Dance Krishna Dance!

I was flipping through the pages of my diary when I saw a translation in English of a poem on Krishna by Surdas. I wrote it in my diary about a year back when I saw it on internet.

It is really very nice and if you pay attention to the last two lines, you will enjoy it more! See the amazing Krishna leela, that inspite of being the lord of three worlds, he dances for his butter!


The mother says 'Dance!

Krishna, dance and I'll give you butter!'

His tiny feet pound and stamp upon the earth,

His ankle bells ring;

Sur sings the praises of his name,

Earth and heaven resound with his fame,

But the Lord of the Three Worlds,

Dances for his butter.
