Grace Supreme…For A Glorious 2015…
Wednesday, December 31st, 2014
The old is ringing out, giving way to the New… Year 2015 is at the threshold and for us, who follows our Beloved Bhagawan it is time for introspection with a furtherance of prayer, seeking His benevolence of Grace Supreme for the New Year… As Prasanthi drifting into the New Year here is a beautiful poem from Sri Jullie Chaudhuri.
Arms open wide…
…the hours of the New Year beckon invitingly…
2014 will soon be absorbed by the chronicles of history…
…the spotlight is beaming on 2015…
After all that she has been put through…
…witnessing all that she had to…
…the ‘pralaya’ in the mind of man…
…so contrary to the divine plan…
…the factions and frictions,
…intended chasms and rifts…discords and dissensions…
…tumults and turmoil…
…callous disregard of Nature’s bounty and soil…
…attracting the fury of natural elements…
Hence…quite eagerly…
…for peaceful climes…Mother Earth is fretfully keen…
Tears glisten with many a shattered dream…
…as she places fervent prayers upon the Celestial Screen -
Oh! Beloved Lord, accept my adoring Salutations…
…i beg Thee…
…grant -
Grace Supreme…for a harmonious 2015…
What about us earthlings…
…members of the human species…?
…what of equality, humanity and human qualities…
…languishing in the deep freeze…?
Is it not time to renew soul contracts…
…and soul contacts…?
Time to face facts…and re-establish pacts…
…with the conscience within…
As well as the Cosmic Self and Transcendental Being…
Half-hearted vows…
…a mere pledge or two…
…any more will certainly not do…
…it’s time enough…
…for a solemn undertaking from me and you…
…readjust…reframe, remould…
…the thought process modify…
…deeply reflect upon life,
…the raison d’être…the reason for being…
…the what, when and the why,
…other than relatives, family and friends…
…the inherent duty hitherto ignored as citizens of Earth…
…some relevant questions…
…self examination…introspection…contemplation…
…as to the true reason for our birth…
…deeply acknowledging the inner wealth beyond the outer dearth…
Let us unite and pray…
… to that Presence Supreme…
…for Grace Amaranthine…
…for a Glorious and Golden…
Gloriously Golden 2015…
Come, Dear Ones…
Sweet Friends…Dear Brothers and Sisters…
…to the call of the soul it is time to respond…
Let us wilfully connect and consolidate a bond…
…across a myriad realms and many a sphere…
…consciously plead with our precious Lord…
…for a Sai Conscious Year…
From all that is corrupt, vicious, vile and negative…
…let us pray for a lasting release…
May all hearts be filled with the harmony of Sai…
…so too,
May the melody of the Beloved One’s love and peace…
…consciousness expand and compassion increase…
…may the i be merged in Sai…
…quite intentionally may we dare to care…
…beware of confining inhibitions…
…and be aware…of Him…
…in every atom that does waltz around us…
May…
Care for life, Concern for Nature…
…and Respect for all of Creation…
…prevail through…
A true Samastha Lokaah…
…Samastha Jeeva Sukhino Bhavantu…
…from the cry of an orphan…
…human or otherwise…
…to reaching out to beings in distress…
…may we realise the Lord dons many a disguise…
…men, women, animals, birds, plants and trees…
…ever so many perpetually looking for a fresh lease…
When we award respect to all life forms…
…we raise ourselves to a ceaseless worship of the Creator…
…opening channels for benedictions…
…that glimmer…
…pictures of golden times…
…of a bright and harmonious future…
Beloved Bhagawan,
…as the clock ticks away…
…and the New Year awaits its debut…
May we explicitly express…
…how much we miss You…
Oh! Beloved Mother Sai…
Your words fan the flames of faith…
…beyond description knowing no abate…
Hope is a fragrant bud,
You, so gently, all knowingly…
…placed within our heart…
…its petals unfurl steadily…
…as we reminisce Thy Wonder…
…and the wondrous moments yet to be…
…There is nothing that can replace or equate…
…what we feel for Thee…
Come, Oh! Beloved One,
Come and eradicate…
…the woes of Earth…
…the woes that our own actions have thrust upon us…
Initiate…that much required transformation…
…follies obliterate…make ignorance evaporate…
…egos eliminate…
Come, Dearest Lord, intellects illuminate…
…must we languish when we beseech Thy clemency…?
Oh! Mother, Sweet Mother Sai…
…from our anguish set us free…
As the gong strikes the hour of midnight…
We seek Thee…we seek Thy Light…
…in silence we gaze at Thy picture…
…something divine does the heart stir…
…apparently face to face with Thee…
…the altar seems disappear…
…looking deep into Thy Beautiful Eyes…
…we offer obeisance at Thy Lotus Feet…
…drenching our soul…
…in the Ocean of Thy effervescent Essence…
Come, we implore Thee for Thy Presence…
…even as we await the fulfilment…
…of each sublime Utterance…
Oh! So much do those lines convey,
…though none can fathom…
…the mystery of Thy Divine Play…
You, are the Source…the Embodiment of Truth,
…so too, whatever You utter becomes the Truth,
As the first rays of the Sun joyfully embrace…
…the dawn of a New Year…
…our predominant desire caresses our longing…
…for glimpses of Thee…
Oh! Divine Shepherd…
…can You not hear the incessant cry…
…of Your little lambs…
Grant us a boon that will enhance…
…the vista of this New Year through and through…
Guide us…keep us within sight…
Kindle and…
Lead us kindly to our own light…
Assist us to an enlightened way of living and being…
Come, we seek Thee,
Oh! Thee, with the Countenance of Eternal Spring…
…so much joy Your thoughts do bring…
…blissfully we remain lost in Thy glory…
Each moment of each day be with us, we pray…
…reign us in…do not allow us to stray…
Reflecting upon the year bowing out…
…the waning 2014…
…we surrender its experiences to Thee…
…while prayerfully bowing and wholeheartedly imploring -
Beloved Bhagawan…
Graciously grant…
Grace Supreme…for a Glorious 2015…
