The Hugging Saint

The hugging saint

hugged me again....

amidst the scorching heat 

and sweltering crowd

she had a few moments

to give me

that loving jaddoo ki jhappi.*

Overwhelmed again I was

by her warm humility,

by her showering sharing demeanor

happily giving away

the divine strength

she receives for herself

to ordinary commoners like me.

Walking away 

from that epitome of purity,

I carried within me

emotions of peace,

tears of gratitude

for what I knew not

yet, I was aware that she did....

Thank you Amma!

*Jaddoo ki Jhappi means magical hug.
