Cmp 02. The Supreme Lord Narayana Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU

"This child, the supreme
Narayana, has now come,
The essence of religion
He'll be revealing soon."

"He'll deliver this world.
His glories will spread
Every nook and corner,
And he'll be so popular."

When a great sage so said
His parents became proud,
Saying they were blessed
With this child by the Lord."

Before Vishvarupa was born,
Eight daughters, one by one,
Soon after their birth died,
While their parents cried.

A famine with no rain
Shook the entire town,
But there came rain
When he was born.

So "Vishvambhara" they named,
Meaning "Sustainer of the world, "
Beside "Nimai, " his second name,
That rose up to sky-height his fame

Materially renounced he was,
From his very birth like this,
For the very spiritual cause,
As he came with a purpose.

Like Lord Krishna, he played.
Milk, butter, oil, he spread,
On the floor it was a mess,
Scattered with broken pots.

"As a four months child
Like this he played,
But no one understood,
This mess, how he did? "

"Angry with their Mantras
A Ghost did this mess.
He's Lord Krishna's incarnation,
So, without harming him it ran."

Like this the people outside,
This rumor they spread.
No wonder, if the child did
Many miracles of this kind.
