Kadappan shares a very inspiring poem:
Sipping the divine
I lost the respect for the wine
For the hunch it gives lasts all time
And makes me more aware at the same time
Available wide open at no cost
But still it's very difficult to get lost
Constrictions have I made in the form of my mind
Poses restrictions to imbibe the kind
Surfing its ocean for quiet a long spell
I am yet to dive in, to find the pearl
Oh how stolid am I
To still stall on this narrow board of I
Hence without his cocktail mix
I definitely don't have any other fix!

Lavanya shares a poem about Kailash:
A journey to the source of reality
Can it become my destiny?
Not so sturdy I’m, physically
Looking for you, helplessly!
A longing journey of sanctity
Can it become my destiny?
Bemused in thoughts, relentlessly
Looking for you, helplessly!
A Journey to the mountain of Eternity
Can it become my destiny?
Not so strong I’m, emotionally
Looking for you, helplessly!
A yearning journey of spirituality
Can it become my destiny?
I pray to dissolve in you, resolutely
Accept this ignorant, benevolently!

Lavanya, from Minnesota shares a poem:
I Flag myself, as devotee of you
I have know clue, as who is you!
I ignore all, as they aren’t you
I have know clue, as who is you!
I Worship an idol, as that’s all you
I have know clue, as who is you!
I fast and chant, to please you
I have know clue, as who is you!
I grin as I think, I possess you
I have know clue, as who is you!
Something within, still looking for you
Open my third eye, so I see you!
Something within, still longing for you
Tear of my ignorance, so I hear you!
Something within, still lasting for you
Fade away my fakeness, so I feel you!
Something within, still living for you
Destroy my ego, so I dwell within you!
I Flag myself, as devotee of you

A poem shared my an Isha meditator from Charlotte, NC:
Breathtaking visuals, withheld these eyes two,
Scintillating music, danced in these ears two,
Fragrances and Flavors, were enjoyed too.
And textures a million, sensed these two hands,
Thus ran a life with day to day demands.
Still an existence unaware, that it felt tragic,
Till you came and unleashed the magic,
So wonderful, that it defied all logic.
Now you've kindled an unquenchable thirst,
And set me off on a mad quest,
To find the peak of this Everest.
Thanks for ensuring that this being cannot rest,
Until it knows it’s very best.

Poem on Sadhguru by an Isha Meditator from Charlotte, NC:
Awakened from my slumber
I peek in the yonder,
Who is this? Man or Myth, I wonder.
He coaxes me near,
To erase my fear,
A comfortable warmth, is this the womb or bonfire?
Do I care or has this always been my desire?
Awakened from my slumber
I peek in the yonder,
Who is this? Man or Myth, I wonder.
He coaxes me near,
To erase my fear,
A comfortable warmth, is this the womb or bonfire?
Do I care or has this always been my desire?

A poem shared by an Isha meditator:
A mundane game of golf,
In this game, a hole in one,
A rare one,
If a player can score,
The crowd will soar.
O Golf player, in this game of golf,
Can this ball disappear in the One?
A hole in one,
When you score,
This ball will soar,
Let there be no more.

Karen expresses her thoughts in a wonderful poem:
NEW DISCOVERIES
Did you happen to know
I'm not so pure as the driven snow.
Driven yes, but not by choice
Compulsions are the way I hoist.
Squandering gifts too precious for words
Falling from Grace, back with the masses and herds.
So why you keep playin’ that tune so sweet?
The one that makes me shiver and shake
Out from my hole like a hungry snake.
And how many times will you take my hand
So tenderly guide me through this land?
Will you forgive my ignorance and blunders yet again?
For now I see it is only You I will be in the end.
Silly questions to a Being so beyond and akin
But I must know for this new found devotion blazes within.
What to give you in return?
Only me, but first I must burn.

Sadhguru...
I came to you too full of me
With all the garbage I carried along with me
You threw away the garbage out of me
Also brought all the love, I had within me
I screamed and danced to get the hell out of me
Thought that was all about me
I had boundaries between others and me
Thinking that is safe for me
You broke the safety lock of me
And showed who is the "REAL" me
I feel so light and full of energy within me
If not you, who else could it be
A Thank you couldnt not just express what I want to say
I surrender myself at your feet and My tears would say.

A Poem from Isha Meditator, Charlotte, NC:
What is it that makes this heart beat?
What is it that makes the Sun heat?
What is it that makes the planets go around?
What is it that keeps you and me on the ground?
What is it that gave birth to the sea?
What is it that lets you and I see?
What is it that gave flight to the birds?
What is it that speaks these words?
What that is and is not, is far-out,
Damned if you and I weren’t inspired to find out.

An Isha meditator from Charlotte, NC shares a poem on Sadhguru:
Once, a Snake Charmer came to town,
To trample many a snakes' crown.
Some ran for cover,
Others stood in awe of this power.
Mean ones, docile ones,
Slimy ones, slippery ones,
He charmed them one and all.
They danced joyfully,
Some even bit him foolishly.
He brushed it all aside,
Never missing a beat in his breezy stride,
He charmed them one and all.
O dear snake, surrender or be caught,
With this charmer… your chances are but naught.

Parul, an IE participant from Delhi shares his experience of Inner Engineering.
She's called that cos' she's feminine. I liked the way its sound melted in my mouth, so well, that it fills me up even just to say it.
Shambhavi, its a way of meditation. It is offered and recieved, in a particular way, in the presence of a guru. It can't, be taught and learnt like the usual kriyas, asanas and other forms of yoga or meditation.
That's what is said, and I believe it, at the time it is offered to me, while it is also offered to 1000 odd others present with me in the stadium on 19th of Dec 2010.
Believe it or not, it has you the first time you do it. People say they experience ecstasy. It fills you up with an energy, of a kind, inexplicable by ways of communicating that you already know. That's why, its called ecstasy I guess.
My first time, it sent chills down my spine, and every bit of me froze as if I was inside a freezing water body. As if I wouldn't breathe again, or breathing itself was effort. And without any emotion and lots of pain, I cried.
I cried as I havent cried before. As I don't wish to cry again. If I had let go of myself, that last one percent, I might have shocked those sitting next to me. And then when it was done, when everyone relaxed, stood up and danced, I was still crouching to myself, frozen, empty and exhausted. Tears wouldn't stop. Shivers won't give away.
Later, a teacher explained: Shambhavi is feminine in nature. Feminine, cos it yields easily. You don't need years of practice before she yields for you. She is tender that way. And I loved the way he explained it. Shambhavi, it made sense. It made sense suddenly.
That day, they made us do it again (twice ie.) ; tears yet again, shivers yet again and a long blank, followed by a yearning to be held, consoled, drift away in slumber. Never experienced a blank like that before, like I didn't know where I am, what I am here for, not even an emotion, just cold and the pain.

An Isha volunteer shares a poem at the start of the New Year:
Successfully wasting yet another year
My mind projects bright the following year
This moment the only doorway to existence
Have I shut listening to my mind's pretense
As my mind becomes more and more cozy
I am just getting terribly lazy
Better I realize that all these year-endings are just to account cost
But never ever a means for me to get lost
As you head towards your ultimate dissolution
I am yet no where near my resolution
Until you make me fully intense
I would just be wasting this life doing non-sense
Without you tearing the me in me apart
How am I to become your own part?
