Sree Guruvayurappan Poem by Prem Nizar H Kalindhi

Since very long my sincere feeling is that I was
Reborn as your Sudama in our old Gurukul;
Every nook and corner in my heart, your presence is
Engraved with deepest love is a shining proof of that!

Guruvayurappa, you know with your insights that
Undying devotion of a devotee can be
Rendered in many ways and mine is one among them!
Universal love I learned from you is: 'Karmanye-
Vadhikaarasthe Ma Phaleshu Kadachana…, act
As per your assigned duty without any form of
Your material gains involved": I adhere to that
Unique gem of advice to lead the chariot of
Righteous conscience to achieve a harmonious life!
At the vicinity of Guruvayur temple,
Please let me bow down before your ever shining face,
Please allow me to prostrate at your lotus like feet,
And grant me a boon to circumambulate your space
Nanda Gopala Krishna; Krishna Krishna Hare Hare!
