A Poem, de Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami Sdgonline
Hearing Krishna’s pastimes
1.
The gopis say that Krishna does
not deserve the name acyuta
or infallible one because He
has failed to show Himself
to them. And now again they say
“You are certainly infallible
in Your obstinacy.” In so many words they talk
back and forth accusing
each other yet confessing their love.
I’m not qualified to
write of the intimate
dealings so it’s better I
am quiet. But something should be said. In Caitanya
Caritamrita, Lord Caitanya says
the food offered to Krishna
becomes the nectar mixed with His mouth and to
taste it as prasada is
to taste His amrita. It’s hard to avoid the
intimate nectar of His
pastimes.
But actually we have no realization of the
original adhara-amrtam
of Krishna’s lips. We would be sahajiyas
if we claimed that.
Only the gopis know
that taste, and they
hanker for it more.
We should hear Krishna’s pastimes and
taste the nectar in
that way. Hearing pacifies
the heart of lusty desires
and elevates the soul
to pure devotional service.
2.
Ah, but sometimes I
don’t know what to
write. Too much about
the gopis isn’t right.
I hear a blues tune
and try to take a Krishna
conscious lesson from its marrow.
Krishna’s in the forest, there’s no denying it
and I am drawn in that way.
He plays a flute and the cowherd maidens
stop what they’re doing
and run out of the house past
their relatives. Some have less than perfect feelings,
and they can’t get past their
husbands, brothers or fathers.
They leave their bodies in
the fire of separation.
But when the ones who reach
Him came upon Sri Krishna, He
treats them formally and
coldly tells them, “Why
have you come here in this
dangerous night? I’m glad to
welcome you, but you really
should go home as chaste
girls.” Years later in a
letter He sent by Uddhava, He admitted
that night He meant just the opposite
of what He was saying.
But He eventually gave into
their tears and toe scratching and angry
words and gave
them the rasa dance.
I can’t help but to speak
upon that subject. It’s
like a magnet. It is
not wrong to sing. Just be
careful you don’t treat
it profanely with
lust or triviality or with
symbolism or any indulgence.
You can say what happens
on the autumn night if
you say it nicely with
the parampara of Sukadeva
and Prabhupada’s Krishna
book. It is not forbidden. Just be sure to give time
to all the other lilas
and avataras as they occur in
his books. Whatever Sukadeva told Pariksit
Maharaja is worth hearing, and I will tell it
to you in due
time.
