Unite; believe you are blessed and Hindu
Bipin Balakrishnan
Thousands of names, idols and traditions
Still deep in heart your prayers are united
Your soul, convivial and purged of hatred
O’ tolerant being you are blessed and Hindu!
Your epics depict wars of truth and dharma
And define the meaning of earthly existence
Your Vedas guide with knowledge of ages
Illuminate gloomy souls of ignorant beings
My pen could never rest if on you I write
For there you stay in this globe’s history
But where are you? Lost in clueless world-
Of mortal beliefs and selling your heritage
Your glorified tolerance is now a weakness
And had paid enough to all those intruders
Have you not yet learned from those wounds?
Deep and bleeding; on your mother’s heart
They all had their fortune, your conquerors
Missionaries, comrades and now terrorists
And for few silver coins you sold your faith
When you could join hands and unite for good
But not anymore, if you can hear these lines
And feel your mother’s fading but sweet call
Chant those mantras that bond shivering hands
Unite and believe you are blessed and Hindu
