Gopikaa Giitikaa Part-4

(Songs of God Krishna On Cowherd Lady)
Following two songs were sung by sages and angels.

 

6) O fool! If you say cowherd lady is prostitute,

God Datta is always fond of prostitutes only!                   (Chorus)

 

Prostitute leaves justice for the sake of earning wealth,

Cowherd lady left justice for the sake of bond with God.

 

Prostitute becomes naked to grab wealth of customers,

She, naked Avadhuuta, prayed Him as the omniscient.

 

(The clothes of cowherd ladies were stolen by God Krishna while bathing in Yamuna River. They came out and saluted the Lord by lifting up and folding their hands saying that He is omniscient, knowing every bit of the creation.)

 

All worldly bonds are dropped out from her, not husband alone.

God can’t be imitated by any soul, the analysis differentiates God.

 

(A lady rejecting her husband and going with another human being is called as prostitute. Based on this, if one calls the cowherd lady also as a prostitute, it is totally wrong. In the case of prostitute, she left only the bond with husband and not other bonds with wealth, issues etc. In the case cowherd lady, she left all the worldly bonds including bond with husband for the sake of God Krishna. A human being can’t imitate Krishna since it can’t lift a hill like Krishna. Ravana can’t stand here, even though he lifted a hill because Ravana didn’t say the Gita like Krishna. Moreover, in this bond also, Ravana forced the ladies whereas Krishna advised Gopikas to go back telling that they will go to hell. Gopikas were prepared to go to hell and threatened to jump in to river if Krishna is not dancing with them. There is hill of difference between Gopika or cowherd lady and a prostitute. There is also a hill of difference between God Krishna and ordinary human being.)

 

By knowing scriptures, one can’t be a spiritual scholar,

Unless one explains background-secret of Bhaagavatam.

 

7) O idiot! Bhaagavatam is not the illegal sex,

It is the essence of entire spiritual knowledge.                  (Chorus)

 

In Nivrutti, the soul has to sacrifice all including justice,

It is the ripening of all penance and no sin can enter that.

 

Bhagavat Gita sung by God Krishna says the same point,

“All the sins end if justice is sacrificed for the sake of God”.

 

(Sarvadharmaan... Sarvapaapebhyo... Gita).

 

You recite every day that all works are surrendered to God,

These cowherd women were the sages of asylum of Atri only.

 

(Everyday, in the end of prayer done in the time of twilight called as Sandhyaavandanam, the devotee says “Kaayena vaachaa manasaendriyairvaa... samarpayaami”. God Datta is the son of sage Atri guiding the sages in the asylum of His father. God Datta was incarnated as God Krishna and the sages were born as cowherd women to be tested practically in the spiritual knowledge preached by Him to them. These sages previously were doing Sandhyaavandanam every day and what they said in it at the end was proved by them while born as cowherd ladies.)

 

8) Datta Datta, Krishna Krishna,

I am Datta and I am Krishna.                 (Chorus)

 

You are chief dancer, assisted by souls, for My entertainment,

My flute-song is the basis for this entire divine dance program.

 

All the souls are females playing, play is Mine,

Know that you are created by Me for the play.

 

Entire creation is object of My entertainment only,

I am the creator, ruler, destroyer and the enjoyer.

 

All souls in world are My moveable property only,

I ask you that only, which you can never sacrifice.

 

My test is to know My value given by you here, for My sake,

Can you cross the justice also? Where am I in your love-steps?

 

She ran to Me throwing away in-laws, husband and issues,

By burning shyness also along with that traditional justice.

 

Can you estimate the stage of sages born as cowherd ladies?

Body, word and mind, three tools, were surrendered to Me.

 

(Three tools are called as ‘Trikaranams’.)

 

These souls, My disciples in Atri-asylum, reached Me as Rama,

Finally tested by Me as Krishna, they knew God as real husband.

 

As soon as My knowledge-flute is heard, they jumped over walls,

To reach Me, their feet-dust is the real path of the divine salvation.

 

In-laws and relatives scolded calling them as the prostitutes,

They simply smiled at those elders and reached Me for dance.

 

They were in the mud-pond till the midnight only, My birth-time,

When My flute was heard, came out to bathe in God-Ganga river.

 

All the worldly bonds obstructed them, but, were thrown by them,

They reached Me not by walk, but by run, that is the real pilgrimage.

 

In Kali age, Meera, Sakku, Godaa, Shankara, Raamaanuja, Madhva,

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa etc., were past cowherd ladies only.

 

My test is only to know how much Bhagavatam is understood,

Can these scholars of mere scriptures know this Datta-Krishna?

 

9) O cowherd lady! O cowherd lady!

What can I give to clear your debt?                          (Chorus)

 

You ran jumping by throwing away husband and issues!

You reached Me after pushing away your elder in-laws!

 

You gave Me milk, curd and butter and similar triad,

Your body, word and mind to this God Krishna Datta.

 

You told that you will give butter-heart, word-curd and milk body,

Even your life to Me only, you have proved this in your practice.

 

O young lady! You became ready to burn justice and shyness,

Along with traditional discipline of scripture for My sake only.

 

When your life-Lord is standing before you, on seeing Me,

Walking in the street, you called Me as your Lord of life!

 

You have shown your superficial love on your family for the rule,

You have surrendered essence of your love to Me breaking rule.

 

Till midnight you were fried with the pain of My separation,

Came to meet Me while your family went into the deep sleep.

 

I will also come to you, when Satyabhaama goes into deep sleep,

You, the Gopabhaama, are far far greater than this Satyabhaama.

 

(Gopabhaama is the cowherd lady.)

 

You are greater than Meera, who left her family and came to Me,

You are coming to Me while you are tied tight with your family!

 

If I give you Brahmaloka, it is not equal even to your foot-nail,

I will give you Goloka above Me, let your feet-dust fall on Me.

 

(Brahmaloka is the 14th world, the abode of God. Goloka is the 15th world specially created by God above his abode for cowherd ladies).

 

Sage Narada brought your feet-dust and placed it on My forehead,

Which acted as salvation-medicine to relieve Me from My headache.

 

 

Datta means ‘given’, I am given to you only, breakage of bonds,

The spontaneous subsequent symptom, is well seen in your case.

 

I am yourself and you are Myself, no dualism between us any more,

I gave Myself to you only to mean Datta, yet, the debt is not cleared!

 

(To be continued...)
