The Shiva Parivar

_
_
SEEKING THEIR GRACE
_

Crooked tusked Child ! Free us

From ego that precedes a fall:
And, flashing like a crore of SUNS,
Give us Light that consumes all.
_
Brave Lord of hosts, Oh ! Muruga !
Give us wisdom that Solomon sought,
And courage to proclaim this wisdom
To all who are tired and taut.
_
Beloved PARENTS of the universe
Entwined as Artha and Vak ,
Reality- Consciousness, BLESS US,
Make easy our destined task.
_
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
_
Oh ! King of our ancient Ajanabha !
Wearing your renunciation's tiara:
Bless us with will and determination:
Celestial VRISHABHA ! Tirthankara !
_
Bless us Agasthya, southern Sage,
Who initiated"Adithyahridayam"
Saving Rama,from forces of evil,
Scheming a premature pralayam.
_
Lead us, Siddhas and Naathas !
Who pristine wisdom, conveyed,
To Egypt, Israel, the Sufi and Nivritti,
That Gurdjeif and Ouspensky sought.
_
Beloved Avathara of Parvardigaar,
Crown Jewel of the Bhagavatha trove,
Lead us from dark Mayaic Illusion,
To enter the prophesied Age of Love.
_
Nourished by all sages of yore,
Flowering in the Indian Walden,
Having borne fragrant flowers,
Of fruit, our vine is not barren.
_
Seeking West needs eastern spice
To flavour its spiritual mead:
In East's new dawn it has found
Secret taste to fulfil the need.
_
Ye ! All the world come together ,
Celebrate the spiritual dawn !
Ancient One shines on "Bhaarath",
The Light of India is born !

Practical Spirituality

_
_
A
SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
for
Everyman
_
Inspired by ancient and modern
Teachers of spirituality of the East,
Finding by practical confirmation,
That man's spiritual needs it meets,
_
This Spiritual teacher of the West,
For all seekers to share its wisdom,
Has unloaded its spiritual treasures
To walk on the high road to freedom.
_
As the end of this era approaches
And the beckoning New Era begins,
We need some guide if not a savior
To tell "Eternal Truth Always Wins"!
_
In a language popular in East and West,
With sincerity born of highest authority,
He writes and speaks for all to understand
Hidden practical secrets of spirituality.
_
Complain not that "He stole our religion",
For he has shown all religions can work,
If new teachings born of inner experience
Bring to light truths all traditions shirk.
_
Go nowhere in your search for knowledge.
" You can find it HERE and NOW", he says.
Beyond the active mind that bears the ego
The secret of wisdom of all the ages stays.
_
When man realizes this, and acts on it,
Peace must descend wherever wars exist.
The dawn of the New Age will soon appear,
And Evolution of all mankind will subsist.
