KRISHNA LEELA
Thousands of children,
Not less than a million,
Krishna’s family grew,
In course of time due.
He had 16100 wives,
Besides the other fives,
Each one had her ten,
A grand size it was then.
For the God incarnation,
In the Krishna’s generation,
Nothing was impossible,
Under His powers invisible.
The eldest brother Rukmi,
Of Krishna’s wife Rukmini,
Hated Him as a kidnaper
Of his beloved sister.
He invited Balarama once,
To play a game of chess,
In that he played foul,
And then began to howl.
Balaram with his club fought,
And Rukmi died on the spot,
It was the time most unfortunate,
That brought this sad incident.
On a happy marriage occasion
Between Rukmini’s grandson,
And Rukmi’s granddaughter,
This sad death did occur.
In another incident, Banasura,
An ardent devotee of Lord Shiva,
And the eldest son of the King Bali,
He was protected by Shiva’s mercy.
His daughter, named as Usha,
Had a love affair with Aniruddha,
The grand son of Lord Krishna,
This wasn’t approved by Banasura.
In a battle that ensued Banasura
With the help of Lord Siva.
Krishna went for a fight,
And both used their might.
Krishna, the Vishnu incarnation,
At the end, this battle He won.
Banasura’s life was spared,
As for his life, Shiva prayed.
Once family members of Krishna,
Went to a forest near Dvaraka,
They felt on the way thirsty,
And saw a well dry and empty.
A large lizard was in the well,
Once it slipped in and fell
They tried their best to lift it,
But failed in their attempt.
At once, this news was brought,
And Krishna rushed to the spot
His long arms gave a pull,
It was brought up the well.
It got back its Heavenly body,
By Krishna’s magic touch Holy,
He was Nrga, a charitable King once,
But was cursed for a small offence.
A cow he gifted came back,
And re-joined his live stock
He donated it with the rest.
The owner cursed him for that.
Instances like this were many,
They may appear to be funny,
But for the Lord, it’s just a play,
He helps His devotees this way.
