I remember when I was a baby my mind and body were so small With the passing of time they have changed completely but I am the same person ,that’s for sure I am an embodied soul passing on a journey from childhood to youth and on to old age I know that one day I have to leave this body just as an actor has to leave the stage Never was there a time when we did not exist and we shall exist until time unending Those who are wise don’t try to resist knowing that the end brings another... Reincarnation, after death is something more Reincarnation, we’ve all been here before Reincarnation, in this birth and death cycle Reincarnation, we reap what we sow Everyone who is born, is sure to die and after death, we’ll have to die again We can escape from this cycle if we cry for the Lord’s mercy by chanting His holy name And our desires at the moment we depart determine the next body we’ll occupy Those who remember God as they breathe their last return to him in the spiritual sky Where every word is a song, every step is a dance everything’s eternal and full of bliss and cognizance Been away for so long, its time to go back home emancipate your soul and attain freedom from… Reincarnation, birth and death no more Reincarnation, it’s time to close the door Reincarnation, escape from the cycle Reincarnation, we reap what we sow Reincarnation, our futures in our hands Reincarnation, try to understand Reincarnation…

Krsna cannot be approached directly He’s only known through you By rendering service to you we render service to Krsna too My direct approach is useless ‘cause I’m bereft of purity I want to know how to surrender I desperately need your mercy Vraja’s Queen, a new moon has arisen in the land You are without self-interest or personal motivation You purely serve just for Krsna’s pleasure with out care for reputation Name, fame, house, family, fortune, You gave it all up for Him But me, like a dog chasing it’s tail I follow my own whim Vraja’s Queen, a new moon has arisen in the land, Your bodily luster glows a dazzling golden hue In Vraja’s pleasure groves, Syama’s heart is sold to you

Pastimes 05:19
He placed His red lips to His flute filling its holes with tender fingers Village people, their minds fixed His sweet pastimes they remember Animals stop moving as if sleeping enchanted by flute songs grace Steady lightning on His face a smile like a jeweled necklace Cows wandering on a yonder mountain side they hear the sound of His flute All the trees and creepers feeling joy inside spring forth flowers and fruit They do not pray for diamonds or rubies or gold They just want to remember the pastimes of the Lord Maddening aroma, sweet like honey from His garland of jasmine flowers For His pleasure all the bees sing loudly of their enchanters magical powers Acclaiming their song gratefully He plays his flute to repay as all of Vraja listens lovingly He steals their hearts away Stunned in ecstasy feeling so happy Yamuna river stops flowing She requests the wind for some mercy, dust from His feet glowing They do not pray for diamonds or rubies or gold They just want to remember the pastimes of the Lord The mighty storm cloud is afraid of offending so he stays overhead and shades like an umbrella Sending showers of flowers pleasingly he gently produces sounds of thunder Kind Mother Earth she is a crying pained by cows hard hooves Through her forest He is strolling all her sufferings removed He plays his flute to call His cows and friends Vraja’s people are waiting Counting His cows on a string of gems in the west the sun is setting They do not pray for diamonds or rubies or gold They just want to remember the pastimes of the Lord

Woe To Him 03:57
(Inspired by the Bible, Habakkuk 2:9, 12, 15-17) Woe to him who builds a realm by unjust gain to set his nest high Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime The violence you have done will destroy you and your destruction of the animals will terrify you For you have shed, you have shed, man’s blood You have shed, you have shed, animal’s blood Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors pouring it from the wineskin ‘till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies Now it’s your turn to drink and be exposed The cup from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you and disgrace will cover your glory The violence you have done will destroy you and your destruction of the animals will terrify you For you have shed, you have shed, man’s blood you have shed, you have shed, animal’s blood

Life comes from life but they say, life comes from matter Life comes from love but they say, love doesn’t matter Reduce our personality to a bag of blood and bones saying constitutionally we’re made of sticks and stones Though its never been proven in the laboratory they teach that their claim is more than just a theory In reality it’s dogma based on blind faith atheistic science is the opiate of the state They’ve never taken matter and produced life yet their education institutions teach our children these lies Life comes from life but they say, life comes from matter Life comes from love but they say, love doesn’t matter It’s a mechanistic age only concerned with systems maintaining an indifference to all of us people Impersonalistic ways are destined to fail because they are based on an erroneous principle Where law ends it calls in days of tyranny the age of great, great, great, men’s been replaced with ant hill multiplicity People sell their souls for a wage and their wages for their vices gone are the days of the sage, now no one gives God thanks and praises Tell me, what’s the chemical formula for love? Tell me, what’s the chemical formula for love? Life comes from life but they say, life comes from matter Life comes from God but they say, God doesn’t matter

Those who take what they need and leave the rest aside they are the people with whom peace and love reside Those who take what they need and leave aside the rest they are the people who God blessed Money can’t buy love! If you live only for your greed, then the rest will die so take only what you need and leave the rest aside From whom has it all come from? To whom does it all belong? From whom has it all come from? How can you call it your own? Money can’t buy love! How many clothes can a person wear? How many cars can a person drive? How much food can a person eat? How many shoes can you wear on two feet? Their hands are bigger than their pocket their eyes are bigger than their stomach They’re not satisfied with their own worth they wouldn’t be satisfied if they owned the whole earth Live according to your need, not according to your greed Money can’t buy... love!

If you are silent you will hear him, crying beneath a cover of pretentious claim If you are quiet and come near him, hiding behind a facade of fallacious fame If you are near you will scare him, insecure under a fable of glamorous name If you are there, you beside him in the mirror of pretenders domain Pretender man, you hide behind your mask You don’t like me, you’ll destroy me Pretender man, you don’t know who you are You’re just like me, you are me If everybody would clean their own world then the whole world would be clean If everybody would give love to themselves then everybody would give love to the world Clean your own world! Clean the whole world! Give love to your self! Give love to the world! If you are wise you will hear me, crying “Wake up victim of pretentious claim” If you are kind you’ll come near me with out any duplicity or shame If you are sincere you’ll share with me, so sure of my trust in your name If you are there, you beside me, observer in the mirror of loves domain Lover, now you’ve taken off your mask you’re just like me, you are me Lover, now I know who you are you have saved me, from me Give me self realization!
