"MATA DARSHAN": A short ode to Maa Kali

In a dream,

Maa said to me: "Come my child, towards Me!"

The spirit flew and came into Your abode

All was pitch black, and I came looking for You

Until I saw a Flame burning fiercely in the midst of the darkness "Come, my child, I am the Flame. I desire to let you be consumed!"

Like a moth enamored by the scintillation, This Jiva threw itself in the midst of the pyre. Everything crumbled into ashes, Pulverized by that ravening Fire. None was left, Save Your eyes which twinkled in the bosom of the Void.

"You are watched", said Maa "I have watched", said Maa "And I will continually watch You!" said Maa.

Exploring the Divine: The Practice of Devi Upasna

In the vast landscape of Hindu spirituality, Devi Upasna holds a special place. Devi, meaning “Goddess” or “Divine Mother,” represents the feminine cosmic energy, often personified as various goddesses like Durga, Kali, Lakshmi, Saraswati, and many more. Devi Upasna, or the worship of the Goddess, is a profound spiritual practice that enables individuals to connect with the divine feminine and…

Caturāvṛtti Tarpaṇam

my Lord,

melt me on the betelnut leaf

show me that i am rough on the surface

but soft all the way through

my rugged edges,

my delusions of mass

my convictions of being,

my frights of flow

in the melding of haldi

and sanctified water,

apaḥ sips my contractions

pours of holy water,

my fissures dissolve into You

fingertips adorned in yellow hue

and moist eyes of velvet,

i throw my head back and gasp

𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝓂𝓊𝓈𝓉 𝒷𝑒 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒

Colours of Vaani

The sound of gentle anklets tinkled joyously in the ears of Brahma, who was in deep thought. The very feel of the sound gave Him a deeper clarity, the anklets belonging to His Eternal Ardhaangini Sarasvati, whose Lotus feet touched the open leaves of the Lotus flowers, they spreading wide just for Her, giving Her feet space, freely offering their reverential devotion. He knew Her feet would be stained red, deeper than the usual red, owing to the fact that She had just come from Vaikunta, where it was customary to send Medha back only with new kumkum applied.

He could envision the mischievous argument which would have broken out then, in the form of banter.

"Medha, can I please colour your feet red?" Lakshmi asked, eyes twinkling innocently, yet filled with mischief.

"Lakshmi, has Bhrata Narayana finally taught you mischief?" Uma teased, giggling when Lakshmi pouted at Her, though the mischief in Her Lotus eyes did not even falter for a second.

"Can I colour yours, Sri?" questioned Medha, Her own eyes, so very much like Shiva's, arresting and beautiful, shone in deep amusement.

"We all will colour each other's," said Sri instead, laughing when Uma gave Her a mock exasperated look.

"Yes, we will!"

"And we did, Swami!"

Her voice was like the pleasant waterfalls that soothed an injured heart and Soul, a gentle balm lovingly caressing and healing. Brahma opened His eyes to see His wife standing in front of Him, one foot pointed, the other flat, the curves of Her soles splendid in their beauty. Her standard half white clothing held the tinge of Vaikunta's Bliss. Her bangles had changed into a different set than the pearl ones She had worn that morning, now decked with rubies studded in gold bangles, a gift Sri had hand crafted Herself, no doubt. The necklace She wore was the same one she always wore, pearl in gold, a gift He had given Her right after their marriage, a symbol of Her purity alone being the reason for the shine of His golden nature that created the Universe with Her help.

He took in Her calm Lotus face, eyes lined with kohl and Her sindoor filled with the red kumkum He always placed on Her forehead, Her pottu beautiful and round. Her hair was plaited and decorated with jasmine, no doubt the handiwork of Uma.

"Swami!"

Medha's face had taken on a deep red hue, making Brahma adore Her even more. Jnanamayi Vidya was blushing just due to His adoration?

"Swami, stop pretending to be some normal human," pouted Sarasvati, touching His feet before sitting down on the Lotus to His left, ever Her position, the Lotus white, much like Her very purity.

"Priye, you make me know the value and meaning of Love. Then how can I not be human with you?"

Brahma's words made Medha smile, tender, loving, deep and shy; She was ever the newly wed bride with Him.

"Words true of you are true of me too, Praneshvara. If you are human with me, I too am only a woman with you. Not MahaDevi, as I am to most," said She, Her voice the compliment of His baritone, both soothing, gently loving the Universe like only the Creators could.

"Vaani, I have not the words to describe you," said Brahma softly. "All I can say is that anything I say is because of you, anything I act upon is because of you. If I am passive, you are the active part of me, ever watchful and present. It is your energy that aids this Creation that is part of my duties."

"Swami, an Ardhaangini is She who is forever a partner to Her husband in every single way possible. She has a share in every creation, every responsibility, in every happiness, and most definitely, in every sadness of His. She is His other half, like He Hers. How can we be different? What you wish is what I do. What I prompt is what you say. We are Complete together."

Brahma just listened to Her adoringly, His eyes conveying the depth of Love He felt for Her. She could see the reflection of His love in His wide eyes, touching Her face and causing a gentle caress on it. A smile on Her lips, She leaned forward to place Her head on His shoulder, the two seated on Brahma Deva's pink Lotus, lost in Their own Bliss, even as the sounds of Sarasvati's Veena sang through the Universe, awakening Joy, Happiness, Prosperity and Righteousness across the endless Brahmanda.

I found this fascinating article about Ananda Coomaraswamy, the great art historian (1877-1947) who made it his life’s mission to put Indian art on the world’s map of artistic traditions. But there’s also a lot of interesting information about metallurgy during the Chola period as well. It pairs well with the Vidya Deheja book I’m reading. (One of the things Dehejia mentions is that there are no copper deposits in Tamil Nadu that could supply the massive amount of bronze used by the Chola statues and inscriptions so historians are trying to figure out where they got the copper from. Bihar? Rajasthan? Southeast Asia? The interconnected trade networks of this period are also fascibating; she quotes 12th century letters from a Jewish trader in Aden with a Jewish bronze factory owner in Mangalore. The world has always been much more interconnected than we’ve imagined. Sri Lanka is also a tantalizing source of copper - a reason the Cholas wanted to conquer it?)

The Power of Aksharas: Unveiling the Spiritual Significance of Sounds in Tamil Tradition

Sounds precede written scripts.Not all sounds can be captured or written down.Language is from Sounds and not the other way around.Sounds express emotions and are spontaneous.Sounds also express the innermost yearnings of Beings. Spiritual feelings too are expressed though sounds. Siva, Siddha Thirumoolar, records in his Thirumandhiram a Philosophical and Tantric treatise in Tamil states that…

Hymn to the Empress of Kings

Praise be to The Empress of Kings seated on the throne of five corpses in the palace of ruby.

Her blinking eyes birth and collapse the cosmos, and her crown is the lunar half-moon.

She whose reddened eyes roll ecstatically, She is Mahātripurasundarī, The Great Beauty of the Triads.

Praise be to Parā Aṃbikā, of allure so exquisite that, enchanted, Śiva grew his third eye just to worship her beauty.

Her body is anointed with sandalwood, and her fragrance bathes and deludes the three worlds.

She is Śrīmātā, The Auspicious Mother.

Praise be to Lalitā Aṃbikā, The One Who Plays, whose girdle of tinkling bells stirs creation into being.

She who gifts the sun his effulgence, Her toenail holds the universes, and Her auspicious thighs are known only by the fortunate Kāmeśvara.

She is Kāmākṣī, She whose eyes are desire.

Bhavānī, you are the nectar of the ocean of compassion: grace this songstress to only sing of your praises.

“Hymn to the Empress of Kings”, one of my poems offered to Devī at the magnificent Siri Jyoti Pūjā in Seattle. inspired by the verses of the Lalitāsahasranāma which extoll Lalitā’s rapturous beauty. Śrī Mātre Namaḥ. Happy Navarātra!

"What Brahman is cannot be described.

All things in the world - the Vedas, the Puranas, the Tantras, the six systems of philosophy - have been defiled, like food that has been touched by the tongue, for they have been read or uttered by the tongue.

Only one thing has not been defiled in this way, and that is Brahman.

No one has ever been able to say what Brahman is.

Brahman is beyond vidya and avidya, knowledge and ignorance.

It is beyond maya, the illusion of duality."
