Aum Sri Krishnaya Govindaya Gopijana Vallabhaya Namah…

Fulfilling His promise during the Dwapara, Krishna returns in the nick of time to lift man from dire peril. He Who has come back as Sri Sathya Sai walked amongst us… loving all of us, leaving no stone unturned in ‘serving’ and thus saving His folk. On the occasion of Sri Krishna Janmashtami, let’s join once again, fervently praying to the Supreme Incarnate – to come and lift us all up – to eternal freedom. A poem from Sri Jullie Chaudhuri.
Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya
Glanir Bhavati Bharata
Abhyutthanam Adharmasya
Tadatmanam Srjamy Aham
Whenever there is a decline in dharma…
…and a spiraling escalation in unrighteousness,
You, Oh Krishna…
…mercifully hear…
…the anguished pleas of humanity in distress…
…even as Mother Earth does piteously lament,
You graciously consent…
And…blaze forth in a wondrous Advent…
Earth expresses gratitude for this Celestial Favour,
Humanity is blessed with a Divine Flavour…
You – the Palanhar…
You – the Supreme Saviour…
Aum Sri Krishnaya Govindaya Gopijana Vallabhaya Namah…
Paritranaya Sadhunam
Vinasaya Ca Duskrtam
Dharma Samsthapanarthaya
Sambhavami Yuge Yuge
To come to the rescue…
…as well as…
…enhance and elevate…
…the status of those deprived, downtrodden…
…and oppressed…
…to annihilate…
…the wicked…
…to reestablish equity, justice…
…and uphold the dignity of Truth…
Your words pledge an Advent…
…A sacrosanct Descent…
Varied Names…Wondrous Forms…
Manifestations anew…
Oh! Beloved Krishna…
You…You…You…
…eons through…
…all else fades away…into an insignificant blur…
Aum Sri Krishnaya Govindaya Gopijana Vallabhaya Namah…
A few droplets of adoration,
…reverentially caressed Your petal soft Feet,
As Yamunaji paused and did You greet,
On that magnificently glorious midnight,
She had received a Cosmic Treat…
…nothing could with her bliss compete…
Waves splashed in hushed murmurs…
…As she drew back her waters…
…offering obeisance from all other rivers…
…creating a pathway for Vasudeva…
…as he carried You to Gokul…
…in great awe she marvelled at the destiny that was delightfully hers…
Hallowed tales…
…that would eventually drench myriad exalted scriptures…
So much joy Your Presence does auger…
Aum Sri Krishnaya Govindaya Gopijana Vallabhaya Namah…
My being too remains…
…forever suspended…
…embracing Your Essence within…
…a state of pause…a timeless freeze…
Your cherished Name…
…my soul ceaselessly repeats…
While,
Your Image settles perennially clasped…
…between two heartbeats…
…tears of longing gush forth to lovingly envelope…
…Your Lotus Feet…
Kindly pay heed,
…as creation does passionately plead…
…and soulfully entreat…
As did the gopis, the cowherd boys…
…the cows and calves, monkeys and birds,
…the forests and Tulsi shrubs,
Hear the appealing words of Govardhan…
…and all of Brindavan…
…in ardent and spontaneous unison…
About time,
Beloved Lord, bestow melody sublime,
The rhythm of Your flute…
…sweet glimpses of You…
…the sound of Your Voice…
…in the arid material sphere…
Grant us resplendent moments to rejoice…
Come hear our call,
Come free us all,
This precious boon…
…on this auspicious day You must confer…
Aum Sri Krishnaya Govindaya Gopijana Vallabhaya Namah…
