Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 Krishna wants to go to the forest to tend the cows, and His other fondles Him, not wanting to let Him go. Everyday Krishna has to convince whole of Vraja not to come with Him to the forest. (Because they all want to follow Him). Anxiously Mother Yasoda holds her son to her chest and tells Him, while bathing Him in her own tears: hiyaaya aaguni bharaa aankhi bohe bahu dhaaraa dukhe buka vidariyaa yaay ghara para naahi jaane, se janaa colilaa vane, e taapa kemone sahe yaaya "My heart is filled with fire and many streams (of tears) flow from my eyes. My heart is breaking out of misery!... How can I tolerate this burning feeling?" ore mora jiivana dulaaliyaa! kibaa ghare naahi dhana, keno vaa yaaibe vana, raakhaala raakhibe dhenu loiyaa dhru "O child of my heart! Don`t we have enough wealth in the house already? You are not from a poor family! Why do You have to go to the forest then? Let the cowherdboys go out with the cows into the forest!" "aage paache naahi moraa, haaputira putra toraa, aandhala koriyaa yaabi more dudhera chaaoyaala hoiyaa, vane yaabe dhenu loiyaa, ki dhekhi rahibo aami ghare? "Exept for You I don`t know anyone else, so if you accidentally become hurt I`ll be driven blind! Being My suckling boy, why are you taking your cows into the forest? Can I just remain at home, peacefull watching it?" nanii jini tanukhaani, aatape milaaya jaani. se bhaye saghane praana kaampe baadava anala paaraa, vishama ravira khara, kemone sahibe heno taape? "Your body is even softer than butter! I`m shivering of fear when I think what will happen when the harsh sunrays will touch You. How will you tolerate such heat?" kushera ankura bodo, shelera samaana dada, shunite sinidaa pode gaaya shirisha kusuma dala, jiniyaa caranatala, kemone dhaaibe heno paaya "I`m afraid the big Kusha-grassroots will hurt You like javelins. Hearing it I sprinkle my body (with tears). How will Your footsoles, that are more tender than Shirisha-flowerpetals, run over this ground?" maayera karunaa vaanii, shuniyaa gokula mani koto mate maayere bujhaaya. vishaada naa koro mone, kichu bhay naahi vane, ithe saathi e shekhara raaya "Hearing His mother`s pitiful words, Gokula-mani, Krishna, explains His mother in so many ways: "Don`t be sad at heart! There is nothing to fear in the forest!", and Raaya Shekhara is the witness! When Krishna, the jewel of Gokula, hears these pitiful words He consoles His mother by saying: "Maa! you have not seen the forest of Vrindavan! Don`t worry in vain! The forestpaths are softened by flowers falling from the trees and vines and there are no sharp pebbles or thorns there. We always play in the shade of the trees and the sharp sunrays cannot harm us! The bumblebees zoom around the blooming honey-filled flowers, different birds are blissfully chirping and we enjoy eating the sweet and ripe pomegranates that fall from the trees. In the evening we simply blow our flutes in the flowergardens to call our peacefully grazing cows together before we return home. Maa! Will you deprive us of this festival of bliss by keeping Me locked in the house the whole day? On the strength of your footdust nothing will happen to us, Maa! And what`s more, the cows do not want to go in the forest without Me!" Mother thinks: "Aha, if my Gopala feels so happy in the forest, then let Him go." Then she utters the Nrishimha-Mantras for Gopal`s protection. >From Vrajavasi songs (lila-kirtanas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
