"Not Just Names, But Meanings"

Lessons in Life

I don’t see Ganesha as a lord,

But love for parents he adored.

Like the universe, vast and bright,

His devotion shines with endless light.

I don’t see Kartikeya above,

But as a warrior, fierce in love.

With strength and fire, bold and free,

He stands for courage, guiding me.

I don’t see Hanuman as divine,

But strength and will that now are mine.

I don’t see Radha-Krishna above,

But souls who taught what’s true in love.

I don’t see Shiva and Parvati high,

But partners strong, who stand and try.

I don’t see Buddha on a throne,

t peace and calm I call my own.

I don’t see Saraswati in gold,

But wisdom’s light that makes me bold.

I don’t see Lakshmi just in wealth,

But grace that brings true joy and health.

I don’t see Vasudev as grand,

But one who learned to understand.

I don’t see Ram as only right,

But one who kept his word so tight.

I don’t see Lakshman as a lord,

But love for kin, in deed and word.

No temple walls, no fear or chain,

Their lessons live within my brain.

Not gods above, not prayers deep,

But truths in life, my heart will keep.
