The Sadhana of God's Love
is a blissful employment
from rising sunlit tides of dawn
to iridescent dusk
my hymn floods
the rubescent horizon
Spending time with You,
Divine Self
soothes the furrowed brow
heals the broken heart
Lilac shadows steal through the
Prayer room
delicate footprints
Gods and Goddesses
make their presence
known
Happily I ignite
warm, inviting glow
candlight and camphor incense
while settling down softly
in
the blue meditation chair
my gaze ascends
venerated, timeless vedic scriptures
unfold
beautiful words, fragrant pinions
waft through the universe
recalling God's majesty and glory
Hari
!
Your myriad names and leelas
a glorious testament, celebration
to all that is good and virtuous
dances
across my japa mala
anointing body, mind and spirit
with true peace
Gossamer wings brush
past my flushed face
shimmering in the quicksilver luminosity
I feel You so radiantly near
Yes, it is possible
with dedicated devotion
and spiritual practice
for us to experience the
ineffable Presence of God
