Vyas-purnim- 2018

Sri Krishna-dvaipayan
Veda Vyas, Vedas- He divided
color of Krishna- Narayan
the world is forever indebted
Badrikasram- Narayan´s abode
Ved, Purana, Upanisad,
pilgrim told the land is cold
heart still not satisfied
"Oh, Narad! why not?"
"Krishna-tattva, you forgot!"
by force of devotion
deep trance He went
crossing all lines
bhuh, bhuvah, svah
mahah, jana, tapa, satya
Vaikunth, Ayodhya, Dvarak, Mathura
Golok- Vraj, lila-darshan
writing, generating the heat
throught Srimad Bhagavatam
fully satisfied, warmed the heart

Srila Sachidanand Bhaktivinod Thakur- tirobhav-tithi

Oh! Sacidananda Sri Bhaktivinod!
the life and soul of Srila Prabhupad!
manifestation of Sri Gadadhar
greatest follower of Rupa Goswamipad
the holy scriptures you have churned
marvellous sinthesis from it emerged
who can doubt You are the emperor
of the pure, religious and self realized!
The prophet of highest devotion
of what seemed to be lost
The Bhaghirath Rsi of Bhakti-Ganga!
Oh You! Who assumed that post!
Gaudiya siddhanta
Gaudiya dhama
Sri Bhaktissidhanta
Gaudiya kirtana
from you have manifested
Oh, devotional arquitect!
to Your Divine lotus feet
i bow down with all respect
Today a little i walked
theology- sastra, knowledge- thinking
for a moment i realized
everything came from You- Oh King!
