Guest guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 radhe krishna! namo narayana dear bhaagavatas, sorry for the long break in the posts. but we shall now resume the poems on kanna. and we shall start with mira's poems on her giridhar gopal. )) unfortunately, the website that these poems came from do not have the transliterated form.sorry. but they were too good to pass up. poem 1 ****** We do not get a human life Just for the asking. Birth in a human body Is the reward for good deeds In former births. Life waxes and wanes imperceptibly, It does not stay long. The leaf that has once fallen Does not return to the branch. Behold the Ocean of Transmigration. With its swift, irresistible tide. O Lal Giridhara, O pilot of my soul, Swiftly conduct my barque to the further shore. Mira is the slave of Lal Giridhara. She says: Life lasts but a few days only. poem 2 ****** Life in the world is short, Why shoulder an unnecessary load Of worldly relationships? Thy parents gave thee birth in the world, But the Lord ordained thy fate. Life passes in getting and spending, I will sing the praises of Hari In the company of the holy men, Nothing else concerns me. Mira's Lord is the courtly Giridhara, She says: Only by Thy power Have I crossed to the further shore. lottsa krishna premai kalaivani radhegovinda namo venkateshaya andal thiruvadigale sharanam _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
