Hare Krishna Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

Everywhere... in our society
Lord Krishna is presented to us
with Sri Radha
as her sweet boyfriend
but he was not born to love Radha
he had a different role
Vaishnav poets turned him into a lover
they stole his sudarshan chakra
and put a flute in his hands
Krishna is widely known for his teachings
on philosophical and spiritual concepts
not for love
he taught mainly five things....
to perform duty without expecting results,
to follow dharma and responsibilities,
to develop devotion towards God,
to attain self-realization,
and to detach from material desires
and attachments
those are inspiring you to sing
Hare Rama Hare Krishna
and to dance with its rhythm
they are fooling you
making you an inefficient person
it's a conspiracy
if you want to dance with Hare Krishna
you are welcome
you dance, sing, recite
do kirtan
but it's your entertainment
beside kirtan, you must know martial arts too
like lathi khela, sword play, shooting etc.
for applying it to every day life
suppose, you are busy in kirtan
and a few miscreants attack you
what you should do
you will face them or run away
if you all know martial arts
then the attackers will go to hospital
either to the ward or to the morgue
remember one thing
you are a Hindu
you must know your shastra and shaastra both
one is to protect your culture
and another to protect yourself
Hare Krishna will not save you anywhere
in any condition.
