3 " 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. "

5 " Temper is a valuable possession,
Never lose it with your obsession,
The best way to win a fight,
- Do not be mad – it’s not right.

Temper is the strength of all,
Distemper – weakness and fall,
Tempered steel – strong and grit,
Distempered iron – weak and brit. "

6 " 2. Humanity & Peace -
2.09 THE NUCLEAR QUESTION
Any act against the constitution,
Must be declared to be but void,
But atomic acts against humanity,
Are the strength to be but tried.

The future of any of the countries,
Does lie way above its people,
And the future of humanity -
On numerous BOMBS so ample.

ब्राह्मीं च वैष्णवीं भद्रां, षड्-भुजां च चतुर्मुखीम्।

With six hands, four faces, three eyes gives safety,
With sword, trident, lotus, wheel, globe, mace be,

14 " 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?

शान्ताकारं भुजगशयनं पद्मनाभं सुरेशं
विश्वाधारं गगनसदृश्यं मेघवर्णं शुभाङ्गम्।
लक्ष्मीकान्तं कमलनयनं योगिभिर्ध्यानगम्यं
वन्दे विष्णु भवभयहरं सर्वलोकैकनाथम्।

I bow to Vishnu, Master of Universe unquestionably,
Who rests on great serpent bed, peaceful perpetually,
From His navel sprouts Lotus of Creative Power surely,
He the Supreme Lord of cosmos undeniably does be.
