My dear fellow Vaishnavas,

 

Please accept my humble obeisences. I am new to this forum.

 

I would like to post on this forum some of my devotional poems which I write as my spiritual master has ordered me to dove-tail my writing skills in the service of Krishna.

 

Here's my humble attempt to express my devotional feelings in poetry.

 

<font color="blue">

* lost soul *

 

So lost i was in

worldly matters

I looked for diamonds

amidst the trashes.

 

So lost i was in

chasing illusion

I got entangled

in webs of confusion.

 

Entangled i was yet

thought i was free

I had chained my soul

only my senses were free.

 

When senses were pleased

i thought it was 'joy'

Little did i know that

it was all maya's ploy.

 

Obeisences to my guru

who opened my eyes

Who burnt my ignorance

and showed me light.

 

Now that i have found

my soul's lost place.

I'm no more in a rush,

and no more in a chase.

 

Tears of gratitude

wash down my face

As i realize oh Lord!

Your Infinite Grace.

Thank you all for appreciating the poem. It is such a pleasure to share the devotional outpourings with fellow Vaishnavas. I want to sincerely thank the people behind this web based forum. You are doing a wonderful service to Krishna in providing a platform for devotees to share our thoughts with each other.

 

My name - Bhakti Lata (as many of you may know) means Creeper Plant (lata) of Loving Devotion (bhakti) which we all devotees aspire to nurture and grow in our hearts.

 

Hare Krishna!

Such a beautiful name, I should also name myself that way. Does any one know any good names you can name yourself to make you remember something about your devotion to krishna?
