Poem: ‘Krishna’s endless leela’ by Sanchit Gupta, Apeejay School, Model Town, Jalandhar

Kanha dances for butter in front of his mother,
He is Gopala !
Adi shesha is now his bigger brother.
He is Yashoda’s lala!

He refuses to wear footwear because of his cow,
He is Krishna!
Ferocious Narasimha has become the darling of Nandgaon.
He is Shyama!

Lord of everything steals butter,
He is Navneet Priya,
In front of whom gods a word can’t utter,
But he is now Radha’s dulara.

One who is lord of sweetness,
He is Madhuradhepatey.
The reason for Braj Mandel’s happiness!
He is Adharam Madhuram.

He who has Radha as his dance teacher,
Is known as Radharaman

Without telling mother Yashodha, invites to his home saints and preacher
Is known is Nand nandan

Indra’s pride he breaks,
Is known as Giriraj Dharan
He dances on Kaliya’s hood like snakes,
He is banke bihari

Then he grows up,
Goes to Mathura to kill Kansa.
Chanura’s bones he breaks up,
But he can’t go to Vrindavan now.

Jarasandh attacked his city,
17 times Krishna defended.
(18th time) Kalyavan didn’t have pity,
This way mathura had ended.

Now he goes to Kurukshetra,
Teaches dharma to his cousin,
Some agree some not,
Kauravas were not alive, none
