Dialogue with the God

Nidhi Agrawal

LIBERATION

If separating the devotee from her lord
Is sin, Shiva! Why don’t you
Dart the sinner with the poison?
They obliterated your lingam
From my courtyard,
Blamed me for desecrating you,
How can I invite your wrath through
Desecration when my body is
Your hearthstone?

The joy of finding love in separation is
Super sensible, ethereal and ecstatic.
You perform Ananda Tandav (the dance of bliss)
In my dreams,
I manifest the cosmos
You dissolve the same.
Together, we attain liberation (Moksha).


Theme – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
Most people who go through traumatic events may have temporary difficulty adjusting and coping, but with time and good self-care, they usually get better. If the symptoms get worse, last for months or even years, and interfere with your day-to-day functioning, you may have PTSD.

 

 

DIALOGUE WITH THE ‘GOD’

Three Worlds/Question/Wandering/Curiosity

My heart conceives
Silence in the chaos
The womb is the culmination of
Three worlds,
“Oh lord of the caves,”
Where do you reside?

Hearthstone/Answer/Request/Surrender

Mountain gooseberry,
Primula grow in clusters on my skin
I ran into the temples
To find you in the stone.
If you reside in stone,
Why don’t you abscond to see me?

My body is your hearthstone
Oh lord of the highest peaks!
Please come home.
There is no meaning in my existence
Without you.

Union/Euphoria/Laundry/Spiritual Awakening

Rivers deliquesce in the blood
Gush back and forth between the
Arteries and veins
Laundering my
Pride
Guilt
Lust
Wrath
Envy
Sloth
Gluttony.

 

 

EPICLESIS

Without Ida,
The channels of my body’s Pingala lost consciousness,
The skeleton is a gravesite
Without flowers of feminine blood.
My quantum is entangled in Mother Kali’s spell,
She pulls the strings of my Ida
awakens the time tides to rip off the white snowy mountains tangled in
My brain’s hemispheres.
Tonight,
I invoke my Mother Kali!
This epiclesis is a confluence of
Ida and Pingala pathways,
I know,
Only when my mother will enter into
Sushumma, my life will begin.
