Gopies, Like, Fairies Dance

Swami Parmanand 1884 (Banaripara Upazila, Bangladesh) – 1940 (Cohasset, MA)



1. Let us form a ring

2. Flowers would we offer In prayer: Trust we not The strangers!

3. Jostled with Him in dance

4. Pearls for tears, They shed ! In measured steps and, rhythmic movement

5. Receptive mind's and shaky feet, He may Stabalize !

6. Bewitched by the bright lamp The butterfly O, When'll we be mad after The madman (The Lord!)

7. Bare-footed in woods in blazing heat and Blistered over---Hot roads

8. How hard is to Speak the Truth (This much) revelation Even after self -realisation The desire to probe, What else is said',
Still persists!

And dance like Fairies bright

Lord Krishana to awaken From Slumber! And dance like Fairies bright.

Solaced and soothed is He And dance like Fairies bright!

Piles of emeralds they build!

May we dance like Fairies bright.

Induce compassion in Krishna, It may! And dance like Fairies bright

Dances around and Gives its life in the dance!

And merge like it with Him.

In the ecstasy of the dance Around Him! Weary and Exhausted'ld those Krishna Bhakhta become May we dance like Fairies bright! Who has's been blessed with The Parma Ananda?

And dance like Fairies bright!
