Toronto, Ontario
Krsnanandini
Some of my dear friends hail from Cleveland. One outstanding person was American born; a monk of amiable character. His name was Bhakti Tirtha Swami. Another person from the same town was a saintly lady, Krsnanandini. She passed away this morning after a bout with cancer. I wrote a poem in her honour.
Krsnanandini
A motherly type of moral strength
A person whose devotion was of great length
It was hard for her to see others suffer
Her words and actions were always a buffer
Always there to encourage the other
She was the soul sister; Tariq, the soul brother
Believing in the family as the human backbone
Was a solution to those prone to be alone
Interfaith work was to bring the holy together
It is love that is the thing that acts as a tether
A speaker, a teacher and everyone’s friend
A devotee whose love for humanity comes to no end
An inspiration, and surely Prabhupada’s daughter
He gave such mercy in all he taught her
She will leave sublime memories behind
We’ll oblige to please her by being very kind
May the Source be with you!
