Best wishes to everyone on the auspicious day of Akshay Trutiya !
O lotus eyed, one with the divine flute
One of the most auspicious days for Hindus, the word "Akshaya" means ‘that which never diminishes’ or imperishable or eternal in Sanskrit and the day is believed to bring good luck and success. It falls on the third day of the bright half of the Hindu Vaishakh month (April-May), when the Sun and Moon are in exaltation; they are simultaneously at their peak of brightness, which happens only once every year. Initiations made or valuables bought on this day are considered to bring success or good fortune.
On this day I thought of seeking God’s blessings and have penned a few lines. Some lines inspired from a popular Hindi bhajan.
O lotus eyed, one with the divine flute
O dark skinned one, my Krushna
I seek your blessings
for a glimpse of you, O God
but still no sight of you, O God
if you bless them, O Lord
Reveal Thyself, O Krushna
I seek your blessings
with thirst in my eyes
and longing in my heartfor a glimpse of you, O God
temple, church, mosque ...
idols, symbols, holy books ...but still no sight of you, O God
the blind gains sight, the dumb sings
the invalid runs a marathonif you bless them, O Lord
Your love overflows in my heart
mind thinks of nothing elseReveal Thyself, O Krushna
