Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 radhe govinda venkateshaya namaha dear bhaagavatas, here are the continuation on the poems by surdas... KRISHNA AWAKES ************** Krishna awake, for the day has dawned: large, deep and lotus-like, your eyes are as in the love-shaped lake a pair of swans even a million Kamadevas cannot vie with the bewitching beauty of your face; the sun rises in the east, a crimson ball the night is going and the moonlight pales the lamps turn dim and the stars fade out as though the bright radiance of wisdom's rays dispels the pleasures that the senses tire, and the light of hope chases away the murky darkness of despair and doubt. Listen, the birds sing aloud with glee O sweet child, life of my life, my sole wealth, O darling boy, bards and minstrels sing your praises, saying 'victory! victory!' Clusters of lotuses burst into bloom the bumblebees humming with sweet sound leave the lotuses; as though the devout renouncing worldly ties, in your love drowned chant your name as they go about. Hearing his mother's words with love drenched the Lord of Mercy arose from his bed; the world's woes vanished, maya's net was rent. Says Suradasa, 'Seeing his lotus face delusion fled; all doubts and dualities were destroyed and I found in Govinda eternal joy. THE WELCOME OF THE WOMEN OF BRAJ ******************************** 'Tis morn, O Krishna, awake, all the pretty young milkmaids are calling for you; arise O Braj's prince, The sun is up in the sky, the moon pales, the tender tamala trees are in full bloom . The women of Braj have stringed a garland of flowers of many kinds and wait to greet you. Arise dear child, wash your face and have your breakfast, O my heart's delight! Says Sura, my Lord of large lotus-like eyes is the abode of bliss that never abates. THE INVIGORATING DAWN ********************* Awake, O Krishna awake, the night has gone arise, no longer laze breathe the pure air of early morn; the cowherd-lads come and gaze at you, and seeing you asleep, depart as swarms of bumblebees fly from the lotus clusters. O darling boy, dark as the tamala, if you don't believe me, open your large eyes and see for yourself. sri andal thiruvadigale sharanam sri ranganaayaki sametha ranganaatha parabrahmane namaha wishes, kalaivani radhe shyam radhe krishna! _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
