Hari bol Prabhus,
I've just found this (from here: www.vconline.biz/), and it certainly made for interesting reading, some of you may find this 'offensive' and perhaps a little brutal, but to me it certainly made me sit up and realise what material life is all about. A timely reminder.
Nityananda Ram Prahbu, if there are too many complaints on the frankness of the language, please feel free to remove this, I'll leave it to your discretion.
YS, K.
Bless This House
By: Jayadvaita Swami
Bless this house, O Lord, we pray.
Make it safe by night and day.
Bless our humble vestibule,
Bless the TV, bless the pool.
Bless our silly little notions.
Bless our week's supply of Trojans.
Bless, oh bless the internet.
Bless our liquor cabinet.
Bless our kitchen, for it features
Places where we roast Thy creatures,
Bake them, broil them, nuke them, fry them.
Blessed Lord, please sanctify them
While we're scarfing down their wings,
livers, legs, and other things-
Breasts and tongues and blood galore,
Bless them, Lord, forevermore.
Bless the toilets where we sit,
Bless the urine, bless the ___.
Bless our fish and parakeet.
Bless our dog, who fouls the street.
Bless our dull routine behavior.
Bless our envy of our neighbor.
Bless this house, O Lord, we pray.
Make it safe by night and day.
Bless the children, bless the wife.
Bless our empty mundane life.

Re: Controversy continued....
Tue, April 10, 2007 - 4:23 PMI read this a while back and I really liked it. I liked it so much that I posted it on my blog. Unfortunately, not so many people felt the same way I did and expressed it in their comments. The main point was that we're always putting down the "karmis". But the way I see it, we arent putting down karmis, just the lifestyle. Some people told me that devotees focus too much on all the negative stuff but never on the positive spiritual life, given that, yes, many devotees tend to focus on what they shouldnt do instead of what they should, but I found this poem as a realization
of how steeped in ignorance we were before and how we should be thankful to be aspiring devotees now. -

Tue, April 10, 2007 - 6:52 PMI find that Bhaktivinode Thakur wrote both, some songs of Thakur are very harsh towards karmi life and some are just about Krishna's lila. Who is more KC than Thakur Ji
