Dear Sahridayas, Sriman Sadagopan's explanation of the grace of Periya Piratti and Peiyaazwaar's verses inspired me so much that I wish to share my inadequate attempts at writing to explain the inexplicable.. Ma, My Goddess! Ma! Where art Thou, Ma?- I cry; As my tears mingle with the ocean in which Thy heart lies with the Lord, consecrating waters of life’s passion. Ma! Can Thou hear me, Ma?- I shout; As I pull and pluck Thy veena strings, Thy cosmic song- the mirth it brings wells my space with joyous springs. Ma! Can Thou see me, Ma?-I plead; As I grope and grieve for Thine eyes, Thy vision turns into pure Love light And Lo! a thousand eyes shine so bright. Ma! Can Thou bless me, Ma?-I whisper; As I seek Thy heart and pour my Soul, Thy vajra breeze whiffs past in brief, Did I hear Thee say,"Thou art my heart?!" Love unbounded, Self unmasked Oh Ma!, makes Thee a requirement, not a sentiment!. Thy immortal silence and immanent presence, Transform my transience into transcendence. Adiyen dasi Radhika Srinivasan
