Cmp 33. Hiding His Real Identity Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU

Advaita Acharya was offering
Water to Tulsi and chanting
Loudly, "Hari, " "Hari, "
In the presence of Nimai.

On seeing this, Nimai fell down
Unconscious from his spiritual vision,
This, Advaita Acharya noticed
And Nimai's real identity he found.

He said, "My dear Krishna!
Oh Lord! You're Govinda!
You're the Lord of Lords!
You're Supreme among Gods! "

Nimai said, "I'm younger to you.
To worship me, it doesn't befit you,
As a senior devotee, you're here.
Please don't do this, yes, never."

Advaita replied, "What I see myself
It's Krishna in your good-self, "
Nimai replied, "You're so kind,
I'm your servant, love bound."

In the spiritual platform
Both of them stood,
And praised each other
For truly what they were.

On the shore of Ganga River,
Cows were grazing there.
This pleasant sight caused him
To shout, "I'm Him, " I'm Him."

In Shrivasa's house he shouted,
"Whom you worship, He is here.
Whom are you now worshiping?
And how are you meditating? "

Shrivasa saw him as the Lord
With His four raised hands,
Holding disc, conch shell,
Club and lotus flower, well.

He couldn't believe his eyes
When he witnessed this,
And sat dumbfounded
At the sight of the Lord.

Nimai told, "If the King wants
To capture simply all of us
For our Sankirtan movement,
I'll go and make him regret."

"What his priests can't do
With Krishna's power, I can do.
To capture all his elephants
As well as his horses."

"This four year old girl child,
She will, when I command,
Really chant Krishna's name."
Yes, she did chant His name.
