Benign Illumination
by -Dr. Roshan Saraf
Illuminate the candle of ignorance with the spark of wisdom; Allow the wick of knowledge to enlighten the aura of your kingdom; Let the brightness of righteousness and truthfulness shine in tandem...

Ash the non-luminous zone of greed and ravish rage; Remove the black mole of imprudence from the lurid page; And measure the rays of compassion with a sparkling gage...

Luminescence of love means care and concern; It vibrates and echoes with joy, pleasure to discern; It radiates the dark path of selfishness - a goal of faithfulness to earn...

Conquer the five forts of self-created limitations; Battle for the self-rule and curb the inner agitations; Kill the demon of whims and cage all the fatuous infiltrations...

Be igneous and virtuous like the tenacious bow of Lord; Be an ace arrow of Divine speed and hit the phobic pod; Submit and surrender to the Holy feet of immortal God...

Yes! Goddess Laxmi from the eternal tower; To an obedient devotee will shower; Her benign bliss in fathomless treasures of Divine power...

On the night of Deepawali, Lord Rama will flow within your circulation; Will wheeze within your inhalation; And will twinkle like a sheeny star of your prosperous illumination...
