Moments of Joy...


Oh! Amba! After surrendering everything I posses to your Lotus feet, I don't have anything to call as mine! All I have is the devotion to your Lotus feet! Please accept this sinner as your slave and hear my prayers!

Oh! Amba! Many people have dreams of their last moments! So Do I! AFter having performed the rites for my ancestors and father, when I had fed the Pithrus, Pita Maha & Prabitha Maha, and had offered them  food in the fire, and prostrated to their foot, and when I am in an ecstatic state, and when I shed tears of joy , thinking of the vathsalyam of my father and mother , and the kindness you showed to me though them please take me to your punya lokam!

Oh! Amba! When I had worshipped the Lotus feet of my SadGuru and when I am in a state of ecstasy thinking of the graces you bestowed on  me though my SadGuru, who showed the true meaning of the scriptures and preached me the true swaroopam of this Athma, and who takes me to the ecstatic state of Brahmanandam, and when I am in that state of ecstasy thinking of yours and Guru Krupa take me to your punya lokam!

Oh! Amba! When I had done your Navarathry Poojanam and when I have reached that great state of ecstasy, thinking of your blessings on this SInners and when I shed tears of joy, take me to your punya lokam!

Oh! Amba! You are that Maya! You are that Ishwari, who controls that Maya! You are also the one, who blesses devotees with their Athma Gnana! When I had realized your greatness, about how you have elevated this sinner from the level of a normal human being to the status of a worshipper of your Lotus feet and when I shed tears of Joy out of ecstasy, Oh! Amba! take away this mortal body!

Oh! Amba!  When I had done your divine worship and when I am with my family, friends and relatives, talking about your greatness about how you blessed Kalidasa, Dravida Sishu, Rathi Devi, Kumbha Muni take this mortal shareeram away and take me to that lokam, where there is no birth or death any more!

Oh! Amba! When I am in my garden, filled with flowers, envisioning your beautiful face in lotus, your lustrous , fluorescent colour in the nasturtium, the fragrance of your devotion in the Roses, your beautiful green colour in the grass and when I am in a state of ecstasy thinking of you take this mortal body!

Oh! Amba! When I am listening to melodious music, songs from the devotees, Azwars, Siddha Purushas,Sufi,Nayanmars, your divine names blessed to us by Kumbha Muni and when I envision you there and when I get immersed in the nectar of your devotion and when I had forgotten this worldly things and when I am in a total state of ecstasy take this mortal body!

Oh! Amba! Please forgive me if I had said anything wrong! Having surrendered everything to you - this shareeram, this mind , indriyas, this intellect and everything else I possess in this world, why should I pray to you about when to take this mortal coil? Oh! Amba Please forgive this ignorant one! Instead I should pray for being in a state of nithya sharanagathy! Oh! AMba ! Bless me with the ability to be immersed in your thoughts, although I get involved with the way of life of a common loukeeka! Oh! Amba! Bless me with that Gnana & Vaigraya! Even though I live the life of a loukeeka, - make my mind like that leaf of Lotus, which never sticks to water, even thought it's born in water! Not just during the final moments, oh! AMba! Bless me with that state of ecstasy - immersion in your Bhakthy all the times! Oh! Amba! You are the Ishwari! You when when to do what and whom to bless with what! But still like a baby, crying for mother's attention, I am trying to ask you to bless me! Oh! Amba ! Accept this sinner as your slave and bless me with your Bhakthy!
