Namaste,

Hope you will all enjoy this short poem, written for children by me. (You can substitute India with 'Hinduism', just mentioned India for convenience in writing).


When he served his parents,
God waited patiently for his order
Such was the merit of Pundareeka
And blessed is India where he was born!


When the mummoorthis begged food
Mother Anusooya turned them into babies
And served them breast milk in all chastity
Blessed be to India where she is praised!


To save the dove from the hawk
Emperor Sibi cut out his flesh
And propagated the virtue of non-violence to animals
And praise be to India where he is hailed!


When all devas offered a portion of their grace
Durga emanated and slayed the evil asura
Such is the power of the eternal female
Noble is India where she is worshiped!


When Indra was in a war against asuras
Dadeechi sacrificed himself in his own yogic fire
And weaponed the devas with the mighty Vajrayudha
Glorious is India which carries his legend!


When all his forefathers were burnt down to ashes
Bhageeratha prayed for a thousand years
And brought the mighty Ganga from heaven to earth
Hail to India where his tapas is revered!


So does the so-called service to elders, chastity,
female empowerment, ahimsa's might, yogic tapas,
and the power of sacrifice are still spoken in one land
And blessed be that land, the one and only Indian soil!




Thank you,

Viraja
