HOW. TO. CO-EXIST. WITH. CORONA ?

By now it must have dawned on everyone
Unwittingly,  we are in a soup, all and one.
Despite a chain of lock-down and unlocks
We're getting coiled in Corona loop, anon.

There pervades an air of  alarm all around
Of getting  hounded by the Corona hound.
Nevertheless, Corona is just another virus
Of the infinite viruses that don't confound.

There’s one Dr. Khader Vali, a nutritionist
Who  helps the  harried  populace, untwist.
He offers a way out, by way of The Millet 
That makes viable, with viruses to co exist.

Om Shantih

GURU'S DAY 2020

We are all too familiar with the stock word guru.
On a daily basis, we come across a fashion guru
A soccer guru, and not surprisingly, a marketing guru.
Wheedling with them, we miss out on the GURU!

We are cosy, making guru compatible with teacher
As a teacher is cognizable with an assigned feature.
Talk of features and a smart phone outstrips a teacher.
It is a lot more smart than being messenger or beeper!

A Guru's role is ubiquitous as a Dispeller of Darkness.
Like a bright star the Guru overwhelms the Darkness
And grants to the seeker, once in a lifetime opportunity
To navigate to the ultimate source of Luminousness!

Luminousness is what we experience as Blessedness
Because it is the very stuff of Cosmic Consciousness
It is Omnipresent, and Omnipotent, and Omniscient
Glory be to the Guru, who leads us to Luminousness!

Om Shantih
