surdas's poems

[Guest guest]

NarAyanAya Namaha!

 

dear bhaktas/tais,

adiyal came across a poem by Surdas. i reallly njoyed the rasam in it and i

would like u all 2 njoy it as well. (nan petra inbam peruga ivvaiyagam.--

hope i said it correctly)

 

here it is:-

 

The mother says 'Dance!

Krishna, dance and I'll give you butter!'

His tiny feet pound and stamp uponthe earth,

His ankle bells ring;

Sur sings the praises of His name,

earth and heaven resound with His fame,

but the Lord of the Three Worlds,

dances for His butter.

 

another one is:-

 

He whose glances frighten Time itself

Him his mother threatens with a stick.

He, the fear of whom drives wind and water,

sun and moon,

He moves at the threat of a little stick.

which form pervades earth and sea,

yet is not to be found in the Vedas

that form you cause to dance at a snap of your fingers,

here in your own very yard.

He who bore the mountain and the Tortoise,

the gods and the demons and the snake,

with never a moment's fear

He falls from the weight of his bracelets,

stands only with the gopi's helping hands.

 

hope u njoyed it as much as i did.

i shall try 2 get some more poems.

 

if anyone knows where i can get more poems by Surdas (in English), i'd be

very grateful.

 

regards

kalaivani

 

radhe govinda!
