Gopikaa Giitikaa Part-7

(Songs of God Krishna On Cowherd Lady)

19) O uneducated full moon! – Gopabhaama!

You are the ancient most sacred Vedic sage.           (Chorus)

 

You completed all branches of the education,

You have taken this uneducated cowherd birth.

 

You have practiced the essence of spiritual knowledge,

You have become the real ultimate example to world.

 

From milk you got curd and from curd the butter finally,

Showing sequence of knowledge, devotion and practice.

 

God alone is the ultimate husband of all created souls,

You reached eternal God in your present lifetime itself.

 

For the sake of the God you left the entire world itself,

Even the justice, justice is only a part of the worldly life.

 

You have passed My final examination with the distinction,

By preparing yourself to go to hell also for the sake of God.

 

I stole your wealth, the milk, curd and butter hidden in pots,

For your children, bonds with wealth and issues are tested.

 

Three strong worldly bonds, life-partner, issues and wealth,

You sacrificed for Me, passed three tests, it is Bhaagavatam.

 

20) O son of God Brahma! O sage Naarada!

I can’t live any more without Gopikaa.          (Chorus)

 

Stop your music played on Veena and go to Brunda,

Handover My love letter to My girlfriend, Gopikaa.

 

(Veena is a musical instrument on which sage Naarada sings devotional songs on God.)

 

You always sing Hari-Hari, sing the same now here also,

My life hereafter is Hari- Hari, which is in her hand only.

 

(Hari–Hari, repetition of God’s name, is the chorus sung by sage Naarada. Hari–Hari also is used to indicate the end of something.)

 

You can imagine My tears on seeing present rains there,

You can also know how I weep, hearing sounding cloud.

 

You show the lightening on sky and say to Gopikaa like this,

“Like this, the hope twinkles in His heart about your coming”.

 

Naarada means also cloud, pass on My message like cloud,

To My darling and give Me also kindness-rain water, My life.

 

(Naara= water, da= giver.  Hence, Naarada also means cloud).

 

O Bachelor! how can you understand the agony of separation?

Parabrahman is waiting here like Chaataka for her love drops.

 

(Chaataka is the bird, which drinks falling rain drops only.)

 

You are famous for creating quarrels, you may pass on this,

To the family of Gopikaa and satisfy your thirst for quarrel!

 

This is My secret letter to My Gopi, if you create quarrel,

I will leave this Dwaarakaa and come to the Vaikuntha city.

 

(Vaikuntha city is the upper world, which is the abode of God. Dwaarakaa city is on earth. This means that God will leave His life.)

 

21) Stop arrangements for My birth-day festival,

Without My Gopi, no festival exists for Me.           (Chorus)

 

Cupid is beating My heart with his flower-arrows,

I can’t live any more on this earth without her.

 

Why the son of Vaali, the Angada, born as hunter delays?

He has to hit My foot with his sharp arrow for My death.

 

O Garudaa bird! Come down quickly, I have to leave Dwaarakaa,

I have to come quickly to Milk Sea to take rest on serpent-bed.

 

My eyes are already lotus flowers, no sleep, further red,

Look like two lotus flowers on which red kumkuma fell.

 

(Kumkuma is red powder used for mark on forehead.)

 

22) Vaani! Lakshmi! Gauri! Come here,

Go and bring Gopika here now itself.                       (Chorus)

 

In order to forget pain of separation, Datta became mad,

Drinks wine always and is wandering always on the earth.

 

(Datta appears as a mad person and drunkard to any devotee to test his capacity of identification of God. Goddess Vani, Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Gauri are the three wives of Datta, being split into God Brahma, God Vishnu and God Shiva.)

 

If Gopi is a drop of love, Datta-Krishna is ocean of love,

Hence, I suffer with separation-pain million times more.

 

If the soul puts one step towards God in its desired path,

I will put hundred steps towards it in the same path of it.

 

(Ye Yathaa maam prapadyante... Gita)

 

Whatever may be the path or bond, selfless love is its weight,

Swan or donkey made of sugar, value is from weight of sugar.

 

(Sugar condensed as small statues of swan, donkey etc., is sold in sweet shop. The cost to be paid depends on the weight of the sugar and not on the form of statue.)

 

23) I am swan, you walk like a swan,

Give Me your three white swans.                     (Chorus)

 

(Swan means ‘Hamsa’ or God or soul as per scripture. Three swans are the three tools of the soul called as will, word and work. White indicates that these three tools are made of Sattvam or knowledge indicated by white colour denoting purity. Gopikaa is Goddess Anaghaa acting like an ordinary uneducated soul and this means walking like a swan or soul. Milk, curd and butter are also white in colour.)

 

Swan means God or soul, white means the quality of pure sattvam,

Butter, curd and milk or will, word and work are the three swans.

 

Krishna aspires for butter and Datta aspires for milk always,

Milk is root-cause of butter, Datta is root-cause of Krishna.

 

When all these three are surrendered to God Datta-Krishna,

The three divine forms are pleased, that is the real salvation.

 

Some give only curd-word, they praise Me with prayers only,

Milk with butter is surrendered to demon Kamsa or this world.

 

Donors of only word-curd to God are these poets and scholars,

They give milk-work with butter-mind to the king Kamsa or world.

 

Devotees doing penance give Me curd-word with butter-mind,

Finally, these demons donate their milk-work to Kamsa-world.

 

Butter is the root-cause of milk since milk is colloidal solution,

Butter dispersed in the water is milk, will is the real root cause.

 

(Fat or butter dispersed in water forms the milk, which is colloidal solution. This means that will or mind or heart is the root-cause of all these three states. The root-cause will-fat only comes out as heart-butter in the final stage.)

 

She served Me only, she sang on Me only, she thought Me alone,

She gave Me all three, milk, curd and butter, this is total sacrifice.

 

In this entire world, who is greater devotee than cowherd lady?

I will serve her throughout My life by pressing her lotus feet only.

 

When nothing or none remains, which can’t be given to God,

That is real devotion, even eyes, even life are given for Me.

 

(The hunter gave eyes for God. Shri Paramahamsa jumped on a sword to sacrifice his life to get the divine vision of God.)

 

Gopika surrendered everything and everybody for My sake,

What can I give to her except My heart containing her only?

 

She surrendered this entire world for the sake of ultimate God,

She didn’t fear for injustice and hell to go back from full sacrifice.

 

She alone is My most dearest darling dwelling in My heart,

She suffered a lot in crossing hurdles created by Me only.

 

God Brahma likes butter, God Vishnu likes the milk,

God Shiva likes the curd, God Datta likes all the three!

 

24) I am never angry, O Gopi!

Your anger alone is sweet!                                 (Chorus)

 

I am single, changeless and eternal unimaginable God,

You are a tiny drop of My vast imaginary world-ocean.

 

I am the roaring sound of infinite ocean of divine love,

You are a wave of sound of the sweet song on My flute.

 

I am the scholar-preacher of all these spiritual scriptures,

You are the divine devotional sweetest song on My flute.

 

I have tagged hair, red eyes and sacred ash as My powder,

You have very sweet devotion alone as your divine jewel.

 

(Gopikas being villagers don’t have costly jewels.)

 

I am fully contented without any worldly vibration forever,

You are the gem of My disciples making Me mad after you!

 

All the world follows My foot-steps and I follow your’s,

You walk seeing front and I walk behind seeing you only!

 

While you walk your hair on forehead vibrates vibrating Me,

Just turn back, embrace Me and dissolve in Me permanently.
