A Journey to the Abode Absolute

Credits : Times of India

The first moment of your journey on this earth,
That sacred dawn before your eyes beheld the light,
A day unique, when blessings rained upon your soul,
From the lotus hands of your guiding Guru bright.

Did you feel then—deep within—your heart’s bloom,
Its petals quivering with a longing divine,
Restless, yearning to reach the destined path,
To surrender at the Absolute Feet sublime?

If not, then pause—traverse the memory’s stream,
Touch again those sanctified realms unseen.
Meet the depths where silence speaks,
Sit straight, meditate, let wisdom peak.
For the dawn of the Sanatan New Year awaits,
Standing awake at your soul’s gate,
Bringing boons to make divine dreams real,
To carve the path, to uplift, to heal.

The earth now dons a robe of green,
With fragrant whispers in the breeze unseen.
Colors dance upon the horizon wide,
The saffron sun ascends in pride—
And deep within, a call resounds.

Hoist high the Brahma Dhvaja!
Let it kiss the boundless sky!
Walk the path of Chaitra Shukla Pratipada,
For now is the hour—sacred and bright—
To reclaim our truth, to reignite,
To walk the destined, hallowed way,
And reach the Abode Absolute one day.
