Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Dear all, Here is a beautiful poem by an unknown author: My ship, traveling into the oceans called life, It carries people; good, bad, beautiful, ugly, poor, rich, young and adult. On our journey sometimes waves come up roaring, With storms that batter recklessly. But the walls of my ship are built firmly, No matter how hard the situation, my Captain maneuvers wisely. My entire load, I trust to Him to keep it safe. With his expertise, I need not to worry. Sometimes the water is calm and sunshine makes my ship glittery, And sometimes the air blows angrily, makes my ship quiver enormously. Frightening thunder and horrible sharks ready to attack my load mercilessly, But my Captain I trust. I can sleep well, peacefully. Onto their destination, they can go victoriously, Because of my Captain, I truly trust sincerely. Regards and prayers Savitri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hare Krishna Guruvayurappa!Talking about the ship and its captain, I am reminded of the sloka from Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.22 spoken by Shaunaka to Sri Suta:tvam nah sandarshito dhaatraa dustaram nistiteershataamkalim satva-haram pumsaam karnadhaara ivaarnavam"We think that we have met Your Goodness by the will of providence, just so that we may accept you as captain of the ship for those who desire to cross the difficult ocean of Kali, which deteriorates all the good qualities of a human being."Srila Prabhupada's Purport:The age of Kali is very dangerous for the human being. Human life is simply meant for self-realization, but due to this dangerous age, men have completely forgotten the aim of life. In this age, the life span will gradually decrease. People will gradually lose their memory, finer sentiments, strength, and better qualities. A list of the anomalies for this age is given in the Twelfth Canto of this work. And so this age is very difficult for those who want to utilize this life for self-realization. The people are so busy with sense gratification that they completely forget about self-realization. Out of madness they frankly say that there is no need for self-realization because they do not realize that this brief life is but a moment on our great journey towards self-realization. The whole system of education is geared to sense gratification, and if a learned man thinks it over, he sees that the children of this age are being intentionally sent to the slaughterhouses of so-called education. Learned men, therefore, must be cautious of this age, and if they at all want to cross over the dangerous ocean of Kali, they must follow the footsteps of the sages of Naimisharanya and accept Sri Suta Gosvami or his bona fide representative as the captain of the ship. The ship is the message of Lord Sri Krishna in the shape of Bhagavad-Gita or the Srimad Bhagavatam.==-sriram--- On Tue, 12/8/09, mprnair <nairradhakrishnan wrote:mprnair <nairradhakrishnanRE: [Guruvayur] Namasthe- poem by an unknown author.guruvayur Date: Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 11:44 PM Guruvayoorappa.
