Prabhata Samgiita

[ATMAN]

The flow of melody move on, keeping pace with the flow of life. Storms and dust storms, love, affection and sweetness are all bound in your melody, are intoxicated in your song.

The new light of the new year has blended its melody with yours. Nothing is now unmelodious. In this world of divine play.

I know, oh Lord, You are close to me, taking charge of my pleasures and pains. When thinking of you, I float in your current, in your smile, in the dawn of the new year

[ATMAN]

The golden dawn of my life,
is it returning again?
Piercing the darkness of countless pains,
countless agonies, countless humiliations.

How many twilights, how many dawns,
how many autumn and spring nights,
how many hopes and aspirations
have all passed by,
floating away on my tears?

On the eastern horizon the crimson dawn smiles, the fragrance of flowers floats on the air.
With the new delight of the new year, the memories of pain all vanish away.

[ATMAN]

New Year came today to give bliss to all,
to intoxicate the mind with fruits and flowers, leaves, juices, and fragrance.

Those who have gone far,
from far to farther,
they are still alive.
With the sweet resonance of melody,
let their blessing today inspire others to move on the path in the current of melody.

The rotation of the six seasons,
the rise and fall of the polar snow,
in this atmosphere I dedicate my life
to the welfare of all.

[ATMAN]

Today, I remember the event
of the full-moon night
in the month of shra’van’ (rainy season month).

In mind it appears what sort of game is going on
amidst living and non-living bodies.
The sky was pleasantly shadowy,
being overcast with clouds.

The water toads were full of joy.
The wind was blowing with impulse,
carrying the sweet fragrance of the juhi flower.

The impact of consciousness was on the inert being,
by the entry of the divine mantra in the mind.
A new light had fallen, piercing through the fog.

[ATMAN]

Suddenly You came without telling anyone;
and You left without notice.
I had so many more song to sing to You
with so many more rhythms and melodies -
but without telling anyone You departed.

I could never have imagined
that You would come to me like this,
and also that You would leave so suddenly,
leaving me amidst tears.

In however much dust there is on this earth,
thousands and thousands of flowers
bloom out of that dust.
Into the innermost core of those flowers
You have poured infinite sweet nectar,
filling all beings with on this earth
with devotion.

[ATMAN]

Why did you come, if you would go away?
This sort of coming we don't call coming.
Did you not feel sorry by fascinating
and charming my mind for a short period only?
So many ages passed by waiting,
the limits of patience have broken down.
When once you have come to me,
please always stay.
Don't tear the flowers of my hope.

People say you are the ocean of grace,
but does your behaviour justify it?
Do you forget your name
when coming close to me?
Your honour and my pride
don't permit such duality
to come in between us two

[ATMAN]

If you had to go leaving me,
why did You come to this hut?
Why did You allow the flower bud of hope
to whither away untimely?

Alas, having heard of Your expected arrival,
shefali flower would have remained awake,
the cuckoo would have sang in the spring,
and the moon would have spread its light.

By ignoring these,
You broke the strings of my lyre.
Alas, You went away forcibly,
the autumn and winter wept.
The dew-wet niip tree fainted,
the grass tarnished.

You went away,
stamping by feet all the sweetness of my mind.

[ATMAN]

When you came the moon was full.
The moon was playing hide and seek
with the shifting clouds

The galaxies in the distant skies
appeared as your art-work.
The newly arrived swan
lost its way

You came and went so many times,
but still my heart was empty.
Upon hearing your footsteps
my heart was filled with joy.
The swan then found
again its way.

[ATMAN]

On Your auspicious birthday,
the light of the dawn comes in a new form,
smiling every moment in a new way.

The sky and air are overflowing with nectar,
and in the flood of joy,
my overflowing heart floats to an unknown place. Today, in the enchanting rhythm of blissful attainment, sweet memories surge in my mind.

Today in the blue sky, in the blue sky,
in the gentle breeze, the birds continue to sing.
In the blossoms of trees, in the smiling flowers,
the flood of nectar continues to flow.

In all, through all, I have attained you in the core of my life, on Your auspicious birthday.

[ATMAN]

On this birthday, at this auspicious moment, my life is filled with immeasurable joy. Every atom, every molecule vibrates with new color and fragrance.

Transported with bliss, lost in themselves, the minds of all are absorbed in you. Their overflowing hearts dance in that enchanting rhythm; for you and you alone. My life is filled with immeasurable joy.

You have come out of love, and in love you remain near. You are in the rays of effulgent light. You are in the bliss of all. My life is filled with immeasurable joy.
