As the daughter of the Himavath, 

Devi descended to earth;

Accomplished the task behind her birth;

In righteous and fearless path her blessings one can seek.

Carrying the bell shaped moon on her forehead is this Deity;

An ultimate embodiment of beauty.

Lord Shiva  when descended down to marry her;

Was accompanied with his crew creating a stir.

His Unkempt hair and ash decked body with snakes and skulls put everyone shaken;

Devi’s mother with worry was heartbroken;

Devi then appeared to Lord in her most Sathwik form;

Requesting the Lord to follow the natures norm;

 Devis are always in perfect sync with Trimurti’s swara.

Disturbed in penance by Manmada 

Lord Shiva reduced him to ashes;

Three lokas had to bear these back lashes;

Love and life stood still;

In turn affecting the life and death cycle. 

From those ashes arose Asura;

His name was Bandasura;

All three Lokas were conquered by him.

Making the life miserable and grim;

Lalitha Tripura sundari Devi family and team, came to their rescue;

Producing from her nails the avataras Varaha, Narasimha, Rama, Krishna  in her crew;

To  vanquish Bandasura

Who released  Hiranyakashipu-astra, Ravana-astra, Kamsa-astra, Duryodhana-astra to name few.

In the hands of Devi, Asura was finally annexed;

Peaceful Brahman was ultimately reestablished.

Bindusara an asura of immense powers;

When troubles all the three lokas;

For the welfare of the beings at large ;

Devi Kalarathri takes up a huge in charge;

When Devi tries to Amex this asura;

Each drop of blood that fell on ground, gave rise to a new Bindusara.

Devi in her ferocious state.

Killed them all and drank every drop of his blood, for the peace to reinstate .

She is an abode of wisdom who choses to dwell in them;

In whom the sathviktha begins to stem .

When the lifetime experience positively reaps in;

The coolness of the Chandrama seeps in.

Fresh blooms arranged in highest altitude;
Merry rounds put bay to all the solitude;
Synchronised steps convey the mental aptitude.

Paying respects to the lineage of ancestors;
Reminiscing the moments with those lost stars🙏

Grief and grin expressed in beautiful folklore;
When Mother Nature is in her best of down pour;
Gathered all decked up, to settle their score;
With all in good spirits and umpteenth uproar.

Rama and shiva tales that give them the courage;
In trying and making the life a beautiful foliage;

Complains on SIL and complains on MIL😜
Standing & Staring is husband in still
Digging the past is this beautiful drill
Swaying in with moves are those pleats in the frill 😃

Long live are these traditions;
Which add bliss and bless in the life of limited edition.

9/10/18
🙏Happy Bathukamma🙏

Celebrations in its purest form;
Keeping intact, the nature’s norm.

Adorned in beautiful hand looms;
Picking and plucking the varied blooms.

Yet an other turn, to make those rounds;
In the midst of those bangles sounds.

Setting the pyramid with varied hue;
With an emotional folk lore in que.

Confessing & complaining to Mother Earth;
Are the grievances & instances right from the birth.

Sharing and comparing their long time woes;
Yet on par with the rhythm, are those toes.

Drawing the inspiration from divine tales;
Scaling to new heights, behind their veils.

Letting go all the stress, with the hardest clap;
Relieving and leaving it in mother’s lap.

Life is to float till you sink;
Till then let’s paint, the faces pink.

Invaluable treasure, are these renditions;
Blessed to be in the midst of these traditions.

🙏Happy Bathukamma🙏

Om Gouri Devi Namaha 🙏

To the overwhelming abundance, our obeisance ;
We bow down before her patience and endurance ;

With Lord Shiva an epitome of austerity being her better half;
This Narayana sibling Narayani, sustains the life through any trough.

Balancing both the worlds as cake walk;
With witty gritty valour sons to walk her talk;
Lord Ganesha with his Witt, keeps obstacles at bay ;
Cutting through all grief is the Valour Shanmukha’s way .

Tinkling hands are all agog to deck her up;
With Flowers of varied hues and fragrances will soon stack up.
Pyramids of banthi tangedu, guniga, gummadi chamanthi flowers;
Twinkling bright by drenching in monsoon showers;

This fresh and cosy seat of potpourri;
Is for the bright, radiant turmeric Gauri;
Celebrating Mother Nature in Bathukamma;
Making merry rounds acknowledging our strengths and weakness to Gauramma.
Our Encircled synchronising moments have tales to say;
Letting go all inhibitions are the songs in sway.

These pretty beaming faces in delight;
Are drawing inspiration from Devi, the supreme and might ;
To overcome all fears and face challenges;
To break through any shackles that cringes.

Thus our celebration of Shakthi has just begun this Amavasya, the Kaala rathri.
This swing and sway will be in upsurge for the whole Navrathri;

🙏Bathukamma Bathukamma vuyyalo……..
