This entire week followers of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition give honor to Nityananda. The following is my poem as a meditation to him:

He is indeed by far

The mercy avatar

For he bore the blood

During the love flood

 

As companion to Gaur

Life was “less is more”

Distributing a wealth

For everyone’s health

 

Committed to the name

And establishing its fame

He went door to door

In an effort to explore

 

He went with Haridas

Many gains, no loss

With interesting reception

Prepared for all rejection

 

Jagai/Madai, there in queue

The loud gregarious two

Met more than their match

When Nitai did dispatch

 

They swayed, they fell

Totally drunk as hell

Nitai gave a thought

“These men shall not rot”

 

 

Must be given a chance

To sing and to dance

To the ultimate sound

Head up, feet to the ground

 

If they can succeed

That’s all we need

Gaur’s mission is one

To home we will run

 

Unknowing such a plus

They raised a nasty fuss

Hit the head of Nitai

As if to say “Goodbye”

 

But Nitai did stand up

Told Gaur not to chop

The thug’s lives to spare

Hearts turned then and there

 

The two lowly drunks

Practically become monks

Like a victorious Skanda
