He built a shrine at Radha-kunda...

Someone was kind enough to remember me with a composite photo of myself and what appears to be a shrine I once inhabited. This is actually the toilet bathroom combo of the house I never really lived in. My actual shrine, rented on the roof of the Manipuri temple (where the below photo of me was taken), was a bit under five square meters in size and came with a 30x30 cm window.


For contrast's sake, let's include a recent shot of where I live at these days. Many have wondered whether I ended up living in the stump of an old tree or something. Who would have guessed just how on the mark their guesses were! Actually I do live in the stump of an old tree. (Solar power and wireless net.) Below you can see me emerging for the hollow of the tree to greet the mid-day sun.


I also have a mantra I chant when I stand at the treetop greeting the heavens, an atma-dhyana or self-contemplation of sorts. The pronunciation and the full merit can only really be obtained by native speakers of a Finno-Ugrean language, even if there are a few foreign masters of vowel harmony and agglutinative morphology too. I may prepare a chanting guide with a recording in the future if there's sufficient interest among the readers.

Korpikuusen kannon alla on Mörri-Möykyn kolo.
Siellä on koti ja siellä on peti ja peikolla pehmoinen olo.
Tiu tau tiu tau tili tali tittan sirkat soittaa salolla,
Pikkuiset peikot ne piilossa pysyy kirkkaalla päivän valolla.
Syksyn tullen sieniä kasvaa karhunkankahalla,
Mörri-Möykky se sateessa istuu kärpässienen alla.

Elemental

elemental, transcendental
sweet creation in the nature
and she moves with the flow,
reveling in the universe...

lady earth, so full of texture
pleasant fragrance, solid motion
and she moves with the flow,
grounded in the universe...

lady water, seamless flower
quenching passions, so refreshing
and she moves with the flow,
flowing through the universe...

lady fire, foe of darkness
energetic, life-augmenting
and she moves with the flow,
splendor of the universe...

lady air, so full of lightness
all-pervasive, windy motion
and she moves with the flow,
flying across the universe...

lady ether, space creator
misty canvas, base of nature
and she moves with the flow,
underneath the universe...

integrated, liberated
spirit nature, deep within me
and she moves with the flow,
dancing in the beautiful universe...

Päivänsäde ja menninkäinen - Osa 2: "Illanhämy rakkauden"

And this is for our Finnish readers... The second part to a beautiful but melancholic old song about the impossible love between a light fairy and an earth sprite, one living of light and the other dwelling in darkness. Dedicated to a dear hobbit friend of Shire.




Illanhämy mietti hetken —

"Surullinen menninkäinen,
kuinka tuota lohduttaa?"
Kutsui luokseen aurinkoisen
loitsi vaikuttajan toisen
päivän sekä öisen pimeyden.

Sanoi heille: "Julmat ovat tienne teidän vaikeroivat
rikkoisitte rakkauden."
Hämyn henki myötätunnon antoi heille suloisen maan
iänaikain iltahämärän.

Ihailivat toisiansa
menninkäinen, kultasiipi
täynnä kuumaa leiskuntaa...
Syleilivät, suutelivat
vuoteellansa iltahämyn
maistelivat iltaa ihanaa!

"En piittaa vaikka valon jätin, päivän kirkkauden
on hämärassä kaunis vaeltaa.
"Käy kanssani, mun menninkäinen, näytän sulle tien
vien maahan suuren rakkauden"

Sanoi siihen menninkäinen:
"Päivänsäde, rakkauteni,
sydämein on täynnä elämää!
Yhdessä nyt vaellamme,
hämyn verhoon sukellamme,
vailla huolta päivän huomisen..."

Ja niin kulki päivänsäde,
rinnallansa menninkäinen

alla taivaankannen hämäran.
Hyväilivät toisiansa
taivaan aurinko ja tähdet

maassa suuren rakkauden.

Pixie Train


take a train to pixie lands
pack the flowers, magic sands
mount the wings of silver strands
kiss the one who understands

magic of the autumn moon
lushness of the late monsoon
beauty of the deep lagoon
eating with a silver spoon

lounging under ancient shrines
pixie trails on magic vines
apple blossom redesigns
bathing in the sapphire shines

traveling in submarines
cookies made of nectar beans
cross the time-space beyond dreams
dancing in the solar beams

savoring the magic potion
delirium, deep emotion
spontaneous locomotion
tripping on the wizard lotion

buddha-fields and levitation
atmospheric adaptation
enigmatic rumination
fundamental permutation

how i long to be
in the pixie land
how i long to dance
in the pixie sand

how i wish to be
in a pixie tree
how i wish to eat
every pixie treat

how i hope to be
in a pixie trance
how i hope to have
one more pixie chance

how i meant to be
in a pixie dream
how i meant to swim
every pixie stream

how i transmutate
how i modulate
how i procreate
how i break my crate

in the heaven of pixies
in the garden of light
in smoothie delight

A Magic Box


a magic box of fantasies
an eerie land of lucid dreams

a jasmine orchid indiscreet
in sleep...

a silent arbour in the sea
an island made of ecstasy

a pixie house inside a tree

in me...


a flight to venus, silver wings
ambrosia in golden rings

alone a fairy princess sings

for me...


i make a garden in my heart
i plant the twilights in the dark
i light the heavens with a spark

of you...


a magic box of fantasies for you...

i made a beautiful
magic box of fantasies

for you...

Lady Lovely Locks


sweet lady lovely locks, i place you in a locket
i travel to the heavens, i fly without a rocket
i cross the seven seas of yore, i dive the ocean deep
i pluck the moonsphere like a flower, lest my lady weep

i journey to the forest dark, i climb the magic vine
i wander to the spring of love, i taste the passion wine
i feel the nature's tender breeze, i hear the breath of winds
i hear the cuckoo's mating call, i wonder what he finds


come dance with fairies, lady love, our magic mountain calls
come savor champagne jubilee, in dreams one walks through walls
come wander cross our heartlands vast, in hues of crimson deep
come take a sip of honey dew, taste tender dreamy sleep

we'll journey past imagination, cross the human space
we'll merge within the fifth dimension, fly in frenzied grace

we'll kiss the lips of distant past, travel times unseen

we'll warp the fabric of the worlds, bend timey spacey screens


rainbow as our mistletoe, nature our kaleidoscope
milky way a string of pearls I weaved with strands of hope
emptiness our dancing hall, maestro in angel blue

oh dally in the universe i built with love for you...

The Lady's Bluebells


whence cometh the shining,
whence cometh the silent midnight breeze?
whence cometh the heaven's comets,
whence the prophet's tale of god?

thence, my lady, come the seeds of love and grace
thence the bluebells, tender, sweet and soft
thence the wonders, sparks of mother great divine
thence the pixie dust, ambrosial rains of heaven's flavor

whence cometh the shadows,
whence cometh the berserk, savage rage?
whence cometh the lords of pandemonium,
whence the darkness of the human mind?

thence, my lady, grow the roots of fear and terror
thence the eerie shrieks of darkest night
thence the devils, rays of samael the dark
thence the night of devastation, wrath and fury of demise.
