Birthday of Bhagwati
By Bhavya Gogia

Sitting on a high branch on the tree
Which I climbed this morn, I began to think
The Surprise to present to our Mayya,
To please her, what should be our gift!?
I call upon Pitaji whom I find lost in thought
While he is sitting beneath collecting fruits,
He looks up and understands my silence,
While I began to think about his own,
'We're thinking the same thing, my buddy'
He answers before my eyelids blink,
So I jump, he catches me, and we sit there
Together on the bench, both of us think
'Dad I am your bud, we need Ma's parrot'
And both of us turn our gaze at the other,
'Akhila!' we spring! beaming at the thought
And I go calling the lil one of my mother!
Hari smiles as we both come running
Excited joyously hand in hand,
"Oh I know, I know what to do" says Akki
While she picks a stick to draw on sand!
One after the other, she describes and draws
While me and Raghav sit as students
Obediently we listen to my sister, her plan,
And squirrels gather around for information
'No time to waste' I take her hands in mine
Hari nods, as we head to the village market
"I'll go collect decorations" he goes on own
While she counts the money in her pocket
Making purchases from our pocket moneys
We buy the supplies and head to our cottage
While Akhila enters from the door cleverly
I enter the kitchen from a window unnoticed
I hid the stuff, as they expected from me,
And the evening of beauty passes by,
As the clock strikes 5 at dawn, we're awoke
By ShriRam's voice and his eager eyes
"Oh! Lets get to work" and our trio heads
To our work base, the kitchen to say
With clean hands, we set the groceries atop
And commence our jobs assigned that day
While me and Akhila work with food & drinks
Hari strings the flowers, perhaps decorating
The room is full of lotus scents and sweets
And he puts a charm preventing early waking
"Its 7!" We squeal, Ma wakes and Dad rushes
To her room beside her being her first wish
Then he closes her eyes with his blue palms
We each take her hands, to lead to her gifts
He slowly opens her eyes, while people rise
From under the tables adorned with love
Each of us spark in unison 'Surpriseee!'
While ShriRaghav gives her a loving hug!
On the lofty table sits a magnificent cake
Along with sweets, rasgullas, barfi & halwa
Relatives bring jewels, presents of all kind
For our Janak Dulari Kishori Sita Mayya!
She whose magnanimity knows no bounds
Is garlanded by the flowers strung by ShriPati
She beams with joy blessing all with love
While all hail the beautiful & divine Bhagwati

So this is a surprise planned by me and my sister Akhilavandana along with our father ShriRaam for the birthday of our Mayya Sita ��

Do you know how Raghav praised Janaki?
Akhila narrates it to this way!

He says,
"Your name Sītā means the one who has risen from furrow (in Sanskrit).
In English, I will tell you what each letter signifies. ❤️

S- Selfless. Your care and selflessness knows no bounds. You accompanied me to the forest without thinking about the dangers lurking there. You always think about my welfare.
I- Inspiring. Your courage, determination, strength, love, everything about you inspires me and our devotees.
T- Trusting. You always know that I would be there for you. You did what nobody else can do. Whatever difficult situation you were in, you faced everything and had full faith in me. You believe me and this belief makes me what I am.
A- Amazing.

And so we celebrate our Mayya, Bhagwati Sita's birthday to please her and get her blessings ��

Birthday Boy ShriRam
By Bhavya Gogia

The day's arriving, the auspicious one!
But Oh The Ruling Lord looks fumed
What did you do or perhaps I
Even Sita Mayya seems confused
Well, I know, I did some mess
But we need to make him smile again
While Shri Hanuman sings his eulogies
We sit together to make a plan
"Look" I say, "like a child,
His baby face sprouts a pout"
"And we don't even know why"
Says Ashu Di, "or what is it about!?"
One thing leads to another
And we come upon an idea
But this would not be easy to hide
From either Raghav or his Siya
So we plan to include
Our Ma in our little plot
While I execute this, Ashu Di
Goes about informing the whole abode
So I enter the chambers of our parents
And climb to Mayya's lap
While Raghav sits with his phone
As if busy on Vaishnav-Chat
So I quietly exit the room
After sliding the secret letter to Ma
And she smiles acknowledging
And appreciating our idea
So the day comes, the Navami of Chaitra
But everyone quietly does daily chores
Raghav raises an eyebrow, in surprise
As he keeps staring around and all
But no one seems bothered
So he proceeds towards his throne
Moving with his pout on,
He picks up his bright blue phone
But as he sits at the couch
All the lights go off, it's dark
Then a glowing figure appears in the middle
Its Ma, with her lovely charm!
Her golden glow emanates the room
As she sings his eulogies with love
While everyone emerges from the shadows
Each in a different bright colour!
We dance and sport and form the scenes
Beloved to his heart and soul,
We celebrate and enact upon his Katha,
While food is served to the lovely God!
Some fondle him, and decorate his hair
While some relatives offer a sweet
Some give presents and elders shower love
While little children press his Feet!
ShriRam lights up, his face is brightened
As Ma Jaanki caresses him along
He seems impressed and every voice chants
"Long live our Sweetest Lord!"
©shrihari_nandini

Okay, so this idea most twenty first century devotees like that ShriHari should've a phone and a Vaishnav Chat (app like insta perhaps invented by me ��), so that every Vaishnav, every devotee, could chat with him easily.. So I added this element for fun.
And, I am not lying ShriRam was really making a face these days... And Sita Ma also looked confused.. So Aarsha Di told me to fondle him, like really he smiles when you give him love filled attention.
So don't ignore ShriRam today, play with him, love him, worship him, celebrate the day and MAKE HIM HAPPY!

Blue Daffodils
By Bhavya Gogia

Softly tracing the steps of love
He traced the terrace of my heart
He of long arms enchanted
My lowly life and its every part!
He gave it purpose, I felt it now
Waving off my endless sins
He painted my life in such tints
Extracted as if from blue daffodils

Carving off the ugly manifestation
Of my thoughts, my misfortunes
He hid every pain under the veil of love
And resounded my life with lovely tunes
Until now, with stars and moon
The empty void, I knew he fills
But he proved the veracity of mercy
He, with hue of blue daffodils

In the bitter nights of November
He brought forth for me a renewing spring
With his glow, illuminating my self,
About his glories, he let me sing
What's the purpose of bragging my pleasure
He who felt, would know the thrills
About the blessings of the one with Feet
Softer than blue daffodils!

I received ShriHari first in November, 2017 ��

Jay ShriHari! Jay ShrimanNarayana!

Blue Daffodils

By ShriHari Nandini

mayank_02 59w

The worst way to represent our dignity in kalyuga is represented in the form of listening appreciation from others. Once in a while is ok but it's quite an addiction.
The day you start habituated of the same,you throw 'yourself' in the bondage.
Bondage of proud & ego where "expectations" adjust by giving more space within the bondage.
Final key to release is the determination of tranforming the emotions as always "Neutral" at each and every point of time.

Lord Hari I know I may have committed lots of mistakes.
But please lord don't ever let me get away from yourself ❤️.

Suralibalishtam ,trilokivaristam gurunam ganishtam swaroopay kanishtam
Sadayudhdheeram maha veer Veeram

Strongest among devas, greatest among three worlds, the most superior of all,
Yet unique in his form ,bravest among heroes , who takes one across the ocean of life.
I worship that shri hari.

Who is beyond all qualities, who has assumed several forms for his devotees
Who is free from birth and death , cause of birth of this world,
Bridge between three worlds,who removes the pride of enemies
Who removes all sorrows
I worship that shri hari

Obeisances to ShriRamanuja
- Bhavya Gogia

One who is the embodiment of truth, eternity and is the King among Acharyas
One who is the beloved of Narayana, and is himself his throne called 'Shesha'
Whose deities are ShriVishnu and The Lotus Goddess Lakshmi themselves
Obeisances again and again to such ShriRamanuja!

One, in whom, the vices of attachment, pleasure etc are absent
One who is worshiped by all hymns and Vedas
One who himself is the elder brother of Goddess ShriGodha
Obeisances again and again to such ShriRamanuja!

One who is eternal, the Greatest, the destroyer of wrong and destructive knowledge
One who knows the summary of all Vedas
There's no one like him, he's eternally knowledgeable, and Infinite (ShriAnanta)
Obeisances again and again to such ShriRamanuja!

One who is crown jewel of the devotees of ShrimanNarayana
One who purified Perumbuthur city by his appearance
My repeated obeisances to His Lotus Feet
Obeisances again and again to such ShriRamanuja!

जब देखो तुम
-भव्या गोगिया

जब देखो तुम गोपाल जो प्यारे
रोक लेना वो है नाथ हमारे
श्याम बदन पर पीतांबर संग
जो कंठ में वैजंती डाले
जब देखो तुम गोपाल जो प्यारे
रोक लेना वो है नाथ हमारे
माधव नहीं यह मन छलिया है
उनसे दूर यह तन छलिया है
दुर्लभ रत्न जब पास तुम्हारे
खो मत देना वो है श्याम हमारे
जब देखो तुम गोपाल जो प्यारे
रोक लेना वो है नाथ हमारे
जाने न देना यह सोच कर मन में
न रखना गुरूर भी तन पे
वो आये न अगर फिर तुम भी
रोने लगोगे अपने जीवन पे
जब देखो तुम गोपाल जो प्यारे
रोक लेना वो है नाथ हमारे
©shrihari_nandini

इसका तात्पर्य यह है की जब भी आपके मन में श्रीकृष्ण का स्मरण हो, उस पल को कभी कम मत आँकना। ऐसे क्षण में, उनकी छवि को कही भी अपने मन से जाने मत देना, उनका दर्शन ही नहीं, स्मरण भी दुर्लभ होता है। काफी जन्मों के पुण्ये के बाद हमे मनुष्य बनने का सौभागय मिलता है, उसमे भी सिर्फ कुछ को ही भक्ति का सौभाग्य प्राप्त होता है, ऐसे में श्रीहरि का स्मरण प्यासे को अमृत मिलने के समान है।
श्रीहरि का दुर्लभ स्मरण जब हो जाए, तो उनकी छवि को कभी मत भूलना क्योंकि एक बार ऐसा सुख फिर मिलेगा या नहीं यह हम नहीं जानते। हमारा मन बहुत चंचल होता है, विभिन्न वस्तु विषयों के लिए सबसे बड़े सुख का परित्याग कर देता है और अहंकार आदि विकारो का शिकार हो जाता है। एक बार श्याम आये, और फिर दूसरी बार छवि न दिखाये, तो यह कष्ट नर्क समान ही लगेगा। इसलिए उन्हे कही जाने न देना! मन मंदिर में सिर्फ उन्ही को सबसे ऊचाँ स्थान देना चाहिए।

Whenever you see the adorable cowherd,
Stop him with you (in your mind)
The one who wears yellow clothes on his black form,
And a garland of Vaijanti Flowers in his neck
Whenever you see the adorable cowherd,
Stop him with you (in your mind)
Madhav isn't fooling you, but your mind is
Apart and away from him, this material body is fooling us
When you have the priceless gem with you,
Don't lose it, it's our own Shyaam, the black complexioned God
Whenever you see the adorable cowherd,
Stop him with you (in your mind)
Don't let him go thinking thus in your mind,
Don't be filled with unnecessary pride (for body, status, wealth etc)
When he won't return to you,
You would be left lamenting your entire life
So, whenever you see the adorable cowherd,
Stop him with you (in your mind)
©shrihari_nandini

The poem explains that whenever you remember ShriKrishna in your mind, never underestimate that moment. At that time, never let his form fade away from your mind, because not only his Darshan (Vision), contemplation upon him, too is a rare thing. After inculcating good fortune for many many births, we get to become a human, and after that too, only few get a chance to practice devotion, in such a state the contemplation upon ShriHari is like providing nectar to a thirsty man.
When you are able to remember ShriHari, never forget his form again, because we never know when we'll be able to get this bliss again. Our mind is very fickle, it goes after unnecessary sense gratification, and therefore forgets the pure real happiness and becomes prey to various faults like ego etc.
Once when you experience Shyaam, and then it does not happen again, the pain would be much like hell. Therefore, never let him go! In the Temple of your Mind, always allot the highest position to him and him alone.

Jay ShriHari! ShrimanNarayana bless all!

Happiest Dussehra!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤��

ShriVallabhAcharya wrote MadhurAshtakam on ShriKrishn. It had eight paragraphs describing the various attributes of Bhagwaan, but it had only one adjective that is 'Madhur' or 'Sweet' each line ending with MadhurAdhiPaterAkhilam Madhuram' meaning everything is sweet about the Lord of Sweetness.

Just like a lover finds everything about his loved one as sweet, his speech, his voice, his gait, his smile, his hands, his feet, his eyes, his eye movements and everything, similarly did Shri VallabhAcharya wrote about our Bhagwan with whom he was in love with.

It is veryyyyyyyyyyy sweet to hear and recite.
In fact it is said to be the favourite hymn of Bhagwan ShriKrishna himself!
No wonder it is a gem in itself!

My best friend and my sister @aarsha_ns di told me to write something similar on ShriRaam. Since I do not know Sanskrit, I gave my naive attempt to write something like this in Hindi for ShriRaam Bhagwan with eight paragraphs using the adjective Madhur in each line for each of his attribute and the last line for each para being 'Akhil Madhur SiyaNaath', that is 'The Lord of Siya is entirely sweet' ��❤��

And on this occasion of Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami, I am sharing it with everyone.
Let's celebrate the sweetness of the King and Queen of Sweetness- ShriSeethaRaam!!!
