O Shri Ram, let there be millions of salutations at your feet and let there be light in the dark minds of even those who try to question your being!
How naive of someone to question whether Lord Ram existed or not! How insensitive too!
If ASI - Archaeological Survey of India - does not have proof of Shri Ram's existence, it only means that they do not know enough.
Also, as the officers responsible run for their head, it would do good to them to visit the Lord's temple and invoke Him to pardon them for what they did... Alas, such could be the irony that one turns to help from the same Lord whom he/she denies an existence.
True, Nirbal Ke Bal Ram... The Lord does not discriminate.
Salutations to Shri Ram!

Krishna...Krishna....
Krishna Janmashtmi, September 04, 2007
Krishna...Krishna.... so echoed the soul stirring name of the eternal spirit called Krishna.
The echoes were so real and deep within that tears rolled out of the eyes and my soul got filled with 'bhakti' (devotion) for the Lord.
The place was Ujjain and I was at Sandipani Ashram - the place where lord Krishna received his education under his teacher named Sandipani. Located in the same premises is a place called 'Baithak' where Vallabhacharya gave discourses on Lord Krishna. When I entered the 'Baithak', the sweet sound of Krishna...Krishna.... started echoing in my very existence and I witnessed Krishna in my whole consciousness across the ages....! There was silence in the hall and there was this deep echo in my heart...!
Krishna... Krishnaa... O Lord, I offer you my salutations and my heart is overjoyed with your presence in my very being !

Words
Words
Dissolved
In air
Turned into fragrance
Of first rain
All around me.
That day
Those few words of yours
Conveyed to me
So much !

Sunrise to Sunset...
Sunrise to sunset
And sunset to sunrise
The journey continues
As if forever.
The moment rolls over
The moment arrives
Ah, a moment was there
And the moment is awaited!
Sunrise to sunset
And sunset to sunrise
The witness creates the images
And images witness the moments.
How short is the day
And how long is the night
The moments between the moments
And the moment after the moments!
And sunset to sunrise
The journey continues
As if forever.
The moment rolls over
The moment arrives
Ah, a moment was there
And the moment is awaited!
Sunrise to sunset
And sunset to sunrise
The witness creates the images
And images witness the moments.
How short is the day
And how long is the night
The moments between the moments
And the moment after the moments!

Time...The Fundamental Building Block
The world is created out of time. As the time unfolds, the world appears. And as the time folds back, the world disappears...! The time is the most fundamental building block. Matter, energy, space...all are created out of time.

Let Me Rest
Everyone says so -
"Keep moving
Till the last breath."
Oh oh...
My heart does not agree any more.
Why I should not stop moving ahead !
Now... right here.
I just do not feel like
Keep moving any more.
It's been enough
Living life like this.
Enough of these daily struggles
Running around
Enough of handling
Thirsts that never get quenched.
Now, I only want to
Look around and drink
The beauty of life as it is.
Now, I only want to
Inhale the life
Deep inside me as I breathe.
I just want to hear
My own breaths
In the stillness of life around me
Right now... here.

A Strange Preparation
In this world of mine
Everyday
When
I get up
In the morning
I see that
All the people around me
Are busy
In a strange preparation
To
Create as much noise as possible
So as to
Fill the emptiness of their minds
And to
Get rid of
Loneliness.
But alas!
I do not know why
By evening
As the sun sets
The loneliness becomes overwhelming
And minds get drained.
And then
When I get up the next morning
I again find
That everyone
Is preparing
To fight again.

Loss
Some went away
Some turned adversaries
And some played strangers
Keeping silent.
I just do not know what I did
That I lost all !

Time
वक़्त तू क्यों इतना विरोधी है ?
करता है सांठ गाँठ हवा के हर झोंके से
कि बन थपेड़ा वह मुझे चोट पहुँचाये ।
जिन्दगी के हर मोड़ पर
तू मुझे कठिन राहें दिखाए
वक़्त तू क्यों इतना विरोधी है ?

करता है सांठ गाँठ हवा के हर झोंके से
कि बन थपेड़ा वह मुझे चोट पहुँचाये ।
जिन्दगी के हर मोड़ पर
तू मुझे कठिन राहें दिखाए
वक़्त तू क्यों इतना विरोधी है ?

Wait
वो काफिले सजाते रहे
और हम करते रहे इन्तजार
पर अफ़सोस - वक़्त को न थी किसी की परवाह
वो तो दूरियां और बढ़ा गया ।
