaar's verses inspired me so much that I wish to share my inadequate

attempts at writing to explain the inexplicable..

 

Ma, My Goddess!

 

Ma! Where art Thou, Ma?- I cry;

As my tears mingle with the ocean

in which Thy heart lies with the Lord,

consecrating waters of life’s passion.

 

Ma! Can Thou hear me, Ma?- I shout;

As I pull and pluck Thy veena strings,

Thy cosmic song- the mirth it brings

wells my space with joyous springs.

 

Ma! Can Thou see me, Ma?-I plead;

As I grope and grieve for Thine eyes,

Thy vision turns into pure Love light

And Lo! a thousand eyes shine so bright.

 

Ma! Can Thou bless me, Ma?-I whisper;

As I seek Thy heart and pour my Soul,

Thy vajra breeze whiffs past in brief,

Did I hear Thee say,"Thou art my heart?!"

 

Love unbounded, Self unmasked Oh Ma!,

makes Thee a requirement, not a sentiment!.

Thy immortal silence and immanent presence,

Transform my transience into transcendence.

 

Adiyen dasi
