Based on Monette B.’s (Fairy Guruschka) experience
The only land where miracles are common
Is India Divine, I knew that since my youth.
In a temple, I was not preached a sermon —
A yogi’s eyes were speaking gospel truth.
He was white-haired and wore ochre clothes,
Padmasana displayed that he was barefoot.
He could distinguish me between the others
Because in India I quested for my roots.
His probing glance — and I was fascinated,
Submissive to his will, I sat in front of him.
He gazed into my eyes as I was nominated
For Medium, the yogi’s Western Beam.
We sat in silence, his hand atop my head.
I couldn’t move, it was difficult to breathe…
“Your whole chakras are asleep”, he said,
“You can’t take in the Eastern light with ease”.
…As if his hand went down through my chest,
Inside, I felt a liquid pushing back and forth…
Of all my life, those moments were the best,
My reconnection with the Universe.
O tears of bliss! The total world was in aura.
The yogi said, “Now listen to my forecast,
You have just been reincarnated as aurora,
Please keep the light; this Karma is your last”.

An Indian reader's comment:
Paul, this was the very nice poem which you wrote and I really do not know what comments I can give when it is written so expressively. I think every word of the poem describes the longing for spiritual experience of the seeker and how he gets blessed by the illuminated yogi. Many people won’t believe that the goal of human birth should be to get spiritually advance but spiritually inclined people will definitely get touched by your words. It is really appreciable especially on the background which you have mentioned that you do not have any direct experience of a Yogi.

Another Indian reader's comment:
"Illumination" is so well composed. And it does not give an impression that it is a second hand account. You have rightfully captured the spirit of Indian Philosophy by focussing on the importance of light. The GAYATRI MANTRA speaks of light. It's a very powerful chant and you can feel the energy racing through your body as you recite it. The Yogi's western beam reminds me of the third eye of Lord Shiva. It looks like India is your spiritual home. It will be great to have you here in Rishikesh.
