A Seeker’s Ode to Yoga
Sun salutation Sun salutation
In the sacred realm where whispers reside,
Where souls ascend, and worlds coincide,
There stands a sage, with wisdom so wide,
On Yoga’s path, he continues to stride.

Though not a Yogi, in the purest of forms,
With 2100 hours through sunlit morns,
400 more guiding, amidst life’s storms,
I chart a course, where the spirit transforms.

Beyond mere postures, beyond quiet thought,
Beyond the peace that the ancients sought,
Is a deeper realm, with truths hard-fought,
Where the self and divine intricately knot.
Shoulder stand Shoulder stand
To me, Yoga is more than mere art,
Not just body’s strength, or mind’s chart.
It’s a sacred bridge, a celestial part,
Where Advaita’s wisdom fills the heart.
Head stand Head stand
If it’s fitness or health that you implore,
Seek a doctor, a gym, there’s always more.
But if cosmic riddles make your spirit soar,
Walk with me, towards the infinite shore.
Head stand Head stand
Don’t come for the promise of health’s sweet song,
Or just to correct some physical wrong,
Seek me for truths, where mysteries belong,
Ask if life’s purpose pulls you along.

Yes, Yoga grants peace, a tranquil state,
Health, sharp mind, it does facilitate.
But to seek just these, to satiate,
Is to trade a galaxy for a single sand’s fate.
Scale pose Scale pose
For every seeker, a tailored path I weave,
Listening closely to what they believe.
The price is high, many might perceive,
But priceless gems, the earnest receive.
Vishnu pose Vishnu pose
Hidden in plain sight, the treasures glow,
Within daily rituals, wisdoms grow.
Like gold wrapped ’round a gem’s show,
Real worth emerges as deeper you go.
Wheel pose Wheel pose
Discipline, determination, to me you must pledge,
From these roots, devotion will edge.
Athletes, thinkers, on this ledge,
Not for the tender or twilight age.
Peacock pose Peacock pose
To join, answer this query: “why”,
Open your heart, let ambitions fly.
If truths match and you’re willing to buy,
On wings of wisdom, together we’ll fly.
Fish pose Fish pose
Walk with me, if truth’s path you dare,
Where souls awaken, shed layers they wear.
More than teachings, it’s life’s essence rare,
Leading from shadows to luminous glare.
In Yoga’s rhythm, ancient tales are spun,
Beyond mere flesh, under the same sun.
Seek realms higher, the universal spree,
Dance with the cosmos, in eternal glee.
In the sacred realm where whispers reside,
Where souls ascend, and worlds coincide…
Peace. Peace. Peace.
