[Guest guest]

radhe govinda

namo venkateshaya

 

dear bhaagavatas,

we shall njoy the following poems by surdas. these poems cover the awakening

of our darling kanna.

 

['Friend, I could not wake That darling boy, For when I gazed on his

charming face My eyes, filled with greed To keep drinking in its loveliness,

Did not let my tongue speak.']

 

 

 

AWAKE O! PRINCE OF BRAJ

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

 

Awake, Krishna, awake the lotus-petals open the water-lilies droop the

bumblebees have left the creepers cocks crow, and birds chirp on the trees.

The cows are in the byre lowing; they run after their calves; the moon fades

before the sun. Men and women arise and joyfully sing their songs; Krishna,

of hands lotus-like awake, for the day is about to dawn.

 

NANDA BEHOLDS KRISHNA’S FACE

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

 

Parted nightlong from his beloved child Nanda could no longer restrain

himself and lifting from his face the coverlet gazed upon it; no more the

night was oppressive: the gods it seemed had churned the sea, and through

its foam the moon was seen resplendent in the sky."

 

Says Suradasa, the cowherd lads and maids learning that their beloved

Krishna was awake forgot all else and ran to his bedside.

 

 

 

 

THE FORMLESS BRAHMA HAS INCARNATED AS KRISHNA

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

 

Krishna awoke;

 

Yashoda was enraptured to see his face blooming as a lotus that captures the

rising sun's first rays. Taking off the coverlet she said, 'awake, darling

boy, awake, your loveliness makes me swoon your bewitching face is like the

full moon seen through the sea's foam when it was churned for nectar.'

 

He for whom the Shrutis say 'not this, not this’ whose name is chanted by

Brahma, Shesha and Shiva that Formless Brahma has taken birth in Braj, in

human form, so 'tis heard.
