Soulie Saturday #15: Where Nature So Pure... (ISKCON Temple, Pandharpur)

Walking the nature trail in Pandharpur ISKCON Temple
Nature trail at ISKCON Temple Guest House, Pandharpur.

Take me there,
where nature so pure,
lays it all bare…
Birds sing in delight,
a melody so soothing,
it sends the breeze in twirling flight.
The soaring trees reach for the heavens,
pin drop silences,
broken only by Your presence.

Take me there,
where nature so pure,
lays it all bare…
So what if the road is torn and dirty?
worn out, in patches murky.
There’s a unique joy in this walking
an unparalleled excitement,
so much of living and learning,
in every single bend.

Take me there,
where nature so pure,
lays it all bare…
The filtering sunshine melts my heart,
all worldly chaos miles apart.
Like a little bud,
untainted and rare,
unfurling delicately,
bursting in bloom,
in Your tender care.

Take me there…
no worries to be afraid,
an unkempt road,
led by faith,
 Where else can this be but your garden,
kept by light and love,
your one and only warden.

Yeah, take me there...
where a soul so pure,
so free,
says a little dirt road prayer,
lays her heart all open... and bare.

Unplanned morning walks are the best, aren't they? This soulie is reminiscent of a few peaceful moments spent in the company of nature during my stay at ISKCON Temple, Pandharpur. Do watch out for a detailed post (with more pictures) coming soon!

  3. So nice to see a different view point on the famous temple. I too believe that nature is the purest form of creator and God's way of showing us that she loves us all. I would sure like to visit and stay at the ISKON temple in Pandharpur

  4. This is a nice poem, Arti. (did you write it?) I love poetry, so I appreciated this one. Nature is so good to us, and we can hear so many things, the birds, the animals, and even the wind, if only we listen.

    Have a splendid week, my friend.
