Matrimandir Gardens

Christmas Eve 2006

Such peace pervades this charged atmosphere,

As if the tread of silent angel feet

Now quicken the earth and wake the soul of man

To see the Light most radiant in the East.

A gracious harmony, a pure delight

Descends, and from the fragrant fields of God

A music now we hear unheard before

Or only in the unattainable spheres.

Hearts are charged with love and bodies glow

A force transcendent bonds these varied lives;

In the gardens of the Mandir we are one.

Give all you have or ever shall be to Her

Who transmutes sorrow to eternal joy,

This world of pain to ecstasy divine.
