“My Mother - Amma

Her touch was my solace,
Her smile did encourage,

Her love was my strength,
Her stare, I fully decant,

Her care was my power,
Her joy was my shower,

Her anger corrected my path,
Her laughter filled my heart,

Her silence made me ponder,
Her glare was my reminder,

Her scorn corrected my track,
Her embrace I never did lack.”

“कंदर्प अगणित अमित छवी नव नील नीरज सुन्दरम।
पट्पीत मानहु तडित रूचि शुचि नौमी जनक सुतावरम॥

To Sri Ram, whose beauty is incomparable, I am bowing,
His body like a newly formed dense blue cloud I am seeing,
His shining yellow robes over his body are like lightening,
He is the consort of Janak’s daughter his beauty is gleaming.”

“संकट मोचन हनुमानाष्टक
मत्तगयन्द छन्द

बाल समय रबि भक्षि लियो तब तीनहुँ लोक भयो अँधियारो।
ताहि सों त्रास भयो जग को यह संकट काहु सों जात न टारो।
देवन आनि करी बिनती तब छाँड़ि दियो रबि कष्ट निवारो।
को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥१॥

When as a child you lapped the sun, darkness on triple world fell,
The worlds so got into trouble and a crisis that none could dispel,
Gods then prayed to you to spare the sun and you did so quell,
Who doesn’t know in this world your name `Problem Solver’ bells?
