நூறு மதிப்பெண் !!!
இயல்பாய், எளிதாய் மகிழ்ச்சி வருமே
எவரும் பெறலாம், இன்பம் உறலாம் !
அயலார் விடவும் அதிகம் வேண்டும்
ஆசை அதற்குக் குழியைத் தோண்டும் !
ஒன்றைப் பலரும் பகிர்ந்தால் குறையும் .
உடனே உதிக்கும் அவருள் பிணக்கே !
என்றும் மகிழ்ச்சி பகிர்ந்தால் பெருகும் !
இதுவே வாழ்வின் விந்தைக் கணக்கு !
துண்டு தோளில் கிடக்கும் போது
சுற்றி முற்றும் தேடும் நண்பா !
மண்டும் மகிழ்ச்சி மனதில் பொங்க
மாய உலகில் தேடல் பண்பா ?
அன்பைக் கூட்டி அறிவைப் பெருக்கி
ஆணவம் கழித்துப் பகிர்வாய் மகிழ்ச்சி !
இன்பம் ஈவாய்த தரும்இக் கணக்கே !
என்றும் நூறு மதிப்பெண் உனக்கே !
இனிய புத்தாண்டு ௨௦0௧௧ இல் (2011) உலகில் மகிழ்ச்சி பெருக வேண்டும் என இறைவனை வேண்டி இப்பாடலை உலக மக்கள் அனைவருக்கும் சமர்ப்பிக்கிறேன்

SRI SESHAASHTAGAM
தொடராகிய வாழ்வு பெருந்துயரம்
துணையாகநீ வந்தால் அதுமறையும் .
இடரேகளைய இதுவே தருணம்
இனி ,சேஷகுரு திருவடி சரணம் !
அறியேன்எதுவும் அகிலம் தனிலே
அவமாய்ப் பிறவி அழிதல் அழகோ ?
சிறியேன் புரியும் செயல்கள் பிழையே
திருசேஷகுரு மலரடி சரணம் !
அதுவும், இதுவும், எதுவும் வருமோ ,
அறுந்தால் உடம்போ டுயிரின் தொடர்பே ?
மதியாய், விதியாய்க் கதியாய் எனக்கே
வருசேஷகுரு திருவடி சரணம் !
மனமே தினமே மரமேல் குரங்காய்
மதமே மிகவே கிளைகள் குதிக்கும்
இனிமேல் இதைநீ பொறுத்தல் தகுமோ ?
எழில்சேஷகுரு திருவடி சரணம் !
நிழலும் தருமே மரமே , அதைப்போல்
நெடிதேவளர்என் உடல்தான் தருமோ ?
உழலும் உயிர்கட் குதவப் பணிப்பாய்
ஒளிர்சேஷகுரு திருவடி சரணம் !
அறிவும், திருவும், அழகும் இணைந்தே
அமைந்தே விடினும் வருமோ அமைதி ?
பொறிகள் அடங்கும் வழிதான் புகல்வாய்
புகழ்சேஷகுரு திருவடி சரணம் !
பதறிக் கதறிப் பலநாள் கழியப்
பயணம் முடிந்தால் பயன்தான் உளதோ ?
உதவிபுரிய உடனே வருவாய் !
உறுசேஷகுரு திருவடி சரணம் !
அருணை ஒளியே , கருணை வடிவே
அகத்தின் இருளை அடியோ டழிப்பாய் !
ஒருமை உணர்ந்தேன் , உண்மை அறிந்தேன்
உயர்சேஷகுரு திருவடி சரணம் !!!

THE 'MONETARY' MESSAGE
During national celebrations and on important festivals our leaders promptly and pompously issue stock messages greeting the people of the country.Any occasion or event without a message from a bigwig is considered incomplete.But most of these messages are routine,stereotyped and worn-out cliches which are not only insipid but also uninspiring. We are so accustomed to such banalities that we altogether dismiss them without giving them a second thought . Presumably, they are the creations of some secretaries who don't even understand the solemnity of the occasions.
The other day,I got an unusual message which proved to be a refreshing change. It was a different sort of message on three counts.Firstly, it was anonymous. Secondly,it was obviously written with a good intention rather than garnering cheap publicity.Thirdly,it was written on a 'TEN RUPEE CURRENCY NOTE'.On the front side of the currency (on the white space) were the words,"FIGHT FOR PEACE". On the reverse I found the cryptic remark,'HUMANITY IS RELIGION'.
As a rule I abhor the practice of defacing currency notes as it reduces the life-span of the money. It is also indecent and an act of callousness. But that particular 'monetary message' appeared to be relevant, altruistic and well-meant that,I had to shed my initial resentment and all my reservations.
We fight many a battle in life, the main motive invariably being that of self-aggrandizement. But the idea of 'Fighting for peace' (what a lovely paradox!) in these troubled times can emanate only from an enlightened soul. In this world we live as Hindus, Christians, Muslims,Buddhists etc.-forgetting the basic fact that we are all human beings.Our religious faith has failed to evoke humanitarian sentiments in our stony hearts. But, is it not the core of all religious tenets?.The writer,by his observation,'Humanity is religion' subtly pinpoints our folly and exhorts us to have a humane approach.
Flooded with these thoughts I lost myself in a reverie.
Suddenly,I remembered William Wordsworth"s immortal lines:
"And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils"
The profoundity of the message ,like Wordsworth's daffodils,made my heart dance with ecstasy.

RISE AT DAWN
Little children,rise at dawn-
Behold all the joys of morn!
An early bird chirps or sings;
Fragrance rides on airy wings;
Pearly green grass tops aglitter;
Colourful butterflies all flutter.
Children dear,do not miss
Morning's glory and its bliss!
(I wrote this small poem for my son Shankar,when he was a little boy)

Colourful butterflies all flutter.

SUN--Translation of Subramania Bharati's Prose-poem,'GNAYIRU' translated by R.NATARAJAN
SUN
Oh sun !
What have you done to
darkness ?
Have you
driven it?
slain it ?
or
gobbled it up ?
Did you conceal it
in your kissing embrace
with hands of rays ?
Is darkness your
foe or food?
Is it your lady love
dismayed at your
absence thro' the night
and thus
turned black ?
Overjoyed at your
emergence,
did it imbibe your
radiance and blend
with you ?
Are you both
children of the same mother?
Did your mother
ordain
both of you
to protect the world
by
coming in turns?
Are the two of you
immortal ?
or the
divine elixir
itself?
We hail you both!
Oh sun!
We hail you !
Oh sun !
What have you done to
darkness ?
Have you
driven it?
slain it ?
or
gobbled it up ?
Did you conceal it
in your kissing embrace
with hands of rays ?
Is darkness your
foe or food?
Is it your lady love
dismayed at your
absence thro' the night
and thus
turned black ?
Overjoyed at your
emergence,
did it imbibe your
radiance and blend
with you ?
Are you both
children of the same mother?
Did your mother
ordain
both of you
to protect the world
by
coming in turns?
Are the two of you
immortal ?
or the
divine elixir
itself?
We hail you both!
Oh sun!
We hail you !

LORD KRISHNA!!!
The mellifluous mesmeric music
flowing forth from your
magic bamboo flute
transcends time and
thrills our palsied hearts
through the passing aeons.
Your sweet little childish pranks
on the perennial Yamuna banks
have become delightful legends
drenched with dews of
divine nectar.
Anklets tinkle, bracelets twinkle,
your tender feet sprinkle
dust
which dispels births and also deaths,
as you start
dancing.
The playful smile on your
charming cherubic face
cleanses us of all our
karmic sins.
You are at once the simple
cow-herd boy and the
celestial holy incarnation.
Your Gita is at once the
gateway to worldly knowledge
and the grand,
graceful culmination of
great spiritual wisdom.
Our hearts, like balls of butter
melt by the warmth of
ineffable love and intense devotion.
Krishna! steal our hearts and grant
salvation to our
suffering souls !

Life is a fairy tale
It is the fairy tales which lend colourful wings to their imagination.There,in the fairy-land,children come across mischievous elves,treasure-guarding gnomes,diminutive dwarfs and awe-inspiring ogres.With bated breath they witness daring princes and dainty princesses atop flying horses and weird witches casting evil spells on hapless victims.
Whenever I see acollection of fairy tales my memory races back to the good old days.When I was a small kid my father got me a big volume of fairy tales from calcutta(kolkatta).I still remember vividly all the minute details of the book.It had a fine glossy green cover with pictures of winged fairies hovering over tall flowers and lazy elves leaning upon huge mushrooms Clear bold letters and catchy line drawing illustrations made the stories more attractive.
The first story was "Jack and the bean stalk".Every time I went through it,I was afraid that the giant might catch hold of Jack before he could climb down the bean stalk. I felt greatly relieved when Jack chopped it down with agility while the giant was on his way down from very great height. I could still hear the 'THUD" of the giant's downfall.I felt like warning the innocent Snow white against the guile of her step-mother queen and the naughty Goldilocks against sleeping on the cosy cot of the "little bear". The emperor's new clothes greatly amused me and the "three little pigs' taught me a moral.
As I reached the high school level,I had an interesting encounter with a fairy when my eyes fell upon "La Belle Dame Sans Merci",the lovely lyric by John Keats.In it Keats talks about a "faery's child" who enslaves a" knight at arms". She takes him to her "elfin grot" (cave of an elf) and lulls him to sleep. Finally she vanishes leaving him "alone and palely loitering". All this wonderful descriptions took me to an altogether new world.
There are many who might think that these fairy tales are merely":sweet nonsense", not deserving any attention or interest. Cold logic stuffed deep into them has displaced all the subtle sensibilities and sublime feelings.It requires the innocent fancy of a child or the ecstatic insight of a poet to discover the true worth of these treasures of joy.Hans Christian Andersen,the giver of great many fairy tales,rightly observes,"Every man's life is a fairy tale,written by God's fingers".
