The Children - Shyama Sastrigal and Sri Ramakrishna

[Guest guest]

Sri Rama Jayam

 

Namaskarams to all,

 

I was listening to a rendition of the Begada composition "Kamakshi" of Syama

Sastrigal by Vijay Siva. After reading the lyrics, I could just think of nothing

else, but the similar emotions displayed by the Avathara Purusha, Sri

Ramakrishna towards his beloved, Dakshineshwar Kali. How childlike should Shyama

Sastrigal have been, outpouring the same sentiments as Sri Ramakrishna? The

Gospel of Ramakrishna gives several instances of his innocence where he would

ask the Divine Mother for her guidance and clarifications. Syama Sastrigal also

portrays the same where he says "am disgusted with running behind the fickle

minded, lustul ignorant ones and listening to their tales. Will I go astray?"

 

No wonder, both were the Beloved of Kamakshi and Kamakshi, their beloved.
