OUM Namo Narayanaya! Chanting hymn octave
Narayanan offers at Thy feet, his couplets stave.
ALMIGHTY
If temple idols suddenly start speaking,
All the devotees, from sanctum, start sneaking!
The god who is all pervading
For fear of human, now hiding!
The god Almighty is cemented* To altar, by him He created! (* In Hindu temples, the idols are fixed on the altar by 'Ashta bandham', i.e. eight knots, a rite of cementing and consecration using gum made of eight ingredients consisting of lacs and seeds)
Who created man is unsolved mystery
But, creation of god is man's mastery!
Who is, how is and what name is the God?
Man gives various answers as per his mood!
If everywhere the god fill,
Where, on earth, do devils dwell?
Prayers are like letters sent by post
Some may reach, some in transit, get lost.
Why count thy incantations by rosaries,
To be accounted in Lord's inventories?
