radhe govinda
namo venkateshaya

dear bhaagavatas,
we shall njoy the following poems by surdas. these poems cover the awakening of our darling kanna.

['Friend, I could not wake That darling boy, For when I gazed on his charming face My eyes, filled with greed To keep drinking in its loveliness, Did not let my tongue speak.']



AWAKE O! PRINCE OF BRAJ
************************

Awake, Krishna, awake the lotus-petals open the water-lilies droop the bumblebees have left the creepers cocks crow, and birds chirp on the trees. The cows are in the byre lowing; they run after their calves; the moon fades before the sun. Men and women arise and joyfully sing their songs; Krishna, of hands lotus-like awake, for the day is about to dawn.

NANDA BEHOLDS KRISHNA?S FACE
****************************

Parted nightlong from his beloved child Nanda could no longer restrain himself and lifting from his face the coverlet gazed upon it; no more the night was oppressive: the gods it seemed had churned the sea, and through its foam the moon was seen resplendent in the sky."

Says Suradasa, the cowherd lads and maids learning that their beloved Krishna was awake forgot all else and ran to his bedside.




THE FORMLESS BRAHMA HAS INCARNATED AS KRISHNA
*********************************************

Krishna awoke;

Yashoda was enraptured to see his face blooming as a lotus that captures the rising sun's first rays. Taking off the coverlet she said, 'awake, darling boy, awake, your loveliness makes me swoon your bewitching face is like the full moon seen through the sea's foam when it was churned for nectar.'

He for whom the Shrutis say 'not this, not this? whose name is chanted by Brahma, Shesha and Shiva that Formless Brahma has taken birth in Braj, in human form, so 'tis heard.
