A Wonderful Mystery

A Wonderful Mystery

 

Woman as a mother

or as a sister or a daughter

or as a colleague or a consort

or any role men may entrust

remains as love incarnate.

In her love in all forms emanate

serving as nectar to man to live

even the entire creation to survive.

Man exists because of her

Hence to her man is indebted forever

But it is a note to wonder

at the pages of the Hindu scripture

the torture inflicted to a woman

leaving them insulted and broken

at both hands of god men and demon

the mystery is beyond my perception

Ravan was the demon and Ram is the Lord

at both hands the divine mother Sita suffered

despite being innocent and divine chaste

she had to appear the hardest fire test.

In epics Mahabharat Drupadi the great

her five great husbands lost her as a bet

and she has to face the ignominy, women hate

of being stripped before all sensors and celebrated as great

The Lord could only save her after Dhusa’s haul

not to protect a woman but at a devotee’s call.

Fail I to unveil the misty, Hey mother!

you smile after bearing the greatest pain of torture.

Blame I Lord Rama and Lord Krishna on their inaction

women suffered though differ may devotees interpretations.

Draupadi suffered not only because of kauravas but also as bet)
