knowing

within...........
you are guided
knowing within
you are protected
you have a purpose
you are blessed
life is worthwhile
the heart lives to give
and connect with the divine

whenever

whenever you wake up
even the tiniest bit
seek the highest purpose
moving through a store
stumbling out the door
do you recall your mortality at all
when this life is through
what indeed did you do
errands to a land
that cannot take a stand
when immortal demands
compromise your list
utilize your fist
when  past present and future insist
declare this
i live for a plane that ever exists
a servant am i to the One who never does die
divine wisdom eternal beauty  moving in a graceful stride
serve the divine Lord where truth does abide 

the path of Radhastami

in the wake of divine presence
there is held in the breeze
  a fragrant memory
 sparked  by Thee
  distant  lost desires
 forgotten and long  buried
but  brought alive again
there is a song....
i would reccomend

like an uncorked bottle
of hypnotic perfume
its entrancing fragrance
quietly loom
 we are awakened
in a perfumed memory
at the cloak of  dusk
moving through murky streets
 with the night time crowd
 in an exotic land

fires are burning low
incense and spices hanging  in the air
the music lightly flow

we are close to Her domain
Radhakunda
 help me here remain
one tiny lightning flash retain

the first day

help me find out how to worship  Your first day
 Your Janamastami
how wonderful that the origin of all existances
 has a day of revelation and appearance
teach me how to worship You
to seek Your pleasure
to come in contact with
Your abundant mercy
to find happiness in Your happiness
to search for that Reality
that Reality the beautiful
Sri Krishna

divine knowledge divine bliss eternal existance

Who teaches us all things
when the time has come
with Whom we would have no direction
share some of Your inspiration
on how to approach and please
the very Soul of all existance

Clarity and Foresight

in the wake of Your HolyName
streams of accord
corridors of clarity
peace You afford
if You could give me
strength to go forth
in remembrance of
this is the torch

sweet memories

initiate me into an eternal world
where no soothsayer ever has fortold
it is not the past
it is part of *Everlast*

destined

what i can see is blank and hidden
each step i take unknown
speak to my heart i pray now
for with You i am not alone
open my hidden eyesight
and allow my inner ears to hear
teach me to speak the language
that is music to Your  divine ears

eye to serve

everything is the divine property of the Lord
how can i best fascilitate the desires of the divine?
how can i serve/

disposition

like weather fleeting
find the deeper course
where favorable breezes
invoke divine force

this is the Lord's day

this ekadasi is a priveledge to remember Sri Krishna
by His grace only can we do this
He gives the ability

today

i come before You
with folded hands and head bowed low
for Your mercy You bestow

sanctify

sanctiify
pacify
follow a hidden road
search for the one
more valuable than gold

now whats up?

perhaps i need a little more flexibility
to be a little more in tune  you see
somethings happening but its not to me
i am blocked by anxiety
a bath in simplicity and clarity
somthing divine to set me free

discover how many twists are in the road

equipoise my being Lord
let not anger fray my way
allow devotion
to always have its way

sanctions and self determination

discover how deep your freewill is

dare i

speak out of line
interrupt the divine
i dare not
ears that can hear
Your voice
will rejoice........
quiet the mind
in humility
focus on Reality

Measuring Fortune

have you had the distinction
 of  tracing the  glance a devotee ?
Fortune  has come ......,
it is unfathomable

a little this........truth

sprinkle some in
sparkle some on
toss it
fold it
permeate it in my diet
let it grow

Eye of Lord Jagganath

Nayana Manjari , Eye of the Lord
protects our dwelling place from harm
keep our minds and hearts fixed on You
on our inward journey

delerium does pass away

in age as we go on
to chant and remember
the Lord the whole day long
the fever intermitant fever
that burns our days and nights
subsides when Truth
cools and restores
 and brings the soul delight
and brings us proper sight

rich burgundy and velvet moss green

in golden sunlight lay
as cross the horizon
begins another day
fly into the rose sky
my winged friends
as aspirations begin
now to ascend

the golden gaurpurnima

the brightest moon in twenty years shines on this holiday
that remembers Krishna in a golden form does play

move through those magestic corridors

and find your place in the sun
let not the sleepy inertia of winters sleep
keep you confined
the time for wings
has begun

sunlight and seeds

dare i venture out the door on the warmest day thus far?
i could rake a few leaves
plant a few bulbs
 move a few bricks around
show the wee folks i'm still around
couirage.. or kick in the butt
lets see

the colors of the changing world

while we are immersed in this thing called time

it continuously reveals many secrets

believe

how much help comes - simply knowing that God exists          

                                                                             think on this

discover a way to proceed further

allow me to move tn Your direction
hear Your wisdom
and act

return to work

perhaps  this idea is accepted as truth
and the Lord will sanction
its execution
it would be a first

where is the inside?

in a rotating door
dizziness in travel
need to find ground floor
where is the way
to worship the Lord
that draws inner peace
 and proper accord

can i say this?

well just try
truth is a thing that is never dry
enriched with the passage way
of many saints
truth is the sweetest thing you'll
ever taste

daring is darling

truth is a breeze
catch it lightly
in a Bhaghavat sneeze
no accidents come from above
only opulent storehouses of love

desiring eternity

untarnished and bright
a personal conception
brings the highest delight

history of transcendance

Purana of lusterous purport
map way of the stars
the guide has recommended
this for the journey we're on

decisions move you forward

leap into new terrain
by holding your attention
on divine things
there is nothing in existance
that the Lord does  not know
and compassion is what He bestows
chant His divine Names
and always stay near
beauty surround us
and dispersing all fear
