Jai Panduranga!


Several spots on earth do exist
Where the blessed lord makes his presence felt

The abode of Lord Vishnu on Earth
After visiting which people do not experience any dearth

On the banks of the river Chandrabhaga
With mother Rukmai on a brick stands Panduranga

The varkaris long to go to Pandharapura
To get the blessed vision of Mother Rukmai and Lord Vitthala

Royally adorned is the dear Lord
To describe his beauty is really hard

One glimpse is not enough to know him
He is ever in the mind of those who enter his realm

Playful as ever is Lord Krishna
How can I fathom your actions oh husband of Rama

Of Madhu you are the slayer
To mother Yashoda you are a dear

Sang your glory did Pundalika
Then came your blessed devotee Namadeva

You made a miser of nine crores called Navakoti Narayana
To become a renounciate servant of yours called Purandara Daasa

You played with Janabai as a child with his mother
How many more stories of yours can I gather?

You showed that true devotion to you is dear
Showered your grace on Chokar Mahar

You incarnated as Jnanadeva the boy saint
Explained the Bhagavat Gita in words quaint

Started the tradition of Varkari
Yearly piligrimage to Pandhari

In water,plants and trees did you appear
To Savata Mali the gardener

In water,clay and fire did you appear
To Ghora Kumbhara the potter

The village of Mangalvedha you blessed
By Bhaktha Damaji Pant were you worshipped

In the ancient village of Prathishtana
You helped your devotee Eknaatha

When the gatha was drowned in Chandrabhaaga
You brought it back unharmed to Tukaraama

When the Yavanas tried to capture him
You appeared as several Shivaji's in your realm

You appeared as divine Lord Rama
To the great Samartha Ramadaasa

To Narahari sonar did u appear as Lord Shiva
Proved there is no difference between Hari and Hara

What words can describe your glory
He who knows you is your image verily

Bless me with devotion eternal
Apart from you everything is unreal

Let me always hanker for your vision
Let chanting your name be my mission

I seek refuge in your lotus feet
You are here, there and in the next street

You are known for your devotees as the protector
Maya is like in the river an aligaotor

Remembering your name drives away illusion
Gives one the required emancipation

Turn your merciful grace towards me
Let your image always in my mind be

--Dedicated to the lotus feet of Panduranga who is none other than the Sadguru
