Re: Sri. Krishna Janmashtami- kṛṣṇa janmāṣṭami कृष्ण जन्माष्टमी August 22, 2011
In the ignorant days of past
From the quicksand of material world
You come here to pull us out
In those wee hours of Brahma-muhUrta dawn
As sleep still covered the mind
Made a herbal paste of many herbs
With lots of love, mortar and peslte
And sweet halwA-shira of ghee
In a large bowl did nestle
Applied the paste to Your Lotus Feet
Poured crystal pure Ganga-jal over Them
Only to find a surprise nectar so sweet
They were glowing - flourescent blue !
Yes, Your Lotus Feet that give salvation
From Which the Ganga flows
Those Very Feet that are the source and sink
Of this adhyAtma-path and realization
Nectar for the eyes, they could not move
Away from the beautifully flourescent Feet
That illuminated the pitch-darkness of dawn
Tears of joy rolling down in the silence of the morn
Offered Naivedya sweet
Woke up smiling to brush it away
And forgot all about it
Instinct made her cook a sumptuous meal
And offer it as naivedya - this she did not know why
No explanation for this behavior whatsoever
Silly, shook her head, the day passed by
At night when all the world slept
She accidentally saw on TV
The news was playing on screen
Today was Shri KrushNa JanmAshtami !!
Oh my g o o d n e s s !
It was none other that Shri KrushNa JanmAshtami ~
(That was Janmashtami 2006)
