Whom dost thou worship in this lonely dark corner of a<br />temple with doors all shut? Open thine eyes and see thy God is not before thee!<br /><br /> He is there where the tiller is tilling the hard ground and where the pathmaker is breaking stones. He is with them in sun and in shower, and his garment is covered with dust. Put off thy holy mantle and even like him come down on the dusty soil!<br /><br /> Deliverance? Where is this deliverance to be found? Our master himself has joyfully taken upon him the bonds of creation; he is bound with us all for ever.<br /><br /> Come out of thy meditations and leave aside thy flowers and incense! What harm is there if thy clothes become tattered and stained? Meet him and stand by him in toil and in sweat of thy brow. <br /> -Gurudev<br /><br /><br />I live in Bangalore and work around here.<br />Links to my work available online:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">01.<a href="http://www.bostonliterarymagazine.com/fall08quick.html#fall08march.html">Boston Literary Magazine</a> <br />02.<a href="http://www.gowanusbooks.com/Anand_Villa_Mundargi.html">Gowanus</a> <br />03.<a href="http://www.thievesjargon.com/workview.php?work=1188">Thieves Jargon</a> <br />04.<a href="http://www.diddledog.com/0803mundargi.html">Diddledog</a> <br />05.<a href="http://www.theshinejournal.com/mundargitirumal.htm">Shine 10/2008</a> <br />06.<a href="http://elimae.com/2009/02/Omy.html">elimae 2009:02</a> <br />07.<a href="http://50-to-1.blogspot.com/search?q=Tirumal&searchsubmit.x=14&searchsubmit.y=7">50 to 1</a> <br />08.<a href="http://www.elimae.com/2009/03/Nirvana.html">elimae 2009:03</a> <br />09.<a href="http://www.theshinejournal.com/mundargit.htm">Shine 04/2009</a> <br />10.<a href="http://www.elimae.com/2009/04/Krishna.html">elimae 2009:04</a><br />11.<a href="http://www.monkeybicycle.net/archive/Mundargi/neem.html">Monkeybicycle</a> <br />12.<A HREF="http://www.elimae.com/2009/05/El.html">elimae 2009:05</A> <br />13.<a href="http://www.elimae.com/2009/06/Century.html"> elimae 2009:06/07</a> <br />14.<a href="http://sixsentences.blogspot.com/2009/07/charioteer.html"> Six Sentences</a> <br />15.<a href="http://www.elimae.com/2009/08/Moon.html "> elimae 2009:08</a> <br />16.<a href="http://www.elimae.com/2009/09/Ahalya.html "> elimae 2009:09</a> <br />17.<a href="http://wigleaf.com/200908lullaby.htm"> Wigleaf1</a> <br />18.<a href="http://www.wordriot.org/template_2.php?ID=1970"> Word Riot</a><br />19.<a href="http://www.elimae.com/2009/11/Noon.html"> elimae 2009:11</a><br />20.<a href="http://www.writersblocmag.org/archives_05/mundargi_ship.html">Writers Bloc5</a><br />21.<a href="http://www.jstor.org/pss/4396356">Economic and Political Weekly</a><br />22.<a href="http://elimae.com/2009/12/Maid.html"> elimae 2009:12</a><br />23.<a href="http://greysparrowpress.net/WINTERSTORYBIRTHSTAR.aspx"> Grey Sparrow Journal 1</a><br />24.<a href="http://wigleaf.com/201002photograph.htm">Wigleaf2</a><br />25.<a href="http://greysparrowpress.net/Spring2011ShortStoriesMundargi.aspx"> Grey Sparrow Journal 2</a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6975028737193927121-7887940930505940009?l=tirumalmundargi.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>tmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00352522773410979092noreply@blogger.com
