Bisorjon by Abanindranath Thakur

[pranasakha]

I kneel where Your tears have fallen,

Gaura, moon with reddened eyes,

and the sound of Your weeping

splits my chest open like a fault line.

Please—

do not cry like this.

Not because I do not love Your sorrow,

but because it burns too close to my bones.

Your grief enters me whole,

and I am too small to hold it.

When You sob for Krishna,

the world tilts.

Walls soften.

My breath forgets how to move.

How can a heart made of dust

survive the weight of God’s longing?

O Beloved,

I know these tears are jewels,

that the scriptures bow before them,

that liberation waits in their wake;

but I am only a devotee

with shaking hands.

Let me wipe Your cheeks.

Let me say the foolish thing love always says:

Please don’t cry,

not like this, not alone.

If You must weep,

then weep into my shoulder.

If separation claws at You,

let it claw through me first.

I would rather break

than watch You drown in holy grief.

Smile,

even if it is only for a breath.

Even if it costs me everything.

Your sadness is unbearable,

because You are unbearable to love.

अरुणां करुणां तरंगिताक्षीं

धृतपाशांकुशबाणचापहस्ताम् ।

अणिमादिभिरावृताम् मयूखैर्

अहमित्येव विभावये भवानीम् ॥

aruṇāṃ karuṇā taraṅgitaakṣīṃ dhṛtapāśaaṅkuśabāṇacāpahastām।aṇimādibhirāvṛtām mayūkhair aham ityeva vibhāvaye bhavānīm।।

I meditate on Bhavānī, surrounded by rays of light and the eight siddhis, whose color is red, whose eyes are rippling with compassion, and who is holding a rope, a hook, a bow and an arrow.

I was thinking about guys listening Anirudh's music.

Idk if this is just something I feel or something for real, but here it is: Sometimes I feel like people forget that Goddess Laxmi is Narayani. I don’t like it when she is simply correlated to wealth and monetary when she is all the resources (including the earth), the senses, Prakriti herself and just as much as all divine as Narayan, hence the name Narayani. She’s everything there is, the part of Hari that incarnated with him, the all knowing, yet people never talk about it enough.

And honestly, I feel like I can say the same for Maa Bramhani, strictly coming to us when we accidentally touch a book by our feet and not as source of all knowledge and the power of creation, the true mother to us since it is her vastness that shapes our souls.

I feel so happy knowing that Maa Uma Bhavani is still so well loved with her true divinity more recognised, her form as Adi Shakti more known yet I feel like we should realise the other two aswell.

'As you all know, the environment on my planet is completely inhospitable to most other life forms.

The Barzan has been a society dependent on others for generations. We want that to end.

The appearance of this stable wormhole in our space provides us with our first true natural resource. We have neither the experience nor the technology to exploit it. But you do.' - bhavani
