OM NAMO SADA AMULYA ANANDA PRADATHAYA NAMAHA
MY GOD WILL BE WITH ME ALL THE TIME
God Almighty; my beloved Master
I am praying for your darshan from past three hours
But I am unable to have Your Darshan
Decided to continue my prayers, till you appear to me
Three hours passed; it became twenty four;
But there is no sign of Swamiji anywhere
Let me take the challenge, as you taught me, there
I closed my eyes, concentrated on divine smile, of Your
God! My heart and mind filled with you,
Hours became days, days turned to weeks
But there was no sign of My Swamy’s arrival
My depression motivated; I intensified my prayers
Weeks became month, twelve months completed
My patience died; in anger and agony I questioned
“God! Why you neglected me? Why you don’t care for me?”
Surprised to see my God, my beloved Swamy by my side
He smiled and questioned
“Who said that I am not here?
The day you started pooja I was with you
When you involved in deep prayer
I gave you food and water;
I made you relax and sleep;
I energized your acts and pooja”
I realized God’s presence throughout and recollected all
I fell at his feet; washed his feet with tears.
Swamy! I am a fool; I did not recognize you
I wept in guilty; prayed for his mercy
God of Kindness took me into his arms
Blessed me with his infinite love and care
I learnt a lesson
My Master will be with me in joy and peace
He holds me in his arms
When I am in trouble and misery.

OM NAMO NITHYA HARSHAMANASAYA NAMAHA
GOD’S SMILE
My God's smile is so beautiful
Astonished flowers forgot to smile
Anandeswar's smile is so wonderful
A ray of smile can build heavens of joy
Master's smile is so fascinating
No one can escape from its arrest
Gurudev's smile is so sweet
Honey has to rethink about its status
Beloved Swamiji's smile is so bright
Sun and Moon are visiting in shifts
Nityananda's smile is so graceful
A glance at it redeems our pains
Paramahamsa's smile is so divine
It leads us to Nityanandam

OM NAMO BRHMA RUSHIYE NAMAHA
MAN AND MASTER
Raja Madhava Varma Was an emperor to a great kingdom. He was blessed with all the riches in the world. His counterparts envy him as the luckiest king on the earth and the king also had confidence that he was the happiest person in the world.
One day he went hunting into the deep forest and missed his people. He travelled for a long time and he and his horse were tired. He was searching for an ashram or a tribal colony to get some water and food.
On the way he found a yogi sitting under a tree. His face was bright with happiness. There was a beautiful smile on his face. The king was surprised to see a person simply sitting under a tree on the bare ground, without any shelter, so happy. King went close to him and Yogi opened his eyes and took the king to his ashram. His disciples offered king water and fruits.
The king was continuously observing the same beautiful smile and happiness on the face of iushi. He asked him, “Swamiji! Without any comfort or luxury you are very happy. If you are provided with all the luxuries, how happy will you be? I wanted to see that happiness on your face.”
Rishi replied with the same smile, “I will be like this in any position, any where. Richness or poverty cannot make any difference in my happiness.”
The king said firmly, “No Swamiji. I am very sure if you come with me to my palace there will be a big difference in your happiness. Please come with me.”
Rishi wanted to make Raja know about yogis and Rishis. He went with the king to his palace. The king gave him the best accommodation, best clothes and food. He appointed very beautiful maids to serve him.
The king continuously observed the Rishi. But he could not find any difference in his happiness. After one week, he approached Rishi and said, “Swamy! How is it possible that you are not bubbling with happiness with all these riches? How and why? If I were in your position I would have been very happy.”
Swamy replied with the same smile. “Raja! Come with me. I will show you the difference between you and me.” Rishi made the king walk in the forest. The king was very tired. He made the king relax on the ground and gave raw fruits and roots to eat. The king suffered a lot. But Rishi enjoyed all these with the same happiness.
Again the king questioned how it was possible. Rushi said “Raja I am not attached to anything in the world. It may be pain or pleasure; poverty or richness. All are the same for me. I accept both with the same love. I cannot find any difference between a palace and a hut. But you cannot detach from pain and pleasure. For you and me pain is there, I don’t suffer but you suffer. You undergo a frequent mood swing which creates all problems. You hang to it and if it is pain you suffer; if it is pleasure you enjoy. Raja, try to understand that this life is for celebration. I celebrate every moment but you don’t. This is the difference between you and me.”
The king now realized the core reason for problems and troubles. He thanked Swamiji for giving him a life turning lesson and left to his palace with real richness in heart and eternal happiness in his being.

OM NAMO ASRITHA JANA RAKSHAKAYA NAMAHA
DROPS OF HONEY – MASTER’S WORDS
When a droplet of Your divine honey slipped on my tongue
The words of prayers gush out like Akasa Ganga
When Your Holy Hand touched my head
All miseries and troubles flew away like eagles
When my forehead touched Your holy Feet
Fate and misfortune inscribed on it changed to fortunes
When a beam of wisdom from Your Eyes passed on me
My foolish mind generated genius thoughts
When a ray of light from Your Divine Simile flashed
My short sighted eyes were able to see vision of future
When the power of Your meditative words entered into me
My deteriorated organs in body energized to serve you
When I have Your Darshan
All my sins washed away in currents of Ananda Ganga.

RIDDLE; WHAT IS IT?
It is Born in burning fire of desire But it is not luxury It lives in pleasant thoughts of mind But it is not friendship It grows in shining plans of heart But it is not desire It enhances and motivates life But it is not promise It creates unbelievable hunger and thirst But it is not knowledge It gives unending sweet dreams But it is not love It pours unanswerable questions But it is not wisdom It disturbs and distracts But keeps us alive and active What is it? Can you make a guess? It is thirst for Ananda Darshan of God.

OM NAMO NAVA SWARGA NIRMATHAYA NAMAHA
UNKNOWN DREAM HEAVEN
I want to run away from the world of worries
I divorced my desires, wants, pleasures and problems
I destroyed depression, stress and agony my enemies
I wanted to run away to my unknown dream heavens
I want to know where is my dream land.
It is a land where love and care are rules of the day
Wisdom, win-win are the heart games of the land
Songs and dance; fun and play are the order of the day
In my unknown heaven
Every soul is humble; every heart is lovable
Every hand is helpful; every touch is comfortable
Every word is joyful; every man is grateful
I pray to you; tell me, can I reach my land? I am hopeful
In my unknown wonderland
No narrow rooms or lanes; very big halls and wide hearts
No polluted deeds nor thoughts; only true love and pure smiles
No pains only gains; No curses, only blessings
Will I reach my dream heaven, is the distance many miles?
In my unknown beautiful land
All people speak language of love
They eat and drink merry and joy
Sleep with sweet dreams; wake up with energies
No restrictions, no controls; all are free birds
To my unknown heaven
Can any body show me the way to my land?
That is more beautiful than heaven
Can you give the address of my dream land?
Send the address to my ID “Dream_3ˢᵗ Millennium”.

GOD! ARE YOU ANGRY WITH ME?
God my Creator
Are you angry with me?
I am sure You will Punish me
God, my beloved Master
Are you angry with me?

You are born for me

My child,
Don't worry
Re start again
Practice once again
My Blessings will be with you
O! God of Infinite Love
I forgot what you taught me
I left your way long back
I changed my destination totally
I said 'I don't want you and
Declared, 'I hate you' and left you
My child,
I never left you
I wanted you
Here
It is my hand always for you
Hold it tight, I will lead you
To your destiny.
But, O ! God my Protector,
I forgot the way to you
I lost my memory
I failed in final exam
Dear child,
Don't bother, after all it is exam,
But not the final
Don't worry about memory
I am here for you
Try again with my support
Don't be afraid
Come into my arms
Hold my hand

You will pass all your exams
You can reach your destiny

Till you reach your true destiny
The Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda
