...Dakshinamoorthy
It was in the stillness of this lake
In a remote verdant village called Kattupalli
Off the hustle and bustle of industrial north Madras
I discovered the Lord of Silence
Mouna Guru Dakshinamoorthy
Seated quietly in meditation
This village faced several threats
Its ecosystems were gearing
To get absorbed into petrochemical "parks"
But the media intervened in time
And the scientists, environmentalists
Stakeholders and many others followed
The project was shelved
But the threat is still there
The threat, that the stillness
Quietitude and meditation
Of this beautiful village
Will soon be robbed, looms large
It is my dream
That here should happen
An ecological park and bio-research station
To cater to the need of students and scientists
And for those like me who
Touch and feel silence
A beautiful Ashram
Where there is space and time
For meditation and silence.

we live in a world where everything is an 'oppurtunity' for making more money. Sad indeed.
Thanks Ganesh for dropping by. Only I don't get much time here for blog hopping, or even posting as I used to do before.
Thank you trespasser. Knowing me better is by keeping in touch on my blog. I also write in Cosmic Consciousness, a link on this blog. You may keep in touch on mail too - swahilya@gmail.com
Hi swahilya. Not long ago I ran (drove a truck) from Eugene/Springfield, Oregon up the McKenzie River Canyon on Oregon Highway 126 to Sisters and Bend, Oregon. It was the most beautiful country in the United States I have ever seen. It too was protected from deforestation and abuse from the MoneyMakers. What a joy to see the great fir, cedar, and spruce trees of the Mt. Hood National Forest. As I wound my way up the canyon among the trees, I had an overwhelming feeling that all the lost souls of time, all of the spirits of our ancestors, reside within the forest. They seemed to be saying to me that humankind does not belong on earth, that we are unwelcome. That nature without us is perfection.
You're right, Brother bill>

Yes, trespasser: even I have not posted for a long time. In another two days, I might come up with something.
Yes immense silence has sounds did you listen to thoose sounds. Is there silence at all in the whole universe. it's full of action; ananda. When mind is silent there soul is ignited and it dances to cosmic rythm. Is it silence?
