Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya

As a vagabond I have roamed,
Through strange streets, on alien grounds,
All for a vision, just one sight.

On lonely roads, Where all is black,
Lost my shadows, always felt lost,
From Darkness lead me to light.

Sanskrit shloka for the title
असतो मा सद्गमय।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय।
म्रित्योर्मा अम्रुतम्गमय।

Transliteration
asato maa sadgamaya |
tamaso maa jyotirgamaya |
mrityormaa amrutamgamaya |

Rough Translation
Lead me from the Unreal to the Real.
Lead me from Darkness to Light.
Lead me from Death to Immortality.

A lamp on flickr! Pun aside; a very serene, becalming photo. Although a catholic term, description as an 'altar of repose' could very well suit this snap.

: Lamp on Flickr, Lol ! Puns are most welcome on my stream!
Altar of Repose? The pic has a more dark eerie appearance because of the paint peeling off from insides. But I'm glad you liked the poem & the photo... & the title :). My best critic award for 2008 goes to you .... as every year :D
: Thank you :)

eerie? :) I saw it in a different 'light', then ;). Liked the strokes on the wall that are supposed to give the emanating-rays-from-the-sun type feel as well. [Thanks for the award, btw :)]

Absolutely beautiful picture. Illustrates the tamsao ma concept so well. I've used this image in a post here (http://asuph.posterous.com/diwali-musings) with attribution. I hope that's okay under the license (I read it, and it looked okay under the terms, but if there is any issue, let me know, I'll remove it).

regards,
asuph
