and now the poems from surdas...

 

THE LORD IS HIS DEVOTEES' SLAVE

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

 

Whatever is a devotee's

caste, clan, family, or name,

Rama's love for him is the same.

 

Beggar and king

are one to him.

 

Say, of what caste could be

Brahma or Shiva?

 

Rama will never abide

in the egotistic man's heart

therefore his slave, Suradasa,

has abandoned pride.

 

Rama was born in the Raghu clan

Krishna found his home in Gokula.

 

Words fail to tell of

the Lord's love

universal, all-embracing;

Dhruva was a Kshatriya,

Prahlada a demon and Vidura the son of a maid:

yet the Lord gave them his supreme love,

Krishna washed the devotees' feet

at the Rajasuya.

 

The Lord is the slave

of his devotees

age after age.

The tongue can't relate

his countless deeds.

 

Says Suradasa, the Puranas and Vedas

are witness to these.

 

THE DEEDS OF KRISHNA

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

 

There is no end to the deeds of Krishna:

true to his pomise, he tended the cows in Gokula;

Lord of the gods and compassionate to his devotees,

he came as Nrisingha

and tore apart Hiranyakashipa.

When Bali spread his dominion

over the three worlds,

he begged three paces of land from him

to uphold the majesty of the gods,

and stepped over his entire domain:

here too he rescued the captive elephant.

Countless such deeds figure in the Vedas and the Puranas,

hearing which Suradasa

humbly bows before that Lord.

 

lottsa krishna premai

2 all.....

kalaivani

radhe krishna

 

p.s and i would like to thank anbil ramaswamy prabhu 4 inviting adiyal to

glad 2 join the family.

 

hari hari

 

 

 

radhe krishna!
