om namo narayanaaya namaha

radhe govinda!

 

dear bhaagavatas,

here's the continuation on surdas's poems.

 

KRISHNA DENYING HE STOLE THE BUTTER

***********************************

O mother mine, i did not eat the butter

come dawn, with the herds,

you send me to the jungle,

o, mother mine, i did not eat the butter.

all day long with my flute in the jungles

at dusk do i return home.

but a child, younger than my friends

how could i reach up to the butter?

all the gopas are against me

on my face they wipe the butter,

you mother, are much too innocent,

you believe all their chatter.

there is a flaw in your behaviour,

you consider me not yours,

take you herd-stick and the blanket

i'll dance to your tune no longer.

Surdas, Yasoda then laughed,

and took the boy in her arms,

mother mine i did not eat the butter.

 

KRISHNA RETURNING WITH THE HERD

*******************************

 

Mohan comes herding the cows,

crown of peacock feathers on his head,

garland of forest flowers on his chest,

in his hand a wooden staff,

his body wrapped in cow-dust.

a band around his waist

and from his feet the sound of anklets

there amidst his cow-boy friends

Shyam comes. his yellow garments standing out

like lightning amidst the clouds.

 

lottsa krishna premai 2 all

kalaivani

 

hari bol.

 

radhe krishna!
