Your Poetry Dot Com - It is my blood line..

My blood line started from sage Abhuvanas
One among the great sages of Rig-Veda who
Sang hymns on Lord Viswakarma, the creator,
And lived not less than five thousand years ago!

The ancient sages of my clan were great scholars
Artists, architects, gold smiths and great sculptors
They knew science of space craft and traveled a lot
Through astral planes which now they have forgot!

Two thousand years ago my family came to the banks
Of river Krishna and became famous for their sculpture,
Sage Nagarjuna the greatest Buddhist scholar and seer
The then teacher of all was also one of my ancestors!

During 9th and 10th centuries we worked in villages as
Administrators for some time under the rule of Andhra
Chalukya kings on the banks of the south Indian rivers
Later under the British rule we as smiths and carpenters!

In our families even today we follow Vedic traditions
A man of our families should learn a holy Vedic hymn
Should practice principles of truth and non-violence
And also to follow the righteous path to attain beatitude!

Now my friends I can proudly state that I am an Indian
Who follow the righteous path taught by ancient sages
Who followed principles of truth, non violence, peace
Service to men and devotion to Lord Shiva the great god!
