 A Poem For Easter On Good Friday, The Saint Christ gave up his life, He made an ultimate sacrifice, For all of mankind to rise! The blood dripped from The Cross, Great souls let their lives talk. Three days after Holy Friday, By his resurrection, The Saint showed The Way, The message was crystal clear, Goodness can never die, Though it will be subject to many a trial!                                                 Dr.S.Padmapriya

 My poem on the great Jain monk, Bahubali!   Bahubali   A Tribute to the Jain monk, Bahubali O Bahubali! Vajrarsabhanaracasamhanana*, Master of Vindhyagiri*, I have come to worship you, I have come to see you. With my eyes fixed upon your glowing face, And my soul bent with humility and compassion, To see one who has attained kayotsarga*, The realised one, I have come. Who has mastered Kevala Gnana*, Son of Rishabhanatha and Sunanda, Brother of Bharatha, The most respected of Theerthankaras*, Protagonist of Adi Purana*, Praised by mahakavi* Pampa, O Gommateshwara* built by Chavundaraya, An illustrious commander of the dynasty Ganga, You who were born in holy Ayodhya, I have come to you, To meet you at your temporary abode at Shravanabelagola, Before you left for the eternal abode of Mount Kailasha, I have come to see you. Blessings from the heavens, This holy ordainment,  To write about you, Human redemption from forces destroying innocence, With your eternal benign presence  Today as

  Poem Basant Panchami  Let us fall into a reverie, A kind of sweet surreal sleep, With all of nature and existence, After the year's tiring and exhaustion.  The air brings sweet fragrances, Nature seems engrossed in communion, Basant Panchami is the beginning, Of the spring season.  Let us worship Goddess Saraswati, To fill us with creative energy, The lucky ones will take a dip in the Triveni, Let's end prejudice and hegemony.  Romantic is this season, It is not without a reason, Rati and Kama, Are coming with joyful frissons!  Dr. S. Padmapriya

 Flowers Flowers unplucked live longer, Maidens are like flowers, The fragrance of their beauteousness, Dissolve all differences and disturbances. 'Baran' or 'Hathras', 'Nirbhaya' or an 'Abhaya', Names of places or persons, Are of little consequence, When living souls are sacrificed, To satisfy the hunger of a perverted conscience! Not to be plucked or, Crushed, stampeded or brutalised, The wonderful flower of myriad temperaments, Remember she is, Someone's daughter, friend or sister, Wife, mother or lover! Remember - love forced, Is not real love to begin with, Flowers unplucked live longer! S.Padmapriya
