comfort come to me

help me recognize
your peaceful heart
let that solace you impart
come to me

bring gold

it will work in all occasions
to the bride and groom
bless them forever
for their auspicious tune

a gift of health

like the gift of surrender to the lord
is a foundational precurer of many blessings of the Lord
gratitude to this existance as an opportunity
if this health is preserved for the purpose intended
let us remember our benefactor
always rely upon our Source

embrace change

life has a way of adjusting like the seasons
the Lord has a way of making them gorgeous
keep my eyes open to see the occurring miracles
gratefully remain close enough to appreciate
the everchanging storehouse of cornucopia

a new quest

how to begin?
my days are starting to alter
how do i begin them
divinely?

slow in the motions

slow in the draw
is not speed just a relative term?
fast moving objects, what do they attain?
what is accomlished each day?
each moment?
what is the conclusion of many significant moments?
what defines a significant moment?
remembrance of our divine connection
to the source of Reality

don't you love her madly

......every time she's walkin ' out the door

how deep can you see??

how fast can you move?
and do you know
 where you are going?

carefully situated

the desire of age
notions are flung to the sea
what is of value come forth and stay
the search is for what is Real

tenderly waiting

beyond eons of time
the Lord of the Universe knows
concious determination to come
to the light is valued from highest reserves

health from above

staying intune with higher frequencies
giving worship to the Lord's associates and servants
heals the soul and heals the subtle channels and heals the body
in which we inhabit

come hither come lightly

so ends the night
spring forth like daybreak
ascend this light
journey within to
My holy court
many await you
in the Lord's work
blessings from elders
blessings above
rain into your heart
the job is begun

send the messenger over

give him this envelope
'cause i have an idea
it's filled with new hope
just open it up....
 perhaps,in a tiny room
 as the cloud forms and begins to  exude
a nebulous mind altering fume
take it and shake it
turn it inside out
the magic within
has begun its route

funny about that

it was so important
now its not
things that are always important
and always happy are few
therefore we should know them

allowed to get a glimpse

let this moment flood into my heart
and see from whence it comes
how does causless mercy enter
the finite world
this is how

eye openers

fung shui mentions windows are one's perspective

delicate balance

equipoise
remembrance of things divine
freshness and origininality
symptoms
of moving to real

Lavish ways of the Lord

Whose hand can sweep across the sky
and touch the soul
Whose beauty can pervade every corner  of the universe
and still remember one so insignifant
Who hears when no one else can hear
and knows the ways of every atma
let me learn His ways

allowing the memory of You

there is no greater gift
nor higher accomplishment

irridescent Baskaropasika

sending Her love
 falling from waterfalls from high above
descending into our mortal plane
cascading beauty please remain

somethings in the air

something always new
the beginning of something
i'll give you a clue
the goddess of fortune shines brightly today
supplies the lord's wishes

without delay

not perfect,.... but happy

everything is handled by the Divine
and although i am a miscreant
i am one of His
and He is unlimited
and unhampered
by universes
what to speak of the insignificant particles
but everyone is taken care of and known
by Him

blessings come of their own accord

wonder is the state of ecstasy
profoundity its base
cintamani the building blocks
nothing the world can erase

Swans from Heaven

Sri Krishna's gift to Satyabauma was the coveted Parijata from the royal city of the king of heaven.When this plant was brought to the earth it lured the swans from the higher planetary systems by it's fragrance.

how can my time be used more valuably?

focused attention
reading Srimad Bhagavatam

Lightning is how Sri Vishnu appeared before Druva Maharaja

the power and brilliance and immediate impact
is simplly one of the Lord's magnificient entrances

cannnot stop the Juggernaut

a word coined by the English to mean inexorable force, its origin from the original inexorable force
the Lord of the universe,Jagganatha Swami.He protects his devotees.What better thing is there, than this?

keep moving

like a vinyasa
like the salutation to the sun
let your mind revolve around
the Sri Krsna's pastimes

let them dance in your mind

how do we develop faith?

that secret element from which mountains move
the source of trust
our guardians watch
and know
that enveloper of love divine
guides us through
reveals the way to Truth

butterflies

....see some magic

full exposure

bask me in Your sunlight
Baskarapasika
i submit myself
unto Your divine
holy lotus feet

Om Surya Namah - Surya, the name of the sungod " Who gives guidance"

Concealed withinYour divine knowledge
the Lord Sri Krishna has kept
the wisdom of a celestial path
to higher regions homeward bound

thunderstorm subsiding

in a land of greewn opulence
the chanting of the holy name
has made these places blest

i just need a good story.....back to Druva Maharaja

every gesture of nature is grand

what spectacular display
is portrayed daily
awaken to the Lord's art

savor one second

let all else go
hold this in your mind
this you must know

dynamic forces

reveal themselves at dawn
come closer now and hear their soft respond
calling beneath the surface, ...they
welcome the heart to have its say
open like lotus, like roses in the light
the fragrance of love divine offers
beauty for its might
allow the shadows to sink away
allow this radiance
within your heart to stay

give your offering

born upon the celestial morn
as
departure from nescience is torn

totally comitted

not criminally insane
awarded opportunities
to rip off the seething blame
candidly admitting
my hour of defeat
was awarded help
and delivered relief

Its that day in the 365 day cycle

everything is to petition Her exalted grace
the Divine Lord Krishna feels the same way
to their Divine Entourage-
may They engage us

cleanse the mind with Your pure rays

May the wonder of Your sunny disposition
that inspires love to all Your creation
rest within my heart
open up the inspiration
how shall i please You
so i can say i'm ready
let the day happen now

i start

it was the 2nd ...Janmastami

sunrise
may my dreams flow into the dreams of the universe... into that river that merges into the wishes of Yogamaya
- Sanctuary-

on this day of days

blessings in droves fall from the sky
offer your obeisances
and you'll see why
the Lord in all his Grace
gives us with in the realm of time
connection to Himself Divine
closer closest he can come
to draw us from our sleeping world
awaken and unfurl
flowers offered to Your Lotus Feet
all victorious ever fleet
rescue my soul from nescience
serve the happiest path to life
end of the clutches of ignorant strife
admittance to the plane of beauty
that never ends
thats where our story begins

suffer not

or blink an eye
let not illusion make you cry
save your sentiments for Truth
and you shall see
finally life has set you free
hope lies in strange corridors
unexpected gains
when you give your heart
all thats gold remains
keep me far from mortal snares
let me slip away
and dance the tune
the angels sing
that keeps all misery away
entrance me in Your Holy Names
this gift you send to me
this elixer for no fee
help remind this forgetful soul
that You have made the bargain plea

a moment's consideration

is all the contract needs
to define where you will find your scene
always enlist help from above
make everything an abode of divine love

sunsets with happiness

since when did darkness ever win
in this journey that we're in
Your protection bigger than the day
sends all my sorrows fast away
enter into my heart and stay
forcing illusion to stay at bay

challenge is what you make of it

spirit is what i need
faith is my support
in the dark unseen
build my strength anew
my target straight and bold
Your pleasure only seek
my opponents fold

irresolute and passing whims
that counter higher secrets within
these ensue
to challenge me
help me remember Your infinite grace
as i embark this grueling race

Let not forgetfulness ensue
and i forget what i'm to do
Let me take Your Holy Names
erase untold centuries of blame

Make my mind obey these words
no interferance ever heard
to come between Your divine plan
with Your connection remove the ban

and so with head bowed low
ibeg to leave my woe
and recite the mantra sweet
that brings me to Your feet

empty all your sorrow

for love can bathe them all away
come to Me in all situations
I shall set you free

My Goddess Wears the Jewel of the Sun

The Sun adores Her
Her magnitude delight
She shines on forever
Original harbinger of Light

return from the monsoon season

only a blink of the eye
but the memory lasts
the sea is ultramarineishly azure with violet shadows
and the dense gray sky hovers on the side - and the water
is so warm but refreshing - the swim is on!

day before yesterday summer solstice

dragonflies and butterflies
and surrounded by reeds
turtle and snake
a living pond of revitalizing waters
all on a summer solstice day

day 1

my obeisances to my Spiritual Master
who brings the connection to the Divine

The Fortune to hear of Your Name, Your Pastimes, Your Glories

Recognition of my extreme good fortune
is the vitality that is coming to my soul
my blessings sing like the stars in the night lit sky

Brahma Muhurta at Rsabdev's home

a dream before dawn

Syam and i awaken and move to the front room with large picture windows
overlooking a pastoralgarden like view with a river comingin the distance
 and coming past the right of the house in the pre dusk murky hour as i open
the breezeway door a group of wild horses gallop by and leap across the river
Look! Syam, look! Now others are coming in also, including Rsabdev's
. daughters and girlfriends.They have mystical powers and fool around with them.
Syam suggests everyone do giatri now.i sit on a couch and Rsabdev joins me.
As i begin the daughter begins to move the skin around my cheeks with  subtle
powers watched by Caroline,(who earlier offered me  her respectful obeisances)
Attempting to continue my giatri however annoyed thinking ,"i'll deal with these
 ladies when i'm through.When i was completed i reprimanded the daughter
saying you can't mess around when i'm  doing  gayatri.She replied sassily,"this
is my house." i replied , clutching her throat,"This is my body."She got it.Now it is
 day break and out the window there is men opperating equipment to get a large boat
to head down the river from the house. i look to see how wide the river is by day
 to see how far those horses jumped,
Sudar was in another room, and he threw me something(edible?) i don't remember
 if i cared for it or not.i talked with Lekha about kid's behavior and how i deal with it.
Then going to  a large open window with a wooden plank displaying wears are many tulsi strands.
The vedor looks at me and says,"how come you are so dark? I say from doing Gayatri
mantra in the sun.it becomes clear to me if i want to do Gayatri mantra undisterbed
by these mischievious little mtstical girls i need some black Tulasi strands to keep them
out of my domain..

whats up?

look within
follow your heart
a path exists
now lets depart

follow the hidden pathway

with revelation's code
enter to the fabric
ever so finely wove
moved by your intentions
love divine has fortold
victory  comes from understanding
 the nature of the planes phenomenal
or eternally divine
where to put attention
attract only the sublime

every day adjustment

every day is new
and something always
needs a little tending to
diet always affects us
 and our ambitions too
purify the thoughts
to help you plow through
elevate youself by adherance to the Lord
Who dwells in blissful constant accord
let a little sunlight from that plane
come closer now and with you remain

hows this day gonna go?

With an eye to the Divine
all else in the wake
everything for that One
make no mistake
the mercy of the Lord
is infinitely kind
and adherence to this message
connects us to that Sublime

celebrating " The Now!"

                                                                            NOW!

mastery of none

erase my fallen path
i long to live
beyond the plane of wrath
forcibly forsake
the bitterness of loss
that is born of from being cross
gentle be the morning
your grace is all around
mercy direct me
to worlds beyond

opulence of love

the clear dawn of sunrise
enter within my heart
remind me Lord
of everything
You wish to impart
constant companion
in a journey infinite
Your grace surrounds us
with invincible might
continue to teach us devotion
to Your Holy Name
the secret of the Cosmos
upon our hearts You've lain
Help me begin another day anew
remembering what is important
and infinitely true
there is no wealth as beautiful
as the heart of You

bitter pill of loss be gone

fill up your cup again
the tears of many lifetimes
attempt to haunt you now and then
life moves on it does dear
and in its wake it brings
dreams and wishes naturally
so many you will
sing

find the sun light from your cave

of your imagination

Why is it?

why is it......
when the medical practices
of this current society disturb me
i just think how things were done
in ancient Egypt
and my my mind
eases up a bit

The Lord's Eye- 13th month- Purusottama

Sunlight of my
waking eye
I send my prayers to You
Your Luster illuminates
Everything i do
May i always remember
to think of You this day
Who chases darkness
In a blink away

spring weeps like a newly grown tree

comfort my soul
green earth of my heart
pour down Your nectar sweet
the angels breath lightly upon thy face and dream
truth with beauty repleat
store in my mind the map you give
to come to you some day
decode the messages you send
that daily come my way

A New Day for the Phoenix

phosphorescent seas of tears
and lakes of unfulfilled desires
all are devoured in Your transcendental fire
crackle in the blazing roar of a funeral pyre
burn away this ancient phoenix bird
Life begins in Your Holy Word
allow me this one time to beg
Your Hari Nam descend
upon my head

falsity falling away

we do not belong togather
this friendship we've struck up
too much effort  and weight to carry
its time to find my soul

constantly

such is the inner guidance
such words do not run cheap
the Lord has given
a way for us to keep
contact and purification
into our hearts He comes
but we must remember always
His Names upon our tongue

Nov.7 1983 B.R.Sridhar

Here is a taste of Srila Sridhar Dev's fascinating outlook of the relationship of the
Eternal Divine Couple :

"By the help of Your potency we can see You. By the lightning we can see the black cloud."

i await this moment for all eternity

comes the grace of sweet divine authority
no longer do i sing of earths constraint
now awaits the ambroisal golden plate
Lord excuse me if i have been late

serve me now

waste not your breath
in mortal discussions
move in your freedom to ascend
take my cloak i offer it to you
hold on, the journey now begins
we travel lightly
as if in light
it moves the soul
a rapturous delight
bow your head now
as i speak to you
precious and always new
now awaits the crew

tell me everything

doesn't apply to me
its a need to know basis indeed
if only i can remember You now
everything is contained in that seed

trust

trust the Lord has a plan
ask to be in the loop

delicate notions

aspire to be more
frequently asked questions
upon an exalted door
the Lord of the heart
can enter within
speak and direct
reveal what we seek
descend, the richest
harvest to keep

tell the pretty ladies

upon this wet cold eve
that there exists a finer world
that is just beneath thier sleeve
the Lord of the universe
is kindness beyond all count
and helps the helpless
 find a higher way out

carefully

fully
and most divine
this is the way
 your shoes will shine
direct them always
to the Truth
with sparks you'll fly
thus spake the Sooth

Rewards

Numbers cannot explain
how You come and keep us sane
inner direction daily You bring
blessings on every level sing
teach us what will please You now
this is my prayer to show us how

Help me through the corridors in this age of despair

where is the natural world of Your design?
how can i align myself with You?
the poison of a toxic world
runs through
i need a barrier, a shield
to make it though here
to You
any advise You may
wish to share
let it fall on recipient ears

exquisite priveledge

to hear Your Names
to bow to You
to approach........

deliberate and unravel

Deliberate carefully before the dawn
the time when words turn into gold

repeat the mahamantra , beg..
mystically you will find yourself

released from future pain
as upward
ye shall fall

faith when the cloud cover is high

beyond this dense covering
that looms above my head
the sky is blue
and golden light
spreads across the continent
be with me now
Your heat and warmth
and divine vision clear

penetrate
my finite crypt
transform my frozen heart
Your Eternal Spring is here

dazzling and brilliant

the color of Your skin
fragrant like flowers
and devoid of sin

trust

my advice if you will
allow the flow of what is real
enter your heart
and there it stays
all the clouds
will blow away

so many lessons

and such little comprehension
You need to fill in the blanks
to remove my eternal detention

if only they knew

the wealth that lies within
why waste time plundering
within the world of sin?

praise the color of a new born day

let it not slip away
for it speaks of better things
that want to come your way

subdue the madness

leash in the pride
do good to others
merit will survive
penitent to loveliness
the Lord's associates
speak highly of the heart
that opens again and again

saturate my brain

let the only thing remain
is Your Grace
for then i see rightly

let the mind sleep, my friend

the burden of the day is gone
visitation to a supernatural plane
does come
whisper those sacred words that call
the life that hides within
come forth

wishful blissful

starlit morn
forget not this day
when prayers and incense
offered to the Lord
drench everything we say

my prospect

awakens me before sunrise
and guides beyond the demise
even though my faith is weak
You still inspire us what to seek
help me follow through
for the birth of hope is You

satisfied by naught

the likes of You
speech has a way
of coming through
caught upon the
icy air it hangs
till acknowledged
that it is true
and moves away
like vapors
that were trapped
but glide now to the
universe you
just unwrapped

inner sun

original light
that pours from the inner sanctum
of the soul
your secrets hold the universe
pour oblations on the heart's fire
direct the unseeing breath to gasp
in awe's reflection of Truth
Truth which never perishes
like flowers which never
lose their fragrance
or their hue
help me pray

Think Big

Ananta Sesha
Balarama
Lord of the Universe
Vasudeva
The inside of Lord baby Krsna's divine mouth
Now this embarks us on the concept of "big"

guide my every movement

bring me to Your light
as fast as Your wings take me
and make my mind grow bright
my head bows low to You
who makes everything right
in mysterious ways
as You extinguish night

How does She worship You?

You who purify the galaxies
The Lord speaks Truth upon
Your glistening ears
and His Eternal Paramour
doth praise You
She worships that
Radiant You

You are clearing my way

Let me help You help me
help You
as the sun light comes forth so soon
let me remember this light comes from Whom
Personality divine
that speaks Truth
coming to break through
the clouds of my weak conclusions
liberating me from a few more delusions
is not Your effulgence bright
impossible to hide from light
You come.
let me prepare my soul

supplication

Evidence within your golden light
stay with me as i pray
my fortune allow Your message through
in inspiration stay
