My poem about Nityananda, whose birthday is on Monday.

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 the effort to explore

 

He went with Haridas

Many gains – no loss

With interesting reception

Prepared for any rejection

 

Jagai/Madhai, there in queue

The loud obnoxious two

Met more than their match

When Nitai did dispatch

 

Totally drunk as hell

They swayed, they fell

Nitai had a thought

These men shall not rot

 

They should be given a chance

To sing and to dance

To the ultimate sound

With head up, feet to the ground

 

If they do succeed

That’s all we need

Gaur’s mission is won

To home we will run

 

Unknowing such a plus

The two nasties raised a fuss

Struck the head of Nitai

As if to say “Good bye”

 

But Nitai did stand up

Told Gaur not to chop

The thug’s two lives to spare

Hearts turned then and there

 

The two lowly drunks

Practically became monks

Like a victorious Skanda
