The Lord of the Universe : A Poem

I bow in the feet of the one,

By whose grace exists the magnificent sun,

And by whose power the very fabric of time exists,

 by taking whose very name his devotees are blissed.

He is the lord of the three worlds,

With his power every flower unfurls.

The one who is beyond death,

They are blessed,

Those who remember him till their last breath.

I bow in the feet of the one,

Who has the sun, the moon and fire as his eyes,

And he who always hears his devotees ‘s cries!

The one who is worshipped by the sacred panchakshari,

And whose divine consort is mother bhuvaneshwari.

Every whisper in Nandikeshwara’s ears,

Even in the deepest of his trances he hears.

He is the lord of the five elements,

It is he who controls all events.

I bow in the feet of the one

who dwells within everyone,

And he who is the fiercest Rudra,

Yet ,the most graceful Ishana.

The most powerful Trident he wields,

His devotees, from every adversity he shields.

Smeared with ashes he is the primordial yogi,

His very name is the bestower of mukti.

I bow in the feet of the one

who is more radiant than a thousand suns.

The universe moves because of his cosmic dance,

AUM resounds his meditative trance.

The most compassionate,

Yet the most detached,

In the entire universe his glory is unmatched,

But then the universe is his personification

He is the creator, he the creation.

I bow in the feet of the one,

By whose grace exists the magnificent sun

And by whose power the very fabric of time exists,

by taking whose very name his devotees are blissed.

Om Namah Shivaya !🙏
