A PLEA AGAINST MY PLEA

Whenever I want to lord it over this material Town

Start acting arrogant and proud and start longing for a Crown

In the fathomless ocean of your causeless mercy, please let me Drown

When away from the light, under the thin but unbreakable ice sheet of ignorance, I Drown

Shivering in the waters of passion underneath, I struggle with handcuffs of my past deeds in this criminal Town

Help me head-butt my way through the ice with the strongest element, your love, in the shape of a Crown

When greed starts controlling my mind and sits atop my head as the devil’s Crown

I act stubborn like a child and into the sinking sand of bewilderment and illusion I again begin to Drown

Even against my foolish plea, please pull me like a good parent back onto the track towards your blissful spiritual Town

Prayer for Radharani

Oh! Radharani…

One who steals the heart of Madana Mohana Cita-Hari…

One whose heart and mind is always fixed on Kunja-Vihari…

Please bestow your mercy upon me…

Oh! Radharani…

One whose heart dances to the tune of Vamsi-Dhari…

One who upholds the highest example of love for Giri-Dhari…

Please bestow your mercy upon me…

Oh! Radharani…

One who is the energy of the supreme energetic Madhusudana…

One who is the daughter of Vrshabhanu and mother Kirtida…

Please bestow your mercy upon me…

Oh! Radharani…

One whose affection never strays from Achyuta…

One who always thinks of Rupa-Manohara Shyamasundara…

Please bestow your mercy upon me…

Oh! Radharani…

One who is the most beloved amongst Krishna’s gopis…

One who has been worshiped and glorified by all great rishis…

Please bestow your mercy upon me…

Oh! Radharani…

One whose pure unalloyed devotion broke the pride of Uddhava…

One who captures the heart of the all pervading Vasudeva…

Please bestow your mercy upon me…

OH LORD..

OH LORD! YOUR MERCY HAS CONQUERED MY POLLUTED MIND…

I HAVE FINALLY UNDERSTOOD HOW MUCH YOU ARE KIND…

YOUR LIMITLESS MERCY HAS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES…

I HAD THOUGHT YOU ABANDONED ME BUT IT WAS ME WHO BROKE THE TIES..

OH LORD! I CAME TO STAND ALONE ON THESE LOOSE GROUNDS…

TO CHALLENGE BY MYSELF A PACK OF HUNGRY HOUNDS…

OH HOW FOOLISH I WAS TO THINK I COULD LIVE HAPPILY WITHOUT YOU…

HOW CHILDISH TO FROGET THAT ANY STRGGLE IS MEANINGLESS UNLESS ITS DONE FOR YOU…

OH LORD! YOU DESCEND WITH YOUR LOTUS FET FOR OUR SAKE..

TO DELIVER THE DIRTY CREATURES OF THIS MUDDY MATERIAL LAKE…

THE DARK ROOM WAS FILLED UP BY YOUR DIVINE LIGHT THROUGH THE CREVICES…

AND SHOWED THE PATH TO ONE OF THE UTMOST BLIND NOVICES…

OH LORD! IT HAS TAKEN SO LONG FOR ME TO ACHIEVE THIS REALISATION….

NO I SURRENDER UNTO YOU WITH JUST ONE LITTLE CONDITION…

JUST GUIDE ME TO SERVE YOU IN EVERY SECOND OF MY EXISTENCE…

AND SATISFY YOUR SUPREME SENSES WITH TIRELESS PERSISTENCE…
