Cmp 30. More About Krishna Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU

Early morning, the devotees
Went to pick up flowers.
They were talking about
How Nimai behaved of late?

"Gaya trip made him soft
Now he is found great,
Detached and humble,
Above all, very simple."

"He's free from arrogance.
He fell down unconscious,
On hearing the name of Krishna,
And he was crying for Krishna."

Like this Shriman Pundit said.
Out of joy, tears they all shed.
By then Nimai came there,
Asking, "Is Krishna here? "

On the floor, he fell down.
Breathless he was then.
He got up once again,
Asking "Where has He gone? "

He uttered, "Krishna, Krishna, "
The only words on Krishna,
From his mouth that came,
Thus chanting Krishna's name.

Devotees stood speechless
When he became unconscious,
What a sea of change in him?
Surprised they were this time.

They chanted, danced, cried,
Tears of love they found,
At last a new life they saw
Watching Nimai with awe.

Mother couldn't understand.
For her son she prayed,
"Oh Krishna, you've taken
My husband and first son."

"With me Nimai only remains,
I'm here alone and helpless,
Just grant me this boon,
At home, let him remain."

At times his wife sat
Close to his lotus feet
But aloud when he cried
She became afraid.

His students were waiting,
And he went for teaching,
More about Lord Krishna
Than the subjects on shastra.
