Totally astonishing



(3541) Aloker dyuti tava pradiipti

Your splendor is the luster of light rays;
On a solar carriage You continue sailing.
You are God, and I'm Your atom;
Myself You infuse with intense vitality.

Everything that had been and what had not been there,
What goes on remaining and what does not persevere,
In everyone's converse is the Supreme's cognition;
You are the Deity, to dance You make everybody.

With both fire and air is Your sanctifying grace;
At root of kush and kash is Your resting place.
Proximity's atom and the remote nebula,
By Your contemplation, everyone You drive crazy.

Baba Nam Kevalam



(3540) Tomare ceyechi kusumasuvase

With a sweet floral scent Yourself have I desired;
From a breast broken by a sigh.
You're the Kaostubha gem, a diamond quarry
In dismay of desert pangs.

Beginningless and endless, within liila's confines,
Myself perplexed, You make dance, make laugh and cry.
At finish of the day You then pull me nigh
On mind-sky of awareness, ever and always.

Your equivalent, there is not anybody;
In the universe, I don't find a second entity.
And so I proclaim many a ten-million greetings
In Your proximity, with Your Holy Name.

Such affection!



(3539) Kamalkali bale prabhu mor

A lotus bud says: "My Lord,
In stalk's blooming necklace is the thread of love
You create with a lake.
This has no comparison, its equal is not there.
In the bee's buzzing and in gale,
Absentmindedly, what You did decorate,
Oh it is not a fraud, it's not deceit.

"Upon the morn You've lavished light;
With evening's colors You have dyed.
To many a dance beat, to a wind sweetly tame,
Everything You gave, though came not personally.

"Spread across the world is Your maya's merrymaking;
Life consists of light and shade's assembly.
You exist and I exist, it's the gist I have known;
In this knowledge is a solace everlasting."

You cannot frustrate me



(3538) Tomari patha ceye, cale geche kata tithi

Gazing at the path of You alone,
Elapsed have many days auspicious.
You came not to my abode,
Hey Guest always mysterious.

I've not understood my fault;
On but Your path have I gone.
I survive with just Your thought;
Day and night Yourself I think of.

'Pon the high mountain I climb up;
Coming and going I die searching for.
Yourself I recall in defeat and triumph;
I did not forget Your conception.

Me too



(3537) Kusumakanane manavitane

At a flower-garden under mind's pavilion,
Confounded, a hawk-cuckoo sings:
"Where are You, oh do tell please, You are where?
Touched by my heart, a song with strong emotion
Arouses in the buds a swaying."

Convened have the fresh green leaves and blossoms;
The  silk-cotton tree, in flower it has become.
At the depths of mind, with a sweet-smiling visage,
Everybody craves just one thing.

The grove of bastard teak has smiled with color;
Floated has the scent of fallen buds.
With fire and wind, on earth and water,
A stream of ambrosia keeps flowing.

How You do it



(3536) Ei rupera sagare kii kare

On this same form-ocean in what manner,
Oh the Formless Gem, did You surrender?
I cannot imagine, fail I to understand
How You make this liila every moment.

A ship You go on sailing from far to still farther,
Birthless and endless on fancy's waters.
The time of monthly affliction having disregarded,
How did You remain for so many ages?

What You will, You go on making, Lord;
Never You waver in Your determination.
Yet both small and large get equal consideration;
On all cogitation honey You coated.

Permanently perfect



(3535) Kusum suvase sudhasar

With a floral fragrance is nectar's essence,
A flood tide full of the moon golden.
Upon moonlit night with songs that don't sleep,
A golden necklace You've constructed.

Coming and going for the sake of living beings,
Hey the Ever-Blazing One, You're above any country.
You had been and You are, forever You will be;
Radiant Majesty, You are unlimited.

There is neither rise nor fall of the sun;
It won't be diminished underneath time's clutch.
By thunderbolt and lightning it is not crushed;
That same One are You, ever the Quintessence.
