Safe In His Arms

 

May this moment of ours last forever

till eternity

May I dwell in peace,

dream in harmony

Of the Love, in you arms....

I Miss you 

Very Very much......

Inner Light

 

Dear Mother,

Oh Dear Mother,

The time has come to go within....

The Pain in this life,

is to be put to rest

A world awaits you within,

Awaken to the calling

The light which illuminates, 

which vanquishes the darkness, of ignorance

Seek that light

Do you  need more in this life....

But to see her and feel her in your depths.................

A New Moon >> A New Beginning >> To the Godess within (30 September 2024)

 

When I m aligned with the Universal Goddess

She guides me from within

When I cry to be protected, loved from the depths of truth

She sends her waves of Love,

With lotus in my heart

Awakened to the ever pervading rise of joy

She plants a thousand seeds of joy in my heart,

in my womb

Awaiting to be awakened, at the right time

What do I fear as I bask in this bliss, joy, protection and care.....

For I am LoVE 

His Smell

In the warm light

AS my hands drifted on the layers of your soul

Wanting to be healed and lifted

Your embrace

Your smell

I can never forget.......

Those memories which touch the Core of my Heart (30 September 2024)

Dear Wisdom,

You touched me in unimaginable ways,

As I remind myself of the tender embraces

your warmth

your smile

the twinkle in your eyes

the warmth in voice....

As time wades, I cant deny, your place in my heart...

I dont yet know, if i hold the same space in your heart......

Ive wondered, if someone has taken my place...

Yet, these memories which surface,

are healing the core of my heart....

Should I hold on or not, I dont know...

Yet, it helps me heal, when I cant find a way...

Afterall, our memories, are the one's where we hold those dear to us....

Take Care.....

 

The Idea Of "Love"

 What makes us fall for Neptunian Relationships?

The idea of love, is soo flattering than being in love itself. When love was denied at a young age, and when being safe in one's arms is all that you desired, Neptunian themed relationships based on 4th house, can surface. 

Prana Sanginire Kali Mu ki Laje Budili (Posted on Vaikunta Ekadasi - 23 December 2023)

I first saw this song, being performed in Odissi by Arushi Mudgal in 2013. I was smitten by the beauty and simplicity of the lyrics & of Maha Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra's choregraphy

Background of Song:

Radha, recounts to her friend, of how Krishna had visited her, in the disguise of a lady to apply alta to her feet. Radha is mesmerized by her beauty and questions that she has not seen a beutiful girl like her in the village. Krishna, wittingly, inscribes his name on the sole of her feet. Radha, rebukes her for doing so. All of a sudden, it is revealed that it is Krishna in disguise. Radha overtaken by shame, pleads to let go of her feet. 

Resemblance to Geeta Govinda

In the Ashtapadi - Priya Charusheelae, Krishna - asks Radha to place her feet on his head, an an antidote to the poison of love that has overtaken him.

Lyrics with transliteration and Translation: Contributed by Shri Prateek Pattnaik

'Kāli Mu ki Lāje Budili' by 18th-century poet Banamāli Dāsa

Original Odia text :

ପ୍ରାଣସଙ୍ଗିନୀରେ କାଲି ମୁଁ କି ଲାଜେ ବୁଡ଼ିଲି

ତୋତେ ନ ବିଚାରି ପଦେ ପଦେ ହୁଡ଼ିଲି

ମୁଁ ଯା ଅବିଚାରେ ପଡ଼ିଲି । ଘୋଷା ।

ଶ୍ୟାମ ହୋଇ ନାରୀ ବେଶ

ମୋ ପୁରେ ହେଲେ ପ୍ରବେଶ

ବୋଇଲେ ଗୋ ଆସ ଆସ

ଦେଇଯିବି ଲାକ୍ଷାରସ । ୧ ।

ଶୁଣି ତା ମୃଦୁ ବଚନ

ନ ରହିଲା ମୋ ଚେତନ

ପିନ୍ଧିଲି ଅତି ନିଉନ

ଝୀନବାସ ପୁରାତନ । ୨ ।

ଯାଇ ମୁଁ ଭାଷିଲି ରହ

ନ ଢଙ୍କାଇ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଦେହ

କାହିଁକି ଶଙ୍କା ନିବହ

ହୁଅନ୍ତା ସଜନୀ କହ । ୩  ।

ସେ ତ ନାନା କଳାକ୍ଷମ

ଲାକ୍ଷା ଦେଇ ଅନୁପମ

ପଦତଳେ ତାଙ୍କ ନାମ

ଲେଖିଲେ ଗୋ ଶ୍ୟାମ ଶ୍ୟାମ । ୪ ।

ତରକି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ମିତ

ଚଞ୍ଚଳ କରନ୍ତେ ଚିତ୍ତ

ଧରି ପାଦ ନନ୍ଦସୁତ 

ନ ଛାଡ଼ିଲେ କଦାଚିତ । ୫ ।

ହେବାରୁ କୂଟ ପ୍ରକଟ

କାହିଁ ଗଲେ ପୀତପଟ

'ବନମାଳୀ' ସେ ଲମ୍ପଟ

ପାଦପଦ୍ମେ ମଧୁଲିଟ । ୬ ।

Transliterated version :

(This has been romanised as per the pronunciation of Odia)

prāṇa-saṅginire kāli mũ ki lāje buḍili

Translation:

Translation : (Radha speaking to her friend)

Friend, how I died of shame the other day!

without you, I erred in each step

unable to comprehend. /refrain/

Shyāma, in the guise of a lady

entered my palace

He said "Come, come,

I'll paint you with alatā*". /1/

Listening to his sweet voice

I could not resist the invitation

And so I wore a small piece

of cloth (so her feet can be painted) / 2/

I went and said "Stop (beautician!)"

And went to him.

What was there to create doubt,

tell me? /3/

He is adept in many arts;

And so he painted my feet deftly

and under the sole

he wrote "Shyāma, Shyāma." /4/

(I saw it) Then I rebuked him

and my heart beat fast 

(guilty of having written Krishna's name below her feet)

Then, he held my feet

and refused to let go. /5/

When his deceit was caught

I found no sign of him around.

Banamāli (=poet) wishes to be

a bee at the feet of that trickster. /6/

*alatā is a red pigment that women apply on their feet and hands, in various designs during festivities.

This episode is one of the various guises of Krishna in Odia folklore where he devises multiple ways to placate an annoyed Radha.
