She introduces the Source
As the newborn is introduced to its Father
By the Mother

IN the still waters of the pond
In the swirling waters of the whirlpool
In the innocent smile of the child,
In the hand that nurtures, admonishes
And serves, effortlessly, ever selfless
Resides Mother

The still earth that nurtures saint and sinner
With love and patience
Resides Mother

In the ‘lifeless’ idols,
What is ‘lifeless’ when everything is permeated by You?

There is none independent of you
Every atom is permeated by you
Some say you are Durga
Some say Shakti
Yet others Cosmic Energy

Many, many names

For MY MOTHER
There is none other
