Dear Yogis,

Jai Shri Mataji!

‘Tis time my friend,
To put in prose,
Those wondrous realisations,
So that everyone knows,
Those experiences of truth,
Those moments of joy,
Should be shared with every girl and boy!
Celebrate these times with a pen in one hand,
The other hand on your heart let’s take a stand,
Let’s announce that the Almighty Goddess is here,
Let’s proclaim it loud without any fear!
So express and let your creations be freed,
By sending them to Perth for the Annual Poetry Read!

Your Western Australian brothers and sisters would love to receive your poems for this year’s Annual Poetry Reading. You can also send a recording to us of you reciting the poem.

This year, we are also expanding our repertoire and are very happy to receive mini-movies recorded in any format (i.e. smart phones 😀) and we will play them on Saturday night’s entertainment evening.

For all those Yogis that had significant experiences at Uluru during the Shri MahaGanesha Puja Seminar or during the Meditate Australia Tour or at Easter, poetry is a lovely way to capture that experience, so give it a go!!

Please send to [email protected] by Wednesday 2nd October night.

“But the poetry must not narrate, but create magic.”

“So best of luck to you for all these good poems and poetries that you have done. And, all these pieces are extremely beautiful, but we have to perfect it. Make it better and better and in tune with Divine vibrations. We should see vibrations also. What gives you the best vibrations?

Tunes could be simple, could be complicated, could be magical, could be any thing. But the poetry must not narrate, but create magic. Sanskrit it is said any thing there is Chamatkar and there is magic. Chamatkar is the light of the magic. Means there is light of the magic then we should call it poetry. Rasatmaka wakyam kavyam. When there is Rasa then there is Kavya, there is poetry, otherwise no, without Rasa there is no poetry. Now this is the part where composer is concerned.”
