Always certain about the violent and calm sea
Knowing the boundaries jotted in God's own Map....
They explored nature's architecture
Binki Blinked with the moon on sea,
Valentine romanced with naughty salty deep sea.
In that air mixed with wisdom, freedom and thraldom of nature's love
Giant and small fish played with their curiosity, adversity & density
Those flying fish caught their eyes,
They played hide and seek with their nets.
Majestic deep sea had nothing but - romance as an offing;
For that Night filled with abundance of trance.
Their fun was envied by two stars above
Watching the play of Binki and Valentine with fun, like a gaun-
Wishing at least a moment of human life,
Wishing Nirvana from Star Studded life
In that Luminous and mysterious universe....
They Prayed eternally to higher gods for a moment of -
that blissfull and majestic human life.
God Smiled with wisdom,
Abstaining and outlining the outcome,
He deferred to grant - supreme human life !!!
But persistent cry from stars pushed him to limit.
On that fifteenth day of February
Granting the two stars - human life &
Granting the two humans- stars life;
Matter was put to rest in Gods Own court !!!!

Its water around
Tried catching a glimpse of
that eternal land of gods......
and that envied canopy of natures love
but its water around, with endless boundaries....
Dipped deep, to see her ethereal beings
mesmerized by her creative brilliance
she kept me aloof in her depth
Oh!! Can't hold this tightening breath....
Pushed back to get that smelly air....
No sign of that land....that divine land...
Maa...the soul cried with daunting thoughts
With no other go, swimming further
Maa...Oh divine.. this voyage never ends....
Spirit, endless spirit pushed further....
Actionable body has shrugged
A non energetic divine wisdom
occuppies the restless space.
Further travel seems hopeless,
let it drown with hopes of hopeless....
Oh!! Ethereal beings enjoy this dinner
Under that endless sky
with smiling stars and curious moon......
Oh!! Ethereal Beings enjoy this dinner.....

A crafted gift that eternal hath designed,
A half minded wind blew through the face
A drop of water kissed the cheeks...
An unshaped darkness descended,
A thunder struck from the heavens,
A mystic poem is in the offing by nature,
Earth smiled with her thunderous roar.
Ecstatic mind sang with the branches of trees.
Left & right they swung with the dancing wind,
Clouds awaited the god's order with patience- endless:
Delighted Sun withdrew his mighty force
And the communion of earth & rain began........

In that unknown hour of night
A revered silence embraced the darkness
A flame ascends the womb of Sreesamma
Succumbing to the call of nature’s pain
She delivered a baby girl-Padmasini.
Sreesamma embraced her own self
Thanking the eternal realms above,
Casting an eye on the clouds above…
She prayed for wisdom to the new born divine.
The vital force of Padmasini burned alive
An immobile trans passed through her flesh
She communed with the sound of goddess
And she registered the sounds in Padmasini’s glowing soul
Sa Ri Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa…….
Days sped with a content force
Nature took it’s course on Padmasini
Time hath come to fill the right hand force,
Marriage was written on the cards below.
At an age of sublime divinity, a toy she felt of sacred thread
Narasimhachar smiled at her innocence
She tied the thread with prayers in mind
To that beautiful shyness in Mandapa,
The clouds above stopped their march to gaze at her endless beauty.
A musical dream her father had,
veena was gifted in the hands of this divine
she plucked the strings with infinite grace,
a lightening struck the skies above.
Motherhood embedded in female’s life
Knowing this nature’s law -9 took shape in her womb.
An ardous craft took to bring them up,
In those expanding days and nights
A fire filled heart surrendered to veena’s strings,
Managing the house with graze envied…….
The labour started at Gandharva yama
And continued till dawn with lovable glory in her eyes,
In this limited time allotted.
With an ancient sweetness she plucked the veena
In this hectic task, solace was in veena force.
Dancing to the tunes she played
The butterfly found wisdom in her room
Laughing to the tunes she played
The jasmine haunted the room behind her hair
Muttered in beauty of ragas she played
The plants around smiled with tranquil goose bum
She played with grace, signaling god’s sound
The world watched with curiosity ……
Padmasini’s fingers obey the god’s order……..

About this poem:
Musical Journey of Padmasini Narasimhachar
Padmasini Narasimhachar is a name that is synonymous with the world of veena players in Bengaluru. This flawless veena player was born on 1932 in Mysore, Karnataka to Sampath Iyengar and Sreesamma, a family that had musical syllables embedded in their daily life . Her father had prolific thala gnana to the extent that he used to play ghatam without formal training in the instrument .
She got married to Narasmihachar at the age of 12. Her formal veena training was instituted at the age of 13 under the guidance of Sreenivas Bhatt, after a short stint of 8 months with Sreenivas bhatt, she had further guidance from H.S Krishnamurthy. The call of mother hood came to her at the age of 16 and from then on she turned out to be the mother of 9 children.
Though the labor of managing a big family as a mother and also as a devoted wife was arduous, she never let lethargic values rule her world, rather was content with veena learning. Unlike these days machines did not support running a household, rather mothers of those days had to depend on traditional methods to ensure food and cleanliness in the household. The physical labour for running a household was a painstaking process, but to the credit of this mother of Nine, she found time for veena practice during the early morning hours between 3.a.m to 5.a.m and evening during 6.30 p.m -8.p.m. !
This thriving spirit of vision envisaged on the realms of music engulfed a tremendous energy on her, resulting in producing a fine veena player in the history of Carnatic music. Her first concert was on the auspicious day of Sri Rama Navami in Mysore. Mother has seldom given open consort’s, rather was more content in passing on her authentic, traditional and rhythmic classical knowledge to seekers of Carnatic music which continues till date. However she always performs during Thyagaraja Aradhana as a tribute to her Guru. For almost 30 years she passed on her knowledge in an institute – Shree Sarada Sangeetha Vidyalaya, with almost 60-70 students attending the classes every year. These students were trained from Junior Veena to Vidwath Examination.
Her commitment and dedication to veena is beyond words and the hardships passed through in obtaining this godhead knowledge are enviable. Padamasini Narasimhachar puts her knowledge filled wisdom in simple words ‘I do not know from where I drew the strength to manage such a big family & play veena. It was not done with any materialistic intentions but was done only with the sheer passion for wisdom. Without the blessings of Perumal it wouldn’t have been possible – I am thankful to him”.
It’s this sheer surrender, passion and bhakthi for the divine instrument that lifts her status quo in this planet. A status quo of godliness envisaged by many……..

Oh Clouds above sing along
For I travel to Shimoga
With my soul-Veena
An embrace on her enchanting beauty,
A fathomless solace engulf the spirit
An inexpressible appreciation she deserves
Traveling near to the ethereal
A harmonic whisper she produce
Filling the void of this seeker,
Edifying this mind her strings dance.
Oh! Tress Sing along
For I travel to shimoga
With my soul-Veena
Appealing to the spirit of ears
A vital gratification she sheds
Heard in the earthly breeze-her sound
A cosmic being her body is
An endless passion overshadows
To be thy half in this birth and in the births to come.
Oh Stars Above-Mother Kaveri, Sing along
For I travel to Shimoga
With my soul veena

An appointment letter was handed over
Corporate battle hath begun in his life
Targets were assigned in tune with vision
Rivalry was visible in smiling faces
With greed and lust he started the labour
Nothing but victory was in his dreams
Lying and cunning was the order of the day
The sun has set on this gloomy day
He drank his cup of fancy dreams
Peace was not seen in the bank account
Solace was not felt in the diamond collection
The lee lang days hath taken it away
dusted with the misty clime
fed up with the faithless snaws
In the sandy beech, with a deep sigh filled
He lay, half mad, half filled, thirsty.....
Wanderin' in the cities, and jungles
Wanderin' in the mountains and rivers
Wanderin' in the villages and pubs
A rampant search hath begun for the lost solace
Unable to drench in happiness
Enabled by wrath of sadness
He decided to quit from this confused play...
Alas! a click he heard...the seeker was active
An inner song whispered thus#
'Oh! Divine..Iam beyond matter
Iam beyond manifestation
Evolve beyond your mind
Master your life force
Be the principle to nothingness.
Draw a sketch of your supramental force
Defects are a fundamental character
For it's human to earth
The stage of change would be slow
Strata of a semi divine would come at first
Embrace the change
and consume the force
Highest level of possibility
Would reach you soon'
A radiant smile glit up his face
Unanswered question props up again
'But what about the work that I do?'
'Do the work in holiness
Cease from work as well
conduct both with bliss supreme
The better was is this
Refrain not from the work assigned'

Through the immortal sunlight
A ray pierced the soul
Through the romantic moonlight
A ray pierced the soul
Through the dreamy galaxies
A ray pierced the soul
Through the depths of ocean
A ray pierced the soul
A silent spark is ignited
beneath the mind
The majestic serpent lifted it's head
The psychic being broke the clouded screen
A half divine flame burst around
The mental synthesis rejected the temptations
Intellectual logic,huh!! laid in the dust bin
Through inaccessible routs it traveled
neither glory, nor passion, nor love, nor hatred,
nor matter, nor wisdom, nor youth
It wished...
A brisk of nothingness it embraced
Each matter had eternal, it gazed
Rarest jewel, discovered deep within
The manifestation was an ageless art
but the play of omniscient...
Resplendent being jumped with joy...
Realizing the abundant purity,
Playing with the jungle of peace,
hidden within...

Rain has passed leaving her legacy behind
Gone are those days...
When trees kissed welted leaves
When Flock of birds hyperventilated
When rattles were clattered
When fragrant lotus slept with coolant waters
When Anthurium sprinkled nature's sweat
When skies were embraced by congeries of clouds
.....
Announcing her mighty force
Winter hath come
And the glorious days came
With huddles of snow
With an unending force to crack her beautiful lips
With a determined soul to arouse passion
With a will to hide the orange sun
With a pleasant and immaculate moonshine
With a shyness to arouse passion and lust
With a night Full of cluttered and lacklustre stars
....
Announcing her mighty force
Winter hath come
She had blocked the ventilator
Unable to bear the pricking cold
Chilled by the moonbeams of moon
Gazing at the ornamented sky
Thinking & Smiling about the errors of mating
She approached her beloved with an ethereal smile
He waited for her arrival
A stream of love overflowed his body
Smelling the fragrance that she had applied
An irritant mind poked him through out
To submiss the wavering mind
A recreational drink was offered
Her footsteps were heard
A breath of sigh fell in the room
Amused at her beauty on this winter night
He spake thus#
'A hundred births lie before me
To grasp thee in my arms , O Goddess
Even if the world taketh you away from me
I shall pursue you with a hunters will'
Speaking thus he laid his hands on her cheek
And drew her shy lips to share his love
Some where in the clouds
Passionate stars recorded this love
That winter night hath come
She arouse the next morning after a longish night
To find a aching bust
Thanks, to last nights escapade
Kissing him again this amatuer girl
Had a lovingness that only...
A winter night could build in natures land

Where is the seed that I had sown
crying or laughing? Did she grew
I recollect the days#
Her body was fit to manifest the eternal
Inside the womb of mother's soil
A body took shape,
Enjoying the god's symphony
Consuming a little food mother hath taken
And time came with vociferous force,
A methodical plan god had drawn
Exerting the joy of pressure, earth had cried,
Tearing the womb apart, she gazed at her mother....
A moment of stillness brushed the air
Joy of tears gushed in earth's quivering face
Rain touched the sand
Blessing the new born divine
Possessing an immortal consciousness
Forgetting the future ahead
With a tempting smile stick on her face
She was drawn to her karmic laws
Before the play was enjoyed by the child
Naming ceremony was envied by all,
Mother earth whispered in the ears, 'Banyan'.
Banyan, A will she combated to crush the tamasic force
A resemblance of divine, her body was
An errant marvel she carried around
Budha and Krishna felt solitude in her shade,
Omniscient god proud at her growth,
Mother earth possessed an imperishable happiness,
Amused at her daughter's beauty.
John, Where is the seed that I had sown?
John#
"Before the youth days hath passed
A human came running
She had sensed the death knell of greed
Criying to the mother
Begging for some more time
For ozone layer was picking up pace
And the work that was destined
Remained unfinished
When she was bruised
A cry was heard aloud, neighborhood had heard
knife was plunged at her heart?
Stopping her cry
Keeping her grief to her own soul
Praying for the killer
She succumbed to human's greed
An ephemeral joy hit the human face"
Nooooooooo............
John, Where is the seed that I had sown
Where is my beloved?
In the timber wood store
Or another table for dinner?

Battle of Afghan hath begun
Relentless spirit of a Mater mind on end,
Brilliance of the earth's best army on another,
Between the unending spirit of two
Lay the hopes of Eastern Mother's & West Mother's.
Afrah hath not sighted her beloved
Hunger had struck her hut for long
Prayers were cast with celestial strength
For her child had vested hopes in future
A knock on the door she felt that day
Rushed to the door with unending hopes
Aghast# Irfan's corpse lay breathless at her breast !
Angela monitored the news with hope
A beloved was waiting in her womb
Passionless days past in her calendar
Suffering the hunted pain of mother hood
She arouse to a ringing bell
Measuring her thoughts opened the door
Aghast# John hath returned in a state of coma !
Days and night hath passed in Afghan
Vultures enjoyed the winter-fall profits
Suffering mothers raised their head
Fronting their gaze, a Grand drousy figure stood
With grandeur passion it laughed and said
"I am Thanatos-Demon personification of death"

Holding the fruit of hard day's labour
Mother slept embracing the terrible migraine.
The door bell rang
His cry is more than audible
Snatching the money from her, stabbed at her temple
To defend the body god given
The secret serpant drew her strength
Snatching the knife hidden behind
She plunged at the asura's breathing heart.
Law took her mighty force,Long term prison was the verdict
Unable to understand the dance of hunger
Wretched mind plunged on me
Snatching a shiva's photo
I ran to quench my thirst
Mind's will pulled me through
Gazing at the pakoda's
I stopped at this hotel
Dropping a tear of fear, Pleading an ounce of water
I walked to this stable man
Gazing at his balance sheet of profit
Calculating the P/E ratio's
A job was offered to my mind
Dejected at the fate of this soul
Praying to the all pervading Neelkanth
The undreamed offer was accepted,
Life licked my oozing blood
Time took it's course
This body attended to the need of nature
To some it was an 'almond blossom'
Surprised by the beauty of the flesh
Some mocked, Most watched with hiding eyes.
Mastering the art of cooking
Accumulating the wealth of need
I jumped from the kitchen of hell
I met this angel of an Instrument
Amused by the power of veena
An unborn love had awake
Seeking Guru's blessings, touching Shiva's feet
I embraced her superfluous body
Disowning the legacy of the darkened past
A new life had begun in Kali ghat
Sa Ri Ga Ma Pa dha ni sa....
The world reckoned the nude talent
As I played at fine arts Hall
With terrestrial eyes she witnessed,
Her face gleaming with joy, drowned in tears
The past of suffering exhaust
Dropping my love at the mandapa
Laying flat at her feet
I longed to hear the colloquy ....
'May the eternal bless you daughter'

Sinking in the blueness of the sea,
Walking in the wetness of the beach,
Surrendering her soul to him,
Moving with breeze of the life,
She talked with her soul mate
Enjoying the freedom of weekend.
The night arrived in her majesty,
With her cousins, fathers and forefathers around.
The party waited for the couple,
The dance of selflessness began.
Holding a drink on the hand,
Dancing with a dream on the head,
Drenching in the taste of Somarasa,
Smoking a chill of Marijuana,
She danced with all her beauty
He withdrew from the drink of nectar.
Aphrodite's cosmic force set different plans,
He set his eyes on another apsara,
Her heavenly adornment robbed his imagination.
Ignoring the partner's inept love
He pleaded psychic bonding to the apsara
Winking and smiling at his plea,
She fixed the rate for the night.
Dropping his partner in the bed
Conquered by the lust's gift
Smiling with greed's dream
He spent the night by apsara's vibrations,
returning the hostility with extra force.
As night withdrew from her karma,
He walked back to his partner
Sun rolled his fingers over her serene face
She woke up to the tune of koel's music
To Find her soul by her side
Preparing a pot of coffee
Humming a tune from 'Sincerity'
Dropping a tear for yesterdays drenches
He smiled at her tear,
Unknowing the perilous outcome of his karma.
Unity lost her hope,
Harmony had intellectual preoccupations.
'Thy beloved had already lost, dear.'
Aphrodite cried, repending the force she exerted
On this sunny day, the room chose to kiss darkness....
