 Om namo bagavathe sri vasudevaya 🙏 Thy golden Light came down into my brain And the grey rooms of mind sun-touched  became A bright reply to Wisdom's occult plane, A calm illumination and a flame. Thy golden Light came down into my throat, And all my speech is now a tune divine, A paean-song of Thee my single note; My words are drunk with the immortal's wine.

No longer playground for the grown up girl Now trained into  kitchenhood. Like all the mothers and mothers’ mothers Before her, in the kitchen She becomes woman right here.
