Sundara Manmatha Koti Prakaasha,Hare Sri Krishna
When i am about to die, the only forms that should appear b4 me should be that of the Lord (Krishna) with the beautiful flute kept on his lips , with the peacock plumes slantingly placed on his head and with the body as blue as bluestone
Swami Desikan in GopAla Vimshathi

Ode to find your "Hari"-ness

Dear fellow aatmans,

Here is me giving a shot at something different. Hope , you would bear with it :)

Please Do let me know your thoughts.

CAVEAT: This is my first ever attempt

Aye young man,
You seeketh that One moment of pride,
You seeketh that fleeting time amidst mansions
Your mind , jumping like a monkey
From One Object to another.

Aye young man,
You give your ears to all kinds of noise.
Your eyes, unaware of the demon veiled by illusion
Your tongue failing to sense the life in food
What do you seeketh after all?

Aye young man,
Let your mind to think about Hari
Your Voice anointing him with the fragrance of the Saptha Swaras
Gifting your ears with the sweetness of NadaBrahmam (Divine Sound)
Casting your mind upon Hari, Before eating the first morsel of Food.
You ask, What else would I seeketh ??

UPDATE :


Tamil Translation:


Adiyen , Oru vaasgarin virupathal , meLirikkum Aangila Kavithayai Mozhipeyarka Muyandrirukkiren. Pizhaigazhai Manithu Karuthezhuthavum :)


Naadinaan, andha oru gana perumaiyai
Thedinaan, andha aranmanai Vaazhkayai
KurangaiPOl , avan manam , Oru poruzhil Oru ganam
Maru Poruzhil Maruganam

Sevikku , pala vidha AravAram
Peyai ariyaa maayayil avanin KanGaL
Unavil Uyir Ariyaa Avan Naaku
Ivaigazhai Naaduvathen?

Kamalakkannanin visayil Nin Manam
Iniya sapthaswarangazhal andha Vaasudevanai abishekhum Nin Kural
naadhabramathAl , madhurathil nin sevigal
Unbatharku mun , nin manam Avan visaiyil
VerEythum Nin Manam Naadumaa?

@Krishna - This post feels like you have written the whole thing in some other language - Tamil/Telugu/Sanskrit and then translated it. Which also goes to say that if you had written this originally in English, translating it to Tamil/Telugu/Sanskrit would give a wonderful composition for all of us!! Why don't you try?

Sorry for this late comments. Again Bakthi speaks through u'r words.

 

Blogger krishna said ... (2:50 PM) : 

Dear Kasthuri,

You really dont have to ask sorry to me.

The words were his . I am just one of the servants trying to do the best I can with the gift of bhakthi that he has given me.:)
