Solar Power – I

a poem by Ramesh T A

O Sun! A Star of the Universe! I salute you!
Your great power is invincible and ever lasting;
In this system nothing can stand before you and
Everything has to bow down before your Power!

You are the creator, preserver and destroyer of all;
You the seven horse chariot rider rule all nine planets
Preserving the only Earthly paradise for men to live;
You are the Ra of Egyptians that Indians pray as Surya!

In Nature you are the topmost all Nature worshippers salute;
Next, the cool bright Moon is just reflecting your own light
And is the auspicious symbol for the followers of Islam
Besides the Christmas Star is cherished most by Christians!

Hindus worship in the temples facing the rising Sun in the East;
Muslims worship Allah facing Mecca, crescent Moon in the west;
Jews worship fire, the symbol of Burning Bush Moses saw at Sinai;
So, Fire, Sun, Star and Moon are material symbols of God for men.

Siva and Vishnu are the lightning and Sun of God in Nature that
Hindus worship most in the temples facing the morning rising Sun
That gives brightness of mind and light of knowledge to see truth
And live life of love in joy and prosperity in the human society!

Religiously and scientifically much significance is there about Sun,
Which is the only Power first and last ruling all in the Solar System.
Past, present and future under its influence only all other planets
That affect the Earth and life also orbit round the Sun in the Sky.

Sun is the source of energy for all, animate and inanimate things
For growth, survival and for full development of evolution too.
Without Sun’s energy there is no life, growth and fruition and
Regeneration for plants, animals and men on this unique Earth!
