Who calls you whore, o mother,
who spits upon you?
May be, a chaste woman like Seeta
suckled you milk.
Though not chaste, you belong to the family
of our mothers and sisters;
Your sons are like us, they are our kinsmen;
Like us, they may earn, too, fame and honour;
Their devotion may make them reach
the gate of heaven.
The son of the heaven-whore Ghritachi
was the great warrior Drona.
Krishna-Daipayan respected world-widewas the son of an unmarried girl.
Karna, the benevolent charioteer,was born of a maiden.
Ganges expelled from heavengot Shiva as her husband.
King Shantanu, too, begged love to her.
Their son was immortal Bheeshma,
to whom Krishna paid homage.
Satyakama became the sagewho was the illegitimate son of Jabala.
Jesus whose birth was a great mystery
became the great lover!
None is stained with sin here,
none an object of hatred;
Millions ofholy lotus bloom herein the lake of lust.
Listen to the words of the sage:
There lies no shame of the mankindover their birth.
You have committed sin;That is why, have you no right to return to virtue?
Gods have committed hundreds of sin;still their divineness has not got lost.
If Ahalya got redemption and Marry turned to be a goddess,
why wouldn’t you be worthy of worship
serving the truth?
Who the fanatic speak ill of your soncalling a bastard?
I ask them only these two questions:
I ask you, o god: One and a half crore childrenare the inhabitants of earth;
How many parents ofthem desired their sons and daughters getting free of lust?
How many are pure and chaste?
How many got obsessed in divine contemplation to have children?
For whose sin, do millions of sucklings die in the cradle?
Purely from the carnal urge, men and women copulate;
We are the children born of that lust; still what a pride!
O the religious leaders, listen:
There lies no difference between the legitimate and the illegitimate.
If the son of an unchaste mother is illegitimate,
so is the son of an unchaste father, no doubt!
