R.M.Prabhulinga Shastry

Every man has divine feminine energy and every woman the divine masculine energy and unless there is merger, fusion of these energies, there wouldn't be creativity.

'WO'MAN is essentially an Existential Being and the Spirit. Life is eternal. As human being, 'wo'man life which is never born, nor dies and it ever dies. Only a body connected with life takes birth and death and generates embodied consciousneess. This connection is only The Atman(The Soul).

The Poet has composed in English, despite its incapability to enter into the 'garbhagruha' of many Sanskrit Non-Translatables in the arena of Indian Spiritualism and has in a simple manner tried to decode the Sanatan...

by denoting the Atman by alphabet small 'i' and the Almighty by capital "I"; thus enabling the readers to easily understand what he seeks to convey.

The Poet invites everyone to assimilate the Truth glimpsed in his poems. The Poet thus envisions paradise on Earth and it is feasible because the basic consciousness of every human being is same everywhere and it is our Earth that belongs to all living beings including trees.

"We love India where we learn to love God"

R The guns of science and matter have boomed on her shores, yet she is unconquered. Her soul is free evermore! Her soldier saints are away, to rout with realization's ray the bandits of hate, prejudice, and patriotic selfishness; and to burn the walls of separation dark between children of the One, One Father.

Blow, blow aloud, her conch shells all! India now invades with love, to conquer their souls.

Hail, Mother of religions, lotus, scenic beauty, and sages! Thy wide doors are open, welcoming God's true sons through all ages. Where Ganges, woods, Himalayan caves, and men dream God I am hallowed! am proud to be born in the sacred land called Bharat! (based on poem 'MY INDIA' by Paramahansa Yoganand)

With this premiss, I venture to write foreword to the upcoming Anthology of Poems essentially on Indian Spirituality, authored by R.M. Prabhulinga Shastry ji. I felt humbled when the adored Poet, despite of my short acquaintance with him on Facebook, requested me to write foreword to the anthology of his poems, and also graciously forwarded some of his books already published and the poems ready for publication as of now. Frankly speaking 1 do know my limitations, as being a toddler in the field of Poetry, as also in the matters deeply spiritual. A small cup cannot hold an ocean within itself. Likewise, the cup of human consciousness, limited by the physical and mental instrumentalities of material perceptions, cannot grasp the Universal Consciousness, no matter how desirous one like me may be of doing so. But by the definite science of inner being known for millenniums to the yogis and sages of India, any seeker of God can enlarge the caliber of his consciousness to omniscience to receive within himself the Universal Intelligence of God.
