Krishna Was Born Today Poem by Upendra Majhi

Today is Gokula Astami,
sacred birthday of a messiah,
who survived the ordeal,
and became God.
but as an adolescent,
He was as ordinary as us, in spring
like all of us He swings on Swing,
guards cows,
falls in love,
eats butter,
in as ordinary manner as us.
In the battle of kurukhetra,
He helped Arjun to economise
his Gandiva for more lethal results.
and drives the chariot.
feeling free breeze
