Parvati's insight, your beautiful words and Uma's colorful verses just made me sit back and meditate on the greatness of The divine Goddess.. Sometimes, words just don't suffice.. I think I understand what you meant when you said this is not the best that can be offered to Her.. However, its many times better than what I could offer Her.. Hence it was a treat going thru' this post. Thanks to the commentators too. Parvati.. great going!Munmunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15632240598954328744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-1161841230571251232006-10-26T11:10:00.000+05:302006-10-26T11:10:00.000+05:30Dear RS, Thank you for your kind words.

Surprisingly it is the lack that permits plenty and not surfeit.Erotemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677513867884448593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-1161748557094487672006-10-25T09:25:00.000+05:302006-10-25T09:25:00.000+05:30a great idea, and an awesome offering, both to God...a great idea, and an awesome offering, both to Goddess Saraswathi and your readers. on the personal front, this post made me wonder.. what did happen to my creative juices... why cannot I think in such lines? what has become lacking? <BR/><BR/>and this is no flattery, but then, your blog is a great place to be.Rangakrishnan Srinivasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168973002229977040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-1160373584032382242006-10-09T11:29:00.000+05:302006-10-09T11:29:00.000+05:30Dear P, You are God's gift to a blogger. Such ...Dear P,<BR/> You are God's gift to a blogger. Such elaborate comments are a treat. Although I haven't been driven by comments, your comments render this coy smile to a faceless comment and goad me to write more. Thank you for your patient reflection. I am in debt.<BR/><BR/>Dear AW,<BR/> Glad you found it so. :-)<BR/><BR/>Dear Anon-U,<BR/> Thanks for sharing the lyrics as well as Sri Chinmoy's words. Would love to have a glimpse of your paintings, if you would permit. This Saraswathi is extremely gorgeous and might not suit Tanjore painting style. The Saraswathis done in the Tanjore style are not to my taste (pardon me). Have you seen Raja Ravi Verma's Saraswathi? Amazingly beautiful. One could sit for hours on end watching the smiling face of the goddess. Nevertheless, I would still love to be audience to your paintings if you do permit. Have you read the book "The Book of Nothing" by John Barrow? Very interesting account of the naught. Do you write? Do you have a blog too? Glad you liked that image... :-)Erotemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677513867884448593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-1160199821383338502006-10-07T11:13:00.000+05:302006-10-07T11:13:00.000+05:30WOW what an offering:)Thanks for sharing the depth...WOW what an offering:)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing the depths of your mind .<BR/><BR/>There's far too much to take in here <BR/>More to find than can ever be found <BR/>But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky <BR/>Keeps great and small on the endless round <BR/><BR/>[ofcourse Elton john's Circle Of Life Lyrics]<BR/><BR/>so here i go<BR/><BR/>Allow me to share this with you...<BR/>[ Mahasaraswati ]<BR/> <BR/>Thy Heart of music-Fire <BR/><BR/>consumes our drowse, <BR/><BR/>Nowhere our journey ends. <BR/><BR/>Thy patience unknown all souls <BR/><BR/>must learn from Thee <BR/><BR/>To march through immortal lands. <BR/><BR/>We hurt Thy Heart's arabesque supreme <BR/><BR/>of bliss. <BR/><BR/>Ever unplumbed is thy Truth. <BR/><BR/>Our sheaths' afflicted roots imbibe thy Grace; <BR/><BR/>In Thee the tapestry of Truth. <BR/><BR/>All worlds with ignorance blind immerse <BR/><BR/>in Thy Light, <BR/><BR/>O Queen of perfection-seal <BR/><BR/>Thy birth of Lore supreme within us bursts <BR/><BR/>And makes us eternal, free. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Saraswati<BR/>[Excerpt from The Dance Of The Cosmic Gods by Sri Chinmoy...] <BR/><BR/><BR/>What a beautiful image of the Goddess<BR/>May be should grab it and make it mine?<BR/>I do dabble in Tanjore style of painting the Gods and Godesses...another passion, that's all.<BR/>But La-saraswati sounds french...haha<BR/><BR/>yes 18 well structured verses <BR/>Guess i need to ponder over.<BR/>But, Zero is not nothing, right?didnt Robert Heinlein say something like -A Martian could spend the whole trip contemplating the subtle difference between zero and nothing."..?<BR/><BR/>and "what shall remain is this" ...is a touching image<BR/><BR/><BR/>(*_*)<BR/><BR/>UmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
