Kl22. Life With Gopis

KRISHNA LEELA The King Nanda was harassed, But Krishna got him released, First from the demigod Indra, Later from the demigod Varuna. By their self-ego, they were caught, And with the Supreme, they fought. But to both, a lesson He taught, And a change in them, He brought, When He was eight years of age, Gopis' felt that was the stage, With Him to sing and dance, And move at a close distance. Most of them were married, But the entire Gopis carried, A passion-urge in their mind, To have Him as their husband. It was a kind of love, but not a lust, They craved for, which wasn't unjust, As a supreme enjoyer, He was first Their husband, in spiritual terms just. Every creation He loves, In every one's heart, He stays, Gopis' loved Him reciprocally, They sang, to show it vocally. They danced day and night, Their husbands took it light, Towards Him everyone ran, Just like His personal fan His smiling and charming face, The Gopis behind-His-back race, Their virtual ties in a close space, This gave a better life in every case. About His glories they talked, With milk pots while they walked, His absence drove them mad, And they kept their faces sad. They talked about His flute, That kept them all in mute And that melted every heart, That plays a magic on His part? He was like a silk thread That passed thro' every bead To make their life one chain He was their center main. We play this rasa dance, Every year there's a chance, For us to show Him our love, And in deep reverence we bow. The whole world is a stage, He comes in every age, His own plays to direct, In a manner very perfect. He says us only to act, He takes care of the fruit Of our labour, in fact, On each one's merit. So, love Krishna as Gopis loved, And treat Him as our beloved, Then will there be any hatred, In the present world frustrated?
