akash ganga

only in the darkest of places, does one see your current in the sky

only in the quietest of minds, does one realize your soaring aim

only in the silence of man-lights, does one become true again

only on dim summer nights, does one become open to your celestial touch

Shiva wrapped your might to save us, your terran traverse fed our bodies

your outlet to Sagar destines us, yet, unfathomed you remain center of our galaxy

flood the night with your subtle vision, muddy our waiting fertile fields,

oh Akash Ganga,

oh, great enchanter of night, mind, and spirit

open for me the unified field of oneness,

may Om transcend my spirit to you
