Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 radhe krishna. dear bhaagavathas, i'm going 2b posting more of these poems i came across. if anyone would like to read the book itself, it is as follows: Krishna: the playful divine by Pavan K Varma publiser: Viking now we shall go on to the poems.... KRISHNA IN THE CRADLE ********************* Yasoda lulling Hari to sleep, Shaking the cradle, cuddling and fondling, Singing to Him a song. My darling is sleepy Why doesn't sleep come along? Come sleep, come quickly Kanha for you does long. Sometimes He closes His eyes Sometimes His lips are aflutter. Thinking He has fallen asleep Yasoda stops her singing. Awake still, He's up suddenly Enjoying Yasoda's song. Such joy as Yasoda feels Is unattainable to the gods. KRISHNA CRAWLING **************** Chuckling, Kanha came crawling, Trying to catch His reflection In the bejewelled courtyard of Nanda. One moment He would stare at His shadow Then move His hands to hold it Chuckling in delight, two teeth showing Again and again He would try. Calling Nanda to come and see Yasoda watched in joy Then covering Sur's Lord with her aanchal (tailpieve of the sari) She began to feed her boy. since the poems are already translated, i don't have the original version (hindhi/sanskrit), sorry. ok,i'll sign off here. take care of urselfs. regards kalaivani radhe krishna! _______________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
