I drove through sleepy lanes
To offer prayer in dead of a night
I was welcomed with stoic silence
my sweaty hands trembled with fright
I instinctively pushed the bell near gate
Got startled by it’s sound
The wafting smell of earthen lamps
Accentuated good vibes all around
As I stepped in to the dark Garvagriha
I felt my body getting separated from soul
A moment caught me looking at Her .
And I got merged into Black Hole.
Blinding clouds of light started fading up
And Maa Samlei emerged from above,
I was euphoric and jumped delightfully
As she looked intently with motherly love.
I involuntarily danced to sound of “Mridung”
And lifted eyelids to come back to sense
I was surrounded by people who looked concerned
And my dress got completely drenched
I felt like a new man as I got up
With my newfound faith and belief
I keep thanking Maa for every moment of joy
And She is ray of hope for profound grief.
