A disease which needs to be conquered

Just having a material body is itself a disease because the body incarcerates the soul and limits the soul from its most blissful, fulfilling activities. -H.H. Bhakti Tirtha Swami

Thoughts of a child

"Mama do you see those cars up there?"

"Yes" I replied.

"Those people in those cars don't know who Krishna is and that makes Him very sad.  But, we know who Krishna is and that makes Him very happy." -Vrindavani (my 4 yr. old daughter)

This one is for you, Kisori-Radha

mama mana mandire raha nisi din

krsna murari sri krishna murari

bhakti priti mala candan

tumi nio he nio krsna nandan

jivana marana tava puja nivedan

sundara he mana hari

eso nanda kumar ar nanda kumar

habe prema-pradipe arati tomar

nayana jamuna jhare anibar

tomara virahe giridhari

bandana gane tava bajuk jivana

krsna murari sri krsna murari

please abide in the temple of my heart both day and night O Krishna Murari, Sri Krishna Murari

devotion, love, flower garlands and sandlewood-please accept them Delighter of the heart

in life or in death I worship you with these offerings, Beautiful One O Enchanter of the heart

  

come Son of Nanda, and then, O Son of Nanda I will offer You arati ceremony with the lamplight of my love.

the waters of the Yamuna river cascade incessantly from my eyes in Your seperation,  O Holder of Govardhana Hill

may I pass my life absorbed only in songs of Your praise, O Krishna Murari, Sri Krishna Murari

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Sounds good to me

Anyone who meditates on Lord Krishna's birth, His protecting the cows, His singing charming songs with the gopas, and His other pastimes, will find himself overcome with bliss and love. -Srila Jiva Goswami
