nine summer nights

A bird sits on her eggs and hatches them by body warmth.

A fish swims around her nest; and hatches her eggs by looking at them.

A turtle paddles far away in the waters.
And suddenly remembers her nest at the beach.
Memory cracks shells; and hatch-lings clamber out.

Visalakshi of Varanasi gives Sparsh Diksha - Initiation by touch.
Meenakshi of Madurai gives Nayana Diksha - Initiation by vision.
Kamakshi of Kanchi is known to give Kamata Diksha - Initiation by thought.

- Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, Kanchi
