Jataka Bandi

Where the Sky Listens

July 19, 2025

She leans from sky to fragile thread,
Not to be seen, but to keep them fed.
No hymns are sung, now vows are said –
Yet time bows low where her wings tread.

In a cradle of breath, on bamboo sway,
She brings the dawn in her own way.
Not with thunder, not with flame,
But with a hush that has no name.

Who says the sacred lies in stone?
Here, in silence, love has flown.
And if you pause, the wind might say—
She’s held the world in beak and clay.

Hridaya Guru

July 10, 2025

“Guruṁ vinā na margah,” they said—
But mine spoke not, just smiled instead.
Antarātmani, a voice did bloom,
Soft as chandana, in twilight’s room.

Dig not the dust, seek not the skies,
The path is carved where silence lies.
Is hridaya nāda too faint to hear?
Or drowned in māyā, cloaked in fear?

This Guru Purnimā, I bend and bow,
Not outward, but to the ātma now.
To his pāda, unseen, I cling—
And simply bhava, in everything.

When Life Waits With You

May 23, 2025

When you pause, the world exhales—
a petal falls, a ripple stills,
and life, once distant, sits beside you
with a quiet, knowing smile.

When you race, the days blur past—
a flicker, a flash, no time to trace
the beauty etched in morning light,
the grace that hides in empty space.

When you feel, life breathes with you—
in sorrow’s hush and laughter’s sway,
each heartbeat echoes back a truth:
you were never meant to look away.

And when you dare to free your soul—
from shoulds, from fears, from needing more,
life gently lifts its veils of weight,
and opens you… from your own core.
