Give them to me, O Deity,

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n \n\t\n\t \n\t \n\t \n\t \n\tWhy Poetry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poets are like musical singers,
Who have been sent by the Divine,
To influence the hearts of men,
And turn them back to Self !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romans used to call poets, vates,
Meaning a prophet, a diviner !
Such a celestial title did the noble bestow,
Upon this heart ravishing Gnosis !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Orient, they are Kranta Darshis,
Who have glimpsed Celestial Diameter,
People who are prescient, intuitive,
Who know Time Eternal !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is their Logic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Life, a movement of Self in Time,
Has only a symbolic value.
It is temporal and ephemeral,
And necessary as a Becoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And all Becomings have Being,
As their Goal & Fulfillment,
And Lord is the only Being,
Averrs Overmind Poetry !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poetry & Philosophy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poetry should initiate us,
To Philosophy, averred Plutarch.
Both may be different in the Occident,
But, in the Orient, they are one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No Philosopher exists,
Who is not a Poet !
Without transcendental experience,
None can write Poetry !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poet has global vision,
As he is proximate to Self !
He knows the Jyoti Sastra Kranta,
Kavihi Kranta Darshi !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ultimate victory is his,
Jayanti Te Sukrutino
Who has attained Kaivalya,
Rasa Siddha Kaveeswara !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As their fame body
Knoweth no change,
Remarks Bhartri Hari,
Who attained fame !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poetry & Music<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inextricably linked to Poetry,
Is grand science of Musicology !
Dance, music instrumental and Lyrics,
Constitute Musicology !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lyrics derives from Lyre,
That instrument physical,
Lyrics is the Poetry of Music,
Indeed, the Heart of Music !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Invocation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Occidentals invoke the Muses,
Calliope, Muse of Epic Poetry,
Erato, Muse of Love & Lyrics
And many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paradise Lost begins with
“Sing, Heavenly Muse, how on the top”
Indian Poets begins with,
An invocation to Wisdom Deity”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sarigama padanikal, Devi Nin,
Sangeeta Kala Dhamankal,
Enikku tharoo, manassil oru
Apoorva Ragamay parannu varoo..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Octaves Seven are Thine,
The veins of Art Musical,
Give them to me, O Deity,
Come to me as a rare Raaga ‘<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n \n\t\n\t \n\t \n\t \n\t \n\t
