Prabhata Samgiita

[ATMAN]

You came in my heart and filled it with hope,
You filled with hope my house of hopelessness.

That which was covered by darkness,
became mixed with effulgence.
Why then have you bound me
in the periphery of the finite?

That which was covered by petals,
that honey was full of love.
Then what else still remains
in the exchange of consciousness?

[ATMAN]

I have arranged the lights
to welcome You, Lord.
Now come and take your seat in my heart,
with slow steps, in garments ever-new.

Come in my mind with more songs
and more dance,
radiating your tender smile.

Come in my mind with rhythm
and new delight,
exuding your charming vibration.

[ATMAN]

The unknown traveller has come,
after so many ages,
with the sweet resonance of Consciousness.
My life overflows with songs.

In the pangs of losing everything,
in the the emptiness of complete oblivion,
in the rhythm and song of surpreme fulfullment,
in the invocation of the eternally beautiful,
my entire life became filled with songs.

[ATMAN]

Loosing the path in the ocean of darkness,
don't forget the polestar of your life.
Don't forget the formless One who keeps dancing,
encircling the darkenss beyond the ocean of staticity.

Keep ever-fresh flowers on the altar of Your mind.
Fill it with a sweet smile bathed in dewdrops.
See His radiance float in the vast void.

In the ocean of boundless spirituality,
no prayer, no asking, no attainment is required.
Simply keep on watching His majesty
and saturate Your heart with His radiance.

[ATMAN]

Today I remember those long-forgotten days
in the auspicious dawn of my life
when I came to know You in my crying,
oh my Lord of all entities.

Countless days have come and gone,
countless nights have
hid themselves in light
but You exist beyond the realm of
light and shade, oh Lord of effulgence,
oh my Lord of beauteous forms.

Beyond the feelings of known and unknown
the sweetness of spiritual realization
forever flows around Your feet,
oh Lord of sweetness, beyond illusion,
oh my Lord of songs.

[ATMAN]

In the sweet dream of the garden of campaka,
I have seem Him in the mirror of my mind.
In the tranquil air and intoxicating fragrance,
my eyes are satiated with the vision of Him.

There the pollen of buds comes
and goes away unnoticed,
there the dancing peacock of my mind
sways through the blue sky,
opening up its fan-like tail.

On a moonlit night, in a solitary garden,
my love dances around Him.

[ATMAN]

Oh moon! Why do you look at me like that?
I want to forget, but you make me look.

In the world of your imagination
a dream came, the dust of the earth became
coloured by that dream.
Knowing fully well all of theses,
your express yourself.
Is that why you anoint everything
with your sweetest love?

Somewhere a separated lover is weeping alone.
Seeing clouds in moonlit night somewhere,
the peacocks are dancing.
In which world of Vrindanvan the devotees find you Kanu (one of Krs’na’s nicknames)?
Please do sing for me in that rhythm and tune.

[ATMAN]

Oh Lord, come.
Oh Most Revered One,
come into my early-morning meditation
(Guru Saka'sha).

For You tears are flowing
from my eyes day and night.

Surcharged with sweet impulse,
my mind is intoxicated
by that abundantly sweet
and heavenly abode.

Lift and take me with You
on a charming smile,
making me forget everything else.

[ATMAN]

Jingling bells are ringing again in sweetest melody.
My formerly pain-filled life,
started dancing again, filled with rhythm.

Today, the earth became full of beauty,
taste and floral fragrance.
With an intoxicating breeze in the soft sky,
the earth is dancing.

Those who are away - come nearby!
Ride on this tide full of joy.

Why He is far, I am unable to say.
Why He came, that too, I am unable to understand.
The One I wanted most, has arrived onto this dusty earth

[ATMAN]

The internal melody of deep meditation
comes floating and dancing, full of hopes.

His jingling sound of ankle-bells I heard many times,
whom I had not really loved.
That unknown traveler opened the latches of my door
and told “ Come out this time, I am not away”.

“Even unknowingly all love me,
then who would stay away after knowing,
do not sleep any more
within my internal arena afflicted by pain”.
