You came to this land to taste matter and wealth
You sought protection to dissipate illusion
Penetrating the depth of its valleys profound
Testing the solitude of its majestic peaks.
You believed in its hills and the green of its land
You dreamed of its snow and the voice of its rivers
You imagined heavens behind lakes and forests
You expected kindness emerging from its souls.
Instead you met dryness like trees rigid and stiff
You felt sadness and sorrow in landscape hidden
You discovered human beings devoid of joy and peace
Seeking in despair their artificial comfort.
Your images of perfect efficiency fainted
You stood alone and lost amidst vanishing hope
Till you met this candle ever burning and pure
Leading each of your steps to the conquest of SELF.
You became the light, dispelling shadows of fear
Dipawali arose among abandoned fields
Spreading waves of flames and streams of magic colours
Announcing the Advent of the Adi Shakti
Follow the step vibrated by Her Holy Feet
Go after their fragrance, worship their holy prints
They did tread our land, pouring love and peace
Sowing particles of lights on each corner and place.
Atmosphere is filled with Chaytanya eternal
Her majestic Presence has blessed its destiny
Her everlasting smile has made all flowers smile
Her enchanting eyes have made all rivers glimpse
Today you may be thousands, tomorrow millions
Realised souls responding to the Mother’s call
For transforming this Universe into a field of daisies
Offered as a diamond crown for the Queen of Queens.
