It’s odd to see a playful man in his 80’s in profuse bliss

An embodiment of Vedanta roving around the world

In wonderful harmony with own surrounding

Having every human faculty in superb blend

Responding to questions with exact analogy

He’s making thing clear to all in utmost ease

While living in the subtle field of holistic connectivity

The field behind this baffling world of fragmented reality

 

This is our much revered Sridharanandaji Moharaj

A monk of the famed Ramakrishna-Vivekananda order

Inviting all to follow Vedanta to gaining self-harmony

Frequently traveling the world in a crisscross

From Sydney, Australia to distant parts of the world

He’s spreading the wisdom of proven Vedanta in the west

 

Such selfless souls are the saviors of the society

The walking redeemer of mankind from deep perils

To save the willing souls from extra suffering

By offering deep accord of Vedanta for self-deliverance

That reveals ways to deal with our own universe

Affirming that changing a man’s view changes own reality

Having nothing to do with the outer world per se

Since events flow the way they’ve always been

Only realities differ for differences in a man’s perception

And for this Vedanta has given us the perfect way

 

“We suffer due to our past and present karma” he said

“Since cause-effect link alone rules our world

So, by appropriately modifying our current karma

We can change the course of our very own future”

And to bring on such change we must be mindful

Of each of our thought in every living moment

Using the best skill in yoga to steady own intellect

Thus making the most of our present precious moment
