An Ode to our Father

A blessed Saturday it is
As we see you and hear from you
With great anticipation we start our day
Thinking what life lessons will you teach us today
And wondering what to cook for our most special one today
Hoping and praying that you will be pleased with us
As the heart yearns to hear those magical words:
Kṛṣṇe matir astu” from you beloved Father.

Our faces light up upon seeing you
And seeing how you prioritise your children
Often braving through grave challenges
Without as much as batting an eyelid
The purity of a child beaming in your eyes
The eternal truthfulness echoing through your voice
The aura around you that spreads all around and reaches our homes
We are awed by how well you know our innermost desires and questions
And how you address them during your class, often without us asking for it.


My heart melts to see
The loving exchanges between you and your devotees
Is there anything else so sweet
To be found on this earth?
You are our sunshine
With your radiance you light up our dark sky
How blessed we are
That you zoom into our lives every Saturday
And you make our day through your home visits
A blissful Saturday indeed!


We are eternally indebted to you
For the suffering you readily accept for your children
We seek your forgiveness
For we don’t deserve you
We are so fortunate that you took us all under your wing.
Despite our flaws and frailties
May we always seek refuge in your lotus feet
May we endeavor at all times to please you,
To make your mission, our mission of life
And make you proud!
