THAT’S WHY THOU ART CALLED GURU.





THAT’S WHY THOU ART CALLED GURU.


O the Great and Unique Redeemer of the Universe!
Nothing in the prodigious contrivance of the Theo
Is so heavy as Thou art which thy very ‘Label’ infers.

O the sole Dispeller of the whole darkness of ignorance!
Thou art made up of unusual ingredients and stuffs
To revive the dormant, spread peace and knowledge enhance.

O the charismatic Remover of the perturbed public pains!
No mundane medicines can be as panacean as Thine
To eliminate desire and render relief from the rigid chains.

O the Divine Delegate on the transitory earth!
Neither do I eulogise nor flatter, Thanks Lord Krishna!
To prompt me to pen what’s only the sooth.

O the transcendental Torch Bearer of my long loose life!
I beg nothing but Thy grace to vanquish this interminable strife.
