 Best Christmas Ever     Michael was a little boy whose parents seemed to be always fighting. Nevertheless they were one of those special couples, who could always get back together after every tiff. Every time, there was a clash at home, little Michael would feel wretched. But today, on Christmas Eve, matters seemed a bit different to Michael.      In the morning, his parents had given him many gifts. They were wonderful gifts. His happiness had known no bounds. Michael knew that he had no reason to complain. But now, it was evening time. Michael could hear his parents’ voices get louder and louder. His old fears returned to haunt him. Soon, Michael heard the sound of his father’s footsteps on the staircase near his room. As soon as his father entered his room, he began to speak to him. “Michael, I am going away. I am not able to get along with your mother. I don’t plan to return home, ever again.”          Michael helped his father to pack his box of belongings. Then his father left

  *First Rays* Jenny woke up as the first rays of the sun fell on her face. She got up and showered. She then  prepared 'breakfast' for 'her family'. As she sat down to eat, she noticed the orange-red sun  descend into the horizon. She then realised that something was 'amiss'. She glanced at the square  clock above the main door of her house. The clock struck six times. Perhaps, it was 'evening'. Dr.S.Padmapriya

 A Great Soul (A poem on Mahatma Gandhi) Great souls are not made In gyms or fashionable parlours but in  Foundries producing human castings; the  Soul is melted in the heat of sufferings And carefully wrought great souls are brought out. He fought imperialism by resistance with truth Satyagraha. He had a child like heart and  Said that the education of a child begins with  Conception. He shed tears at animal sacrifice Even in temples. He preached and practised ‘Ahimsa - non-violence’    ‘Brahmacharya – celibacy’ ‘Satyagraha – resistance with truth’ and ‘Aparigraha – non-possession’; Living  A righteous life and suffering. Winning  Goodwill. Rendering service in a spirit of joy. Great souls are not made In gyms or fashionable parlours but in  Foundries producing human castings; the  soul is melted in the heat of  sufferings And carefully wrought great souls are brought out.

His Excellency DR.A.P.J.ABDUL KALAM (A tribute to our beloved 'Missile Man') Published in 'Poet' By S.Padmapriya The King is the King, His empire stretches far and wide, Omnipresent in minds and hearts, Omnipotent encompassing all, He commands hearts, From atop his Raisina Throne. He does not brandish weapons, Towards none he bears ill will, He rules with his intellect, Combined with childlike gentleness, He is a man with a mission, A developed and fearless India is his vision. His vocation is science and technology, Kindness and integrity is his methodology, Poet, writer, scholar, scientist, He is many men in one 'Vision 2020', 'Wings of Fire', His ideas prolific pour strength, Igniting the minds of his countrymen. How many hurdles, Must have been crossed, To reach this zenith? Undoubtedly, an infinite! He overcomes trials every minute, His calm smiling face burying all of it. His words and deeds, Is forever etched in our mi

 The Breaking of the Bastille Long ago, The Bastille was broken; Out emerged warriors of freedom, Chanting, ‘liberty, equality, fraternity’. Years later, Terror has struck human hearts! Humans live half-dead, And sleep half- alive; Fear is rampant here and there, Fear must be trampled, everywhere. Let us strive to reach heights, phenomenal, Making lives, sensational, Dreams come true, It takes dreams to make the truth happen. God, grant us fairy wings, A nectar- soaked soul to break unholy rings, Let us harness our creative sensibilities, Bring to suppressed people - an opportunity, To live with dignity. Happy must be young minds, Eternal joy is what it must find. Happiness is full of sensibility, Sorrow must become impossibility. We will reach our destination, A destination Worthy of inspiration! Some men can chain bodies, Who can chain the spirits? The spirits are always free! They will fly to the destination of their dreams, Screaming with maddening joy, Celebrating with stupefying

 Poet Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyaya wrote Vande Mataram.

 Poem Night   Some silence finally descends on noisy mortals Who swim against the waves Of the day. Night... Dreams return As dimpled smiles. Night... The day sleeps Reassuringly. Night... Restorer of the spirit Unfolding its beauty. Night... Fall of the final The spirit will go home Never to return at all. But the show must go on, And a new Hero will sit On the throne, Which was one's yours. S.Padmapriya

 யோகா பற்றிய சுருக்கமான அறிமுகம்  டாக்டர்.எஸ்.பத்மப்ரியா,  எழுத்தாளர், சென்னை, தமிழ்நாடு, பாரதம்  யோகா என்ற சொல் சமஸ்கிருத வார்த்தையான 'யுஜ்' என்பதிலிருந்து உருவானது, அதாவது 'சேர்வது'. யோகா என்பது நல்லிணக்கம். பகவத் கீதையின்படி, சமத்வம் யோக உச்யதே. மனிதனில் உள்ள மூன்று அடிப்படை குணங்களை (தமஸ், ரஜஸ் மற்றும் சத்வ) சமநிலைப்படுத்த யோகா உதவுகிறது.  பண்டைய பாரதத்தின் மகரிஷி பதஞ்சலி யோகாவின் தந்தை என்று கருதப்படுகிறார். யோகா மன அழுத்தத்தை நீக்குகிறது மற்றும் மனம், உடல் மற்றும் ஆன்மாவை ஒருங்கிணைக்க உதவுகிறது. யோகா வலியை நீக்க உதவுகிறது. யோகாவில் பல்வேறு உறுப்புகள் உள்ளன. அவை யமம், நியமம், ஆசனம், பிராணாயாமம், பிரத்யாஹாரம், தாரணை, தியானம் மற்றும் சமாதி.  ஆசனம் உடலின் ஒரு நிலையான தோரணையை பராமரிக்கிறது. யோகா நம் ஆரோக்கியத்தை மேம்படுத்துகிறது மற்றும் நம்மை அமைதியாகவும் மகிழ்ச்சியாகவும் வைத்திருக்கும்.  யோகாவை வெறும் வயிற்றில் மட்டுமே செய்ய வேண்டும். யோகா செய்ய சிறந்த நேரம் காலை அல்லது மாலை குளிர் நேரங்களில். ஒருவரது உடல் நிலைகளுக்கு ஏற்ற யோகாக்களை மட்டுமே செய்ய வேண்டும்.

 A Brief Introduction to Yoga  Dr.S.Padmapriya, Author, Chennai, Tamilnadu, Bharat  The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word, 'Yuj' which means 'to join'. Yoga is Harmony. According to the Bhagavad-Gita, Samatvam Yoga Uchyate. Yoga helps in balancing the three fundamental Gunas( Tamas, Rajas and Sattva) in the human being.     Maharishi Pathanjali of ancient Bharat is considered to be The Father of Yoga. Yoga removes stress and helps to unify the mind, body and soul. According to ancient seers, Yoga helps to remove pain. There are different limbs in Yoga. They are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. Even if one limb is perfectly followed, other limbs will follow.   Asana is maintaining a steady posture of body. Yoga improves our health and keeps us peaceful and happy.    Yoga must be done only on an empty stomach. The best time to do Yoga is in the cool hours of the morning or evening. One must do only those yogas, which are s

 When I die  When I die, Keep two flowers by my side, The resting soul will think, That it is remembered by!  When I die, Don't be angry with me, I too might have erred, I am not perfect...I agree!  When I die, Don't cry, There are better things to do, Than wish the dead 'Bye'!  Still, it shall prithee my heart, That someone remembers me, Apogee or absentee, When from this Human Ruckus, I shall be finally free! S.Padmapriya

 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
