Lessons of life, the guru imparting universally,
Receiving teachings from a child humbly
Fruits, honey and milk to propitiate,
One single 'bilva' leaf ..enough to satiate.
Blue throated swallowing of lethal fumes instantaneously,
Releasing the sweetness of immortality for all..selflessly.
The ecstatic moves of the tantric dance,
The stillness of a yogi facing south, deep in trance,
The deafening roar of the 'damaru' resounds,
The pregnant silence therin abounds.
Destruction, dissolving, dissolution,
Rebirth, renewal, resurrection.
Masculine aspect of the Trinity,
Merging with the feminine, ending duality.
Over earth, fire, air, space, he pervades.. in water he cascades,
Through nothingness, he permeates.
He who is auspiciousness,
Shiva, the Brahman, the infinite consciousness.
