My realization... India... one giant temple...

My realization as I traveled through India is that it is one giant temple... all religions, peoples, mixed up...

a sacred place... as Osho has said, India is not a place... it is a state of mind....  yes... so true...

India... I love thee still....

I am appreciated by these strangers more than i was ever in India .I can , if i will , live here all my life in the greatest luxury , but i am a sannyasin , and India , with all thy faults i love thee still.--Swami Vivekanand [ Boston 1893]

the Spirit... which is all Love...

I do not care what they say,  I  love my God , my religion , my country , and above all , myself a poor beggar.  I love the poor , the ignorant , the downtrodden , I feel for them – the Lord knows how much. He will show me the way.  I do not care a fig for human approbation or criticism .  I think most of them as ignorant, noisy children – they have not penetrated into the inner nature of sympathy , into the spirit which is all love.---------------SWAMI VIVEKANANDA [ CHICAGO, 1894]

I wear the yellow turban...

I WEAR THE  YELLOW TURBAN
BY DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT, INDIA

Today, I am not my  usual self
I saw Paramhans Yoganand
I saw Swami Vivekanand
Come to me
Putting the yellow turban on my head
I am feeling totally unworthy
How I shall fulfill promises of Thee
I have so many faults
I have so many sins
They cried , you , you and only you
Will work for us
You will have to carry our mission
Because you are wearing the yellow turban 

Eighty percent of Indians live in villages...

Eighty percent of the people of India live in villages so their prosperity depends on the prosperity of cows.-------MAHATMA GANDHI

village life.. the juggler...

Juggler
BY DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT, INDIA
Blowing of the whistle
Gathering of all children
Games of snakes and monkey
Pindrop silence prevails
Juggler sometimes cries sometimes hails
Different games to show
Amidst the hustle bustle of the village
Full entertainment to throw
Collection of money all around

If you laugh...

IF YOU LAUGH
BY DR. RAM SHARMA , MEERUT, INDIA

If you laugh,
the black darkness,
will change into twinkling stars,
if you laugh,
this autumn,
will change,
into fragrant spring,
if you laugh,
this fierce storm,
will change into cool breeze,
if you laugh,
all disappoints
will change into
new hopes 

Holi.. sacred Krishna festival in spring...

Lord Krishna`s Holi with Gopi`s
By DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT, INDIA

Gopi`s vivacities
Krishna` velocity
Fervour of Holi
Display of colours
Stained faces and humours
Mirth and joy all around
Colours all round lying on the ground
Singing of songs , beating of drums
Dancing of Gopi`s with Lord Krishna
Holi, holi everywhere with all kinds of funs
With the colours all are one
Their bodies different but souls are one

My India-- My Village...

My India –My Village
BY DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT, INDIA

Fragrance of the earth
Leading me towards the path
Where only love and love prevails
Everyone buys love and none sells
Participation of each in all the festivals , sorrows or joys
Cows ,bulls and agricultural toys
Sometimes sitting in the circle around the fire
Sometimes hanging on the boughs of the trees
Sometimes collecting the flowers to throw
In everyone`s orchard , only happiness to grow
Sometimes sitting together on Chaupal , to see jugglers show
My village—My India—I miss you

Ma Ganga...

MA GANGA
BY DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT, INDIA
You come to me like swift moving river,
And touches me like river touches stones,
...Your waves,
Vibrates my mind and soul,
You takes me from this world to other,
You waters plants and trees,
But i remain like unquenched earth,
You are innocent continuous spell,
But i am stagnant object

Rays...

RAYS
BY DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT , INDIA
The first silky touch,
of sunny rays,
hesitant like infiltraters,
shyful like a maiden,
In the afternoon,
these become harsh,
to melt stones,
Again these becomes tired,
to provide,
all energy
to the earth

My Mother.. Ganga Maiyya...

MY MOTHER--GANGA MAIYYA
BY DR. RAM SHARMA
O! thou provider of life
thou epitome of our culture
serene, calm and pure
engulfs every medicinal plant within it
waters our mind and fields
o thou! takes all our sins
thou are not a river
thou are a culture, a mark of respect
oh! what we are doing now
thou are not a thing of pleasure
thou are our treasure
kept from ages
Ganga, thou are our mother

Preachings of Ganga Maiyya...

PREACHINGS of Ganga Maiyya
BY DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT, INDIA
The flow of water of Ganges,
The flow of preachings of saints,
the body should remain healthy,
hunger, sleep in full order,
if men do physical labour,
men will remain away from any disorder

Blue sky...

BLUE SKY
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA
Blue sky,
Is changing its colour,
It is becoming black,
But this is laughing upon mankind,
Its face is twinkling,
With stars,
Those flashing meteors,
That blue moon,
Are making the face beauty of,
Blue sky

Invisible...

INVISIBLE
BY DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT, INDIA
You are with me
I am walking alone
On an endless path
I am hearing your silence
Like an unheard poem
Although you are invisible
Like any reminiscences
Distance has made you near me
Like the forgotten lesson of a book

Traveller...

TRAVELLER
BY DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT, INDIA


With the passing of the traveller,
The shadow became larger,
In that shadow,
The traveller,
Rested,
Ate,
She came daily in its shelter,
That traveller went to city,
In search of livelihood,
There are skyscrapers,
But no shadow

Water... like relations...

WATER LIKE RELATIONS
BY DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT, INDIA
Water like relations,
Delicate and fragile,
We fear, these should not,
Swept away with water,
There should not be any chaos,
Relations should be like waterfall,
These should continously flow,
Relations are not two banks of a river,
not to be met again but
Relations should be transparent

Sacred Water...

SACRED WATER
by Dr. Ram Sharma, India

Ganges is descending from the sky,
The water has been purified by moonlight,
It is coming slowly like a new wed groom,
Fountains mingling with fountains,
Medicinal plants are also mixing with it,
To quench the thirst of earth,
To provide the enlightenment for everyone,
To provide the sacred water to everyone,
Ganges descended on earth,
Save Ganges, save life

Morning...

MORNING
BY DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT, INDIA
I imagined,
in the morning,
dewy moonlight,
will descend ,
on green grass,
moonlit night will be descending,
the boughs will be budging,
by the delicate touch of winds,
chirping of birds,
fragrance of flowers,
will be there in the environment,
sunrays will be try to stand,
like a child

Dawn...

DAWN
by Dr. Ram Sharma, India

Passing through the silvery layers,
The dawn is approaching,
Dust,mist and fog,
Is decorating it,
The sleeping buds are awaking,
There is clarion call of cuckoo,
Everyone is coming out,
From dreamy world,
In the hope of a new dawn

Thou art my angel... self-confidence..

SELF-CONFIDENCE
by Dr. Ram Sharma, India

In the paths of life,
Whenever I llost myself,
Like a drop in the sea,
While drowning,
I felt as if I was defeated,
You came,
Gave me confidence,
To fight all problems
You gave me courage to fight,
The darkness and evil
Thou art my angel

You know...

YOU KNOW – 
DR. RAM SHARMA

I don`t know the intensity of love,
You know,
A flower on the altar,
Doesn`t know the purpose,
You know,
A zigzag river flowing,
Doesn`t know the destination,
You know
From where we have come?
And where we have to go?
We don`t know.
But you know

the ocean of Vedic wisdom...

This is my firm opinion , even if there be many different sectarian beliefs prevalent in India , if only they all acknowledge the vedas , then all those small rivers will reunite in the ocean of Vedic wisdom , and the unity of dharma [ religion] will come about.From the unity of dharma there will result social and economic reform , arts and crafts and other human endeavours will improve as desired , and man`s life will find fulfillment , because by the power of that dharma all values will become accessible to him , economic as well as psychological ones, and also the supreme value of moksha[ enlightenment].--Swami Dayanand Saraswati
