Oh! Krishna…I Am An Eternal Bride Of Eternity…
Friday, March 14th, 2014
When devotion peaks to ‘heights of eternity’, the devotee is able to recognise the only Purusha, The Supreme Creator, as the lone Goal in life, as she or he becomes a bride of the Supreme Divinity, an Eternal Bride Of Eternity. Even as ‘soul’s yearning’ peaks to ‘sole yearning’ another poem blossoms from a golden heart. …a poem from Sri Jullie Chaudhuri.
Oh! Krishna…
…my soul is betrothed to immortality…
…i am a bride…
…a bride of Eternity…
The moments spent upon earth…
…through the corridors of time…
…are but imprints and impressions…
…in the drama of infinity…
Death and what we leave behind…
…depends on life and how we live it…
At Thy Lotus Feet, Oh! Beloved One…
…i do submit…
…my essence…my substance…my spirit…
Step out of my heart, my Lord…
…for a while…
…out of the ether maybe…
…and grant us glimpses…
…sublime glimpses of Thee…
Oh… i am a bride…a bride of Eternity…
Oh! Krishna…
Indeed You are Eternal…Sanatana…Shashwat…
…so too…are You…Anantkaal…Sanatanatva…
Thus, You symbolize Eternity…
…and so…along with every single being…
…on the plane of existence…
…i too remain sanguine as Your bride…
For You – are the Supreme Purusha…
…and the rest of creation…for all times…
…belong and long for Thee…
…live and breathe for Thee…
…even as every being enacts a role…
…embraced by Thy glory…
Only a celestial union will set each soul free…
…till such a time…living entities…
…continue to adorn the screen of Thy Cosmic Script -
…delightedly…appropriately to be referred to as –
Prakriti…Prakriti…Prakriti…
Oh! Krishna, my Sai Krishna…
One day soon i will open my eyes…
…and look straight…into Your eyes,
Then -
All will be still,
As i fill,
Every cell of my being,
With that breathtaking moment,
Beyond time…beyond space,
Blissfully marvelling…even as i face…
At long last…finally…a cascade of peace…
My heart graciously leaps…
…at the mere thought of this upcoming occasion…
…simply imagining the resplendence…
…that will most certainly interlace…
…this blessing so grand -
The ‘life resurrecting’ flow of Your long-awaited sweet grace…
Oh! My sweet loving Krishna,
One day i will wake up to find You near…
…entrancingly playing upon Your flute,
…exquisite Divine melodies…
To exist…
…all else would instantly cease,
Merged in You…
…i would remain and be…
…content and joyous for all of eternity…
Oh! Krishna…i am a bride…a bride of Eternity…
Oh! My precious Krishna,
…i do love You…
One day, even as i earnestly, intently…
…intensely worship You…
…i will see You standing before me,
In all Your pristine glory…
And then -
Amidst leaves rustling merrily…
…in the evening breeze…
…encircled by a drizzle of benedictions…
…a spray of gentle rain showers…
…that charmingly bestirs and empowers…
…my yearning and adulation…
At that instant…
You will accept my garland of adoration…
…exuding a fragrance that matches the scent…
…of fresh forest flowers…
Presently will emerge a distinct twilight…
…that shimmers and glimmers…
…proving to be a charmed alibi…
…as the velvet night sky…
…bedecks itself with stars…
…a Romance Divine that spans abundance…
…never ever secluded…never ever sparse…
You are the Source…You – the Highest Power and Force…
Yet, You can no longer escape from me…
…nor must i any longer mistakenly flee…
…from my cherished chosen destiny…
Oh! My adorable Krishna, i am a bride…
…a bride of Eternity…
Oh! Krishna, my Cosmic Heart…
One day i will wake up to find…
…that my dreams of You,
Are true,
Your Presence pervades this age of Kali through…
You chose to incarnate as Sai…
That One Absolute…
…Whose radiance does all Advents imbue…
You are Sai…
And,
As Beloved Mother Sai…
…countless attributes from You ensue…
…great boons to the fate of humanity…
…do wondrously accrue…
Allah, Zarathustra, Jesus, Mahavira, Buddha,
Saraswati…Durga…Lakshmi…
Brahma…Maheshwara…Vishnu…
Divine Mother and Father of all creation…
And, as the Supreme Guru,
You bestow upon all their rightful due…
…negating negative intentions without much ado…
You are Shiva and Shakti, Radha and Krishna too,
Though hitherto…
…for reasons known best to You…
…You opt to stay hidden from view…
But one day soon…
…i will re-experience that enchantment…
…i once knew,
From dreams…reality will take its cue,
Oh! My Lord…my most exalted treasure Krishna,
…with Your gleaming grace do me so endue…
Oh! Beloved Krishna…mercifully do…
…allow me to experience You…
…Your Sathya…Your Truth…
…even as thoughts of You,
…along with dreams, day dreams of You…
…do me incessantly pursue…
Visions of that magnificent sight -
Shades of blue…blending…mingling…
…merging into a mellow golden – orange hue…
…a wondrous premier, a debut, a world view…
Tathastu…Tathastu…Tathastu…
Oh! Krishna…endearingly…enduringly…everlastingly…
…along with all other beings in creation…
…i remain a bride…a bride of Eternity…
You are Shaswat – Eternal…
You – Sanatanatva – Eternity…
…and i…i remain eternally…
…a bride…
…an eternal bride of Eternity…
