Merging with Krishna

In the quiet moments, I utter your name, Krishna, Krishna, in endless acclaim, But have I asked, in this one-sided devotion, For your presence, your divine emotion?

Is it I, who over-glorify your divine name, Or dear Krishna, do you lay your claim? In truth, the soul is you, and you are it, In this dance of delight, we find our spirit lit.

It's the pure consciousness, the soul's pure delight, In the name of Krishna, in the day and the night, When we see a rose, a beauty so divine, It's the soul within us, in its essence, we entwine.

External Krishna, and the one deep inside, In this sacred union, our spirits do confide, The supreme beauty, in the depths we explore, As innermost Krishna, with outer, does implore.

In this divinity, in this Krishna's grace, The merging of the external, with the inner space, This is pure consciousness, the divine's own art, Where Krishna and the soul, in love, never depart.

So, in every utterance, in Krishna's sweet refrain, The inner Krishna wakes, and we begin to gain, A glimpse of the beauty, within and without, In Krishna's name, souls dance, without a doubt.

Krishna in Mythology

In modern times, where myths and legends blend, I speak of Krishna, a timeless message to send, With mythology's wisdom, we rekindle the old, In a modern world, his captivating tale is retold.

From Greece's Olympus to the Nile so grand, From Norse mythology's icy northern land, Krishna stands, a symbol of love so pure, In tales from world, his essence does endure.

As Vishnu's avatar, in the pious Hindu lore, He's the flute-playing god, whom we adore, But in modern context, his teachings transcend, Cultures and religions, they harmoniously blend.

In Greece, he's the harmony of Apollo's lyre, In Egypt, a symbol of resurrection from the mire, In Norse myth, he is a warrior's courage so bold, In Krishna's love and wisdom, world finds its mold.

His lessons of compassion, love, and grace, In every culture's myth, we find their trace, For in a modern world, his message still stands, A universal truth, across all earthly lands.

So, Krishna, in myth and modernity's race, Your teachings of love are a timeless grace, In changing world your wisdom we unfold, For in every mythology, your story is retold.

Krishna for all seasons

Krishna, a timeless presence, in all season's grace, A smile of divinity, on nature's magnanimous face, In spring, he's budding flower, in colours that delight, A symbol of regeneration, in every petal's flight.

In summer's scorching heat, he's the shade of a tree, Offering cool respite, to every birds and weary bee, His love, like a gentle breeze, in every leaf's caress, In the warmth of the sun, his radiance we confess.

As autumn leaves fall, he's the harvest's golden sheaf, In the bounty of the earth, his presence is the chief, A giver of abundance, in every grain and corn, Krishna, the provider, from the day he was born.

In winter's icy grasp, he's the hearth's warming glow, In the cold and quiet, his love begins to flow, A comfort in the cold, in the fire's gentle dance, Krishna, the eternal, in every season's trance.

Through the cycle of seasons, his essence thrives, In the changing world, his love forever survives, Krishna, in every time, in every vibrant hue, A symbol of eternal love, forever shining through.

Krishna Krishna Children Play

In childhood's realm, where joy takes flight, I glimpsed children's play, pure and bright, Two groups, both chanting Krishna's name, In their world of fancy, they staked their claim.

Ideas emerged, to set their groups apart, With divine names, they could make a start, Yet, to my surprise, a choice they did agree, To play as Krishna Krishna, both wild and free.

Their games played on, in laughter and delight, Till one group's triumph, in the fading light, But their words astounded, with wisdom in their tone, "Krishna knows no victory or loss," they've shown.

It's we, the earthly players, etched in game's decree, In victory and defeat, we dance or fight you see, Krishna's essence soars, beyond this mortal beat, In his name, we find solace, in joy and in defeat.

In the innocence of youth, they revealed a treasure, Krishna's love and wisdom, beyond worldly measure, In triumph or in loss, he remains steadfast and true, Krishna Krishna, their refuge, in everything they do.

In Krishna’s light

In Krishna's wisdom, a message does unfurl, All religions are divine, for the good of the world, Christ is compassion, in his teachings we find, A boundless love to heal the whole humankind.

Krishna, the embodiment of love's sweet grace, Guiding us with kindness, in every path we trace, Muhammad preaches peace, in words and deeds, A message of unity, where love he eternally feeds.

Buddha, in empathy, shows the way to care, For every living being, in his tranquil prayer, Zoroaster brings joy, a light in darkest night, Guiding us towards goodness and pure light.

All prophets and sages, their message so true, Preach love, compassion, in all that they do, But God wonders, as he gazes from above, Why do humans miss the message of pure love?

In child’s heart, a prayer does take flight, For unity and understanding, in love's light, There lies in each faith, message is the same, To love, to care, to harmonise all we may frame.

Oh Krishna, in your light, help us see the way, To embrace the truth, in every faith, every day, For in love, compassion, peace, and joy we find, A common thread for uniting all of humankind.
