The four goals of Life

With four arms , HE shows us
A Gadha , A Chakra , A Shanku and A Padma

 Each having its own meaning
Gadha denotes constraint of desires

 Chakra is the Dharma Chakra
Removing Adharma and maintaining Dharma


Shanku is the symbol of Prosperity
Its Lakshmi , who is the first devotee


Padma is the lotus
Which denotes peace and non attachment


These four also stand for the four goals
Dharma , Artha , Kama and Moksha


Choose any or all of them,
Shri Hari bestows to the sincere seeker


You may not get it all at once
It may take years or many lives


Strange are the ways of Divine
These four goals are for the mundane


For His greatest devotee , Shri Hanuman
None of these, desired the mighty Pavamana


He said "I dont want any of these four,
All I want is you , Shri Ram!"
