Poem for Jun 14



Japa Poem

How do I get to know You by chanting? You are nondifferent from Your Names; You are present in the sound vibration. So the more I chant with the desire to be with You, the closer I will come into Your association, and You will reveal Yourself to me. It is a little bewildering how just by uttering these brief syllables we can accomplish what even great, austere yogis and meditators cannot attain, but that is the prime benediction for this age as given by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He came to deliver the chanting of Hare Krishna imbued with the sentiment of pure love for You, as carried in Her heart by Your chief consort, Srimati Radharani.

(_Japa Transformations_)

Keep Your Love

Keep your love for Krishna and Radha
and you’ll learn the love that’s
everlasting.

Learn of love in chanting and you’ll
taste the nectar for which
we are always anxious.

Love the Lord and the Lord
will love you, and you’ll be happy
forever.

Love is for Krishna, love is
Krishna, Krishna is love, love
for Krishna is true love. Only
that way.

(_Soul Eyes_)
