BALAKRISHNA - STORY OF A MOTHER

This is the story of a woman , every woman
Story of A Girl , every girl , the story of a teen
Her story , each and every Mother's narration
These are Her words spoken , and unspoken
As understood by me and by my pen written
Her thoughts by me understood as an expression
I am privileged for the revelation , my inspiration
Which resulted as a narration by me Athrison
Now listen to Her story and bestow your approbation : -

" I am A Woman , The Woman , A Sthree , Prakruthi
I am The Primordial Mother , Me Aadi Paraa Sakthi
I am the compendium of Original Energy , The Sakthi
Without me even Siva , The Purush is a Sava , inert matter
Me Prakruthi energized Purush into a Cosmic Dance of ecstatic Nature
A creative force that resulted in The Universe in all It's grandeur
Every non - living , living , static as well dynamic nature
Beast that walks , winged one that flies , human and every creature
I am That First Woman on Earth , Satharoopa , Lucy of anthropology
Mother of Saptha Maathrukas , Seven Sisters
Mothers of all humans , spread all over hither and thither .
Having said that much , I am now a woman , to all of you so familiar.

I am a Woman through eons , times and ages , a daughter , a sister , a
partner , and A Mother
From being a sweet baby girl to a toothless great grand mother
A small daughter so timid and shy , hiding behind my Mother
A Baby girl , afraid , respectful and so obedient to my father
I am so eager to learn from mother , father , teacher , and every elder
Years rolled by , now I am a teen ager trained in music , arts and culture
Slowly becoming an expert in all matters of culinary nature
All this in addition to formal education and excelling and a pet of my teacher.

Now I am A Woman , may appear timid , but inherently bold
May seem innocent and ignorant , yet wiser for my age than any else so told
Fully equipped to be a house wife -- no no no don't use that word ,
I would like to be referred as A Home Maker of which I am proud
A in-house manager , a home-made CEO , a domestic engineer , A Home Minister
I am so conciliatory in nature , every one takes me for granted
That is my nature to remain in the back ground .

When the parents are away from home I am ever ready to take care
Always yielding to the precedence of brothers , be younger or elder
A role model to my younger sisters , who one day would be same as me
As my parents wished , I am ready to enter into a for life partnership
I know I can depend upon their judgement , so I am assured
Not worried of entering into a strange household
Strangers now may be , but one day I shall be the head .

Oh how the times have gone by , Now I am A Mother and A Grand mother
My teen agers , my flesh and blood think I am old fashioned
They are not aware that I am That Original Mother Carrying within me Her DNA
Yet I am compassionate , so tolerant , and let them say what they wish
When they tell me they have to be able to stand on their own feet ,
educated and financially secure
They assure that their parents can trust them and rely on their judgement
They are not in a hurry into a life partnership as yet , I stay cool ,
calm and remain a spectator
I shall be from now only a friend and again reminded of my own childhood
Speak only when spoken to , only be a mute presence , seen not heard .

Now my parents have left me to a distant place and are my own memories
All my children have grown wings and flown away to live their own lives
My grand children are strangers and when I ask them when shall I
become a great grand mother
I was told grandma - times have changed , I know they have really
changed probably for better
At last I am all alone , full time companion of my life long time life partner
Now that he has retired , he is so obedient , a true friend , we now
knew we are made for each other
We are always at home , mutually tolerant of each other's presence ,
me for him , he for me
An intellectual companionship , a life long friendship through thick
and thin , till death do us part .
We look back with satisfaction , life well spent , mission
accomplished - My Primordial Mother Any Time Now Ready To Receive Me
Into HER Bosom .

Virginia Martin This made me cry. It is beautiful !Thank you.

Jabalimuni Putrevu : Your respect for womanhood is excellently
described.The physical growth,the emotional developement and the
attachment to parents till marriage and the role of home-maker after
marriage are made spectacular as the girl grows to vaious stages with
age.The final stage of being a grandmother and a lifelong companion of
grandfather is the happiest part of her life reminiscing all the
previous experiences in the earlier years.Prakrithi and Purusha are
complimentary to each other just as woman and man through
ages.Ardhanareeswara symbolises this concept in our religion.

"vidyaa dadaati vinayaM vinayaadyaati paatrataam
paatratvaaddhanamaapnoti dhanaaddharmaM tataH sukhaM"

This is proved true to the letter in your case.A very knowledgeble
person you are and your humility and love for all your students and
friends is perceptable all times.
Regards,
your younger brother Jabalimuni Putrevu

Sarve Mitter : In fact Naari, as you rightly pointed out is inherently wiser, a
true home-maker, emotionally strong enough to yield to other’s
precedence. Conciliatory, only for her love she possesses towards her
family. And, therefore, we must give priority to her decisions. Simply
because, to her a family is as dearer as a painting is to a painter.
Let her fill the colour in our lives. GOD is with us in form of a
Mother, a Sister, a life partner and a friend.
With deepest regards
Sarve Mitter

ANASOOYADEVIATHRISON LIFE AND TIMES

I am A descendant of Anasooya Devi and Mahaa Muni Athri
These are my thoughts , my philosophy , I hope all will agree
We are all Sanaathanis as we are all fruits of the Original Tree
All of us are Braahmins , the result of Brahma's Creative force
We are all Humans , men and women , children of Manu
I believe in my own faith , brought up in a way , which for me is nice
I can not help if I am considered a non believer by others grace
Not afraid of brimstone and fire , nor am I enamored by heaven's face
Not worried of being roasted , or boiled , as by that time I am not alive
Having said all that as a preamble let me say what in my mind I have .
At age three score plus ten and seven , I am A Senior by Divine Grace
I think that I am entitled to that honor , may not be by A royal decree .

As a senior I assure all that I am only a benevolent observer
Not an imposer of my views , but only an elderly adviser
My philosophy is not to ask for any thing , nor to expect from another
I have what I need , content with what I have , enough for my person
Except for my advice and solace , I have no material gifts to offer
As of now I have no desire to be a monetary borrower
I believe in live and let others live in harmony , peace and prosper

Having said that, when friends ask me and if I know I shall answer
You ask me to play games , I will say no , as I have no time to spare
Do not recommend that I request someone to be a friend , but my hand I
shall offer
Treat me with respect and regard due to me , I will be your guide and counselor
Slap me on my cheek , I will not turn my other cheek , but I will not
keep quiet either
You give me a rose , or your best wishes , I will with all humility
accept your offer
Young or old , rich or poor , intellectual or a learner , Bless me , I
will bow my head lower.

I am same as you , neither your leader, nor your follower , but only a
friendly neighbor
Accept me for what I am with all my beauty spots and blemishes , I
will be your friend forever
Hurt me in any way what so ever , I will not forget , try to forgive ,
but a grudge I will not bear
Do not put me on a pedestal , nor ask me to sit without any
wherewithal , treat me as your equal on a par
Finally let me say , I am happy with my past , content with the
present , not upset the about future ,
Life has been good to me so far .
so be it , that is all friends for the present , wishing you all the
best that your lives can offer
