Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Aum Amriteswaryai Namaha! Very happy birthday to Sri Krishna, and happy happy Janmashtami to the divine beauties of the Amma-!! I salute the Krishna in YOU, Amma's brat ................................................... Krishna Learns to Walk Kanna walks Two steps at a time, Yasoda's desires see Fulfilment sublime. 'Runuk jhunk' sing His anklets, A sound So pleasing to the mind. He sits, But then is up immediately, A sight difficult to describe. All the ladies of Braj never tire Of seeing such beauty divine. ~ Surdas ....................................................... The heart of Mira is entangled In the beauty of the feet of her Guru; Nothing else causes her delight! He enabled her to be happy in the drama of the world; The Knowledge he gave her dried up The ocean of being and becoming. Mira says: My whole world is Shri Krishna; Now that my gaze is turned inward, I see it clearly. ~ Mirabai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 > > Very happy birthday to Sri Krishna, and happy happy > Janmashtami to the divine > beauties of the Amma-!! > I celebrated Janmashtami last night with some high-octane kirtan, and Sri Krishna arati at 12:00 midnight. There was quite a big crowd at my local temple - could be some Hindus only go to temple for Janmasthami and Shiva Ratri, like Christians who only go to church on Christmas and Easter, or Jews who only go to synagogue on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. > ....................................................... > The heart of Mira is entangled > In the beauty of the feet of her Guru; > Nothing else causes her delight! > He enabled her to be happy in the drama of the > world; > The Knowledge he gave her dried up > The ocean of being and becoming. > Mira says: My whole world is Shri Krishna; > Now that my gaze is turned inward, I see it clearly. > > ~ Mirabai Here's another song by Mirabai (translated by A.J. Alston) Come to my house, O Krishna, Thy coming will bring peace. Great will by my joy if I meet Thee, And all my desires will be fulfilled. Thou and I are one, Like the sun and its heat. Mira's heart cares for nothing else, It only wants the beautiful Shyam. Hari Bol!! Keval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
