Poem for May 20



Japa Poem

He told you to do it,
he asked you,
he charmed you to,
he gave you the red beads,
he promised wonderful things would come
if you would just be patient,
a revolution, Lord Caitanya’s mercy.
Finger them, think of him,
hear—
then it will come.

(_Begging for the Nectar of the Holy Name_)

JAPA POEM

The quote is a simple poem about japa.
He told you to do it.
He charmed you to
take up the adventure.
Wonderful things would
happen if you chant patiently and constantly.
It’s a revolution,
Lord Caitanya’s mercy.
“Finger them, think of him
hear—
then it will come.”
