When the Lion Lord comes

"O Lord you took Your adversary and ripped his chest apart.  Victory to You!!!  You are the Deity worshipped by the civilized and You bring fear to the wicked." Sri Krishna Lila Stava by Sanatana Goswami 



 

At dusk,

when You come,

O Lord,

let your scaring laugh

to echo

in the ether 

of evil hearts,

to dismantle the cities of vanity

let each of your step shake

the roads of greed. 

Come Lord, 

as a fiery resplendent Lion

let your roar

out loud, 

to terrify the proud, 

please come,

when is neither day nor night

to the selfish abode of lust,

make this deceitful world to tremble

and palaces of envy to crumble,

tear the plans of the wicked

 apart  

with Your sharp claws,

and also false religiosity

quash it under your paws. 

My Lord,

when You come,

walk down the way of your

uncontrollable love,

with divine anger

break through the threshold

of impiety,

with Your flowing mane in the sky

scatter the dark clouds

of the vicious "I" and "Mine",

roaring loud

smash all that is wicked,

place your glorious ferocious

but punitive limbs

on the throne of victory,

excise the viscera 

of the demoniac ego,

chop fiercely its grip.

Prayer from the Pillar


My Lion Lord,
I am here,
in this dark dream,
lost and overwhelmed
in a cloudy corner of Your realm;
down ~
beyond the Viraja river
on an expanse of water,
in a cluster of bubbles
exhaled from Your breath,
 further down ~
behind the seven coverings
caused by the false ego,
way down ~ 
within a drop of many drops,
dripped from Your pores
so far down ~
on one of the billion spheres
floating in space,
down here ~
entrapped in fears,
in a form of bleak desires
reduced to a dimmed sparkle
caught between the pliers of the mind,
an infinitesimal dot of existence,
where my soul cries
barely audible,
like words shouted in water.
I am here,
a fossil in a pillar
of million of lifetimes
please break it open with your claws
take me up
to sit on your lap
from where
 I can fearlessly look
  down
at the remains
of this stony heart.
