Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 thanx colin for this valuable information. kanhapada, the kapalika, was one of a few poets who poularized the use of 'sandhya bhasha' or twilight language of tantra through the medium of poetry. my first love is dance and poetry is my passion. unfortunately all these poems are written in bengali which i believe is as musical as french. so, the translations do not do them full justice... here is one of kanhapada's poems on GURU on this day dedicated to guru ! enjoy!!!! The mind is a tree, the five senses are its branches. Hope bears fruits and leaves in abundance. Kanhu says : using the advice of Guru as an axe cut off the branches so that passion, desire or thirst does not grow back. The tree grows in the water of righteousness. The Guru is witness, the wise uproot it. One who does not know the mysteryof this tree's growth and destruction. fool is he to have to come back again and again in the Samsara receive pain. Kanhapada love !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
