Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Namah Shivayah, I recently opened up a : "Offerings at Her Feet" devoted to the bhakti poets and poetry to the Divine Mother (our Amma). I hope any here who are lovers of the bhakti poets and the Divine Mother will join. Offerings_At_Her_Feet OFFERINGS AT HER FEET: Words from the heart on the path of love, devotion, longing and surrender. Exploring bhakti poets throughout history, including the works of Rumi, Hafiz, Kabir, Ramprasad, Mirabai, Hildegard Van Bingen and others, including song lyrics. Share your own work and read the inspired works of others. Exploring the difficulty of translating the spiritual experience into words and the magnetic pull towards expressing that sweet longing in words. Sufi poetry, the ecstatic poets, automatic writing and more. The primary focus of this group is on poetry to the Divine Mother in her many forms and the path of bhakti as expressed through devotional poetry to God, irrespective of gender, though most of the focus will be on the Divine Mother aspect. This forum is for those who long for God, and in that longing, find God to be the muse itself. "A woman and her young daughter were destitute and traveling to another country where they hoped to find a new life. Three men stole them while they were camping. They were brought to a city and sold as slaves; each to a different owner. They were given one minute more together, before their fates became unknown. My soul clings to God like that, the way they held each other." -- Mirabai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
