‘THIRD EYE’ AND ‘SUDARSHANA’



Lord Shiva, the Almighty

Atop the Himalayas

In padmasana

Both hands resting over the knees

His attire a leopard skin

Wrapped around the waist 

Reaching upto the knees.

Flowing dread-locks

Upto the shoulders


A golden serpent around his neck

As ornament.

His body a steely frame

A macho

Ash- pasted on his forehead, third eye in its middle,

Ash- pasted as well on his hands and chest

Serious and rough expression throughout.

Lord Shiva

His three eyes shut

In meditation

Smiling Goddess Parvathy

Always by his side

Dedicated and devoted to him.

Ganga, the fountain of love

Flowing down the dread-locks

To earth

Crystal clear and pure her love

Elixir of life, her love

That too in abundance.

Lord Shiva

The macho figure,

The cosmic dancer

Earth shaking, powerful rhythmic movements his.  


---------------Unlike Krishna,

The blue God

Effeminate in appearance,

Calm, serene, pleasant,

Ever smiling,

Charming, enchanting and seductive his looks

The heart-throb of women

Their eternal lover.

Beauty personified

Mischievous his smiles

Mischievous his looks

His antics,

His pranks,

His flute, a magic wand

His music mellifluous and soothing,

With magical powers,

Like his magical ways,

Dearer to them, dearest to them.

His ‘rasa leela’ with Gopikas

Vying with one another

To be with him

In the garden of Vrindavan

Among colourful and fragrant flowers.

----------------Lord Shiva wake up from your meditation

See the frightening demons, the forces of evil

Dancing around you,

Lord Shiva the Cosmic dancer,

Your earth shaking powerful rhythmic movements

Open thy third eye

Spit fire on the forces of evil,

Reduce them to ashes,

Exorcise their deadly spell,

And save the world.

Lord Krishna, the eternal lover

Aim your Sudarshana

At the forces of evil,

Take away their wicked heads,

Bring us peace,

And Universal harmony.
