A Dedication To Adi Shankaracharya

A dedication to Adi Shankaracharya on Shankaracharya Jayanti.

Your life is the most sacred hymn

What can I write to praise you, then!

Your words are immortal

Your thoughts are immortal

What ‘New’ can I find to write today!

Your prayers brought the realization of Advaita in the life

What prayer can I write today!

You told me the meaning of ‘Samadhi’

What can I write beyond your words!

No experience can be beyond your words!

How can I express my feelings,

When devotion is felt only because of you.

My restless mind was searching for the peace

And

I discovered it within my heart

That is the magic of your words, hymns by you.

I didn’t know Gyana, I didn’t know Bhakti

I didn’t know spirituality and the Moksha

I read your words, I read your words again and again

And

I discovered the bliss which was always with me, within me.

I felt the Advaita philosophy, most difficult

I read your words, and

I am feeling Advaita to express only.

Advaita to spread only.

Advaita to live …so easily.

This is the magic of your words

Or the power of Advaita!

Everything is ‘One’

O Gurudeva! I am your child,

I don’t know all this poetry,

I am writing, because of you only

Without your words, life wouldn’t be blissful

Without your words ‘I’ couldn’t realize ‘myself’

Without your words, we wouldn’t know our culture.

You are enlightening this world, always
Your words are the only reason of peace in the world
