KRATU

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Another spiritual brother passed away on this day. I want to honour him with these words. Kratu Prabhu, rest in peace.

KRATU

I send this message from the heart

Since hearing you did depart

I just want to express the farewell

Since I’ve known you quite well

I believe you can possibly hear me

Since we are not the body

And the senses are quite limited

Heart vibrations are for the privileged

On that strength we can relate

Humbly, let’s look at our fate

We are born, grow, produce, dwindle, die

In all cases this does apply

It is the in-between that does count

We are tallied, then get the amount

May I say, you’ve done it well your way

No cause for any kind of dismay

I remember when you first came

You then had the Patel name

In the temple library we met

Your mind was already set

Of Krishna you were convinced

Prepared to get that mind rinsed

Of previous delusional ways

You know, we’ve all had our phase

You had this unusual wonder

Bhakti came at you like thunder

Books you took, you were on a hook

To maya, not a second look

From then on I saw you explode

You entered into a new abode

Taking with you your lifetime partner

You both became bhakti gardeners

You received – then you gave

Many souls you did save

I know a number of them

Like you, they are gems

It will be different now

And if you may allow

Let them do as you did

Place souls on the Krishna grid

That is our prime mission

It was your full decision

That is our prime joy

For we are His envoy
