OUR  APPEAL, DESIRE TO SEE YOU IN PERSON  MAULI

Our dearest Vithu mauli, on behalf of all Warkari’s

Wish to convey to you in the humblest of humble prostration,

We want to see you in person, our time here is very limited,

Unasked you have given more and much more,

Some of us feel we should ask to get,  while others feel not to ask,

But have decided to represent all your loved ones in all the worlds and

Without any shame, guilt and with full confidence want to ask, under your divine grace,

You may wonder and question us what is our qualification for such a lofty desire?

Yes, our mother dearest, we have qualities but no qualifications,

Will you not confirm to us how a child can live without seeing its mother?

We, who have borne onslaught upon onslaught from all directions,

Yet our faith in you has only strengthened, grown and multiplied

We have blamed our karmic residue but never questioned yourself,

Have we not, with nothing to boast of, come to your rescue at all times?

When anyone uttered anything about you that we did not endorse,

Is this not enough, my dearest mauli, Vithu, Amaraprabhu, Aprameya,

You of unfathomable stature, can definitely bank upon us a non entity,

To be at your side at all times to lovingly serve you unconditionally,

Our desire to see you in person in your lovely pitaambari (golden vastram)

With Rakumaai amma, and her most beautiful compassionate smile,

Please do not appear before us in your Vishwaroopam, for it

Will frighten us beyond, even for a second, if you appear before us,

It would be a lifetime here and hereafter, we will bow with devotion,

And touch only your golden lotus feet again and again,

 But with our dearest Lakshmi amma, we will take more liberties; we will sit on her lap,

For at all times, she has carried, so lovingly, all our petitions to you, so we fear her less than you,

For how can we effortlessly shrink the gap between Parmaatman (yourself) and jivaatman (us)?

None but only you can, if you please, but appear before us, you should, our dearest Sri Krishna,

Your ways we know not, for you suddenly accord your darshan before those who do not crave,

While seers and saints who have practiced countless penances of the highest order you do not please,

We, who live, breathe; think of none but yourself, why don’t you appear before us?

Please let us know our areas of deficiencies and faults, we will improve but do not say no to us,

We promise you, when we see you in person, we will not beg and  ask for anything at all,

For we fully acknowledge that by giving us unlimited and beyond , you surely are very tired,

We will not even utter a word other than your uncountable holiest of holy names,

 Madhava, Keshava, Murli Mohana , Sri Govinda, Narayanaya, Madhusudana, Vithu

 Sri Ram Krishna Hari, Vasudeva, Aniruddha, Pradhyumna, Narsimha, Balaraama,

And countless others, we will show our most pristine love for you and Lakshmi amma,

Am very sure, you too only want that, yet you take time to come to us, know not why

Our Mauli dearest, is there even a single reason, please let us know,

We do not crave anything material, yes, sins countless we have collected,

Even after Prapatti (total unconditional surrender) we err to the very highest,

But despite all, is it not the duty of a mother to come immediately when her children call?

Why mauli, you are taking so much time, we cannot wait any further,

We know you wanted our collective plea to reach you, now that we have put it before you,

We see no reason for you not to appear, Vithu mauli please do not say no.

Sorry, we had to be a little assertive, but all done with purest of pure thoughts,

Hail Hail, my dearest mauli, today and ever, please do not laugh at us,

We are sure you will  come now, we are waiting indefinitely with joined hands raised above,

Please come, welcome, welcome again, Vithu dearest, for us to dance, sing and clap with joy………….
