Narada And The Illusion Of Maya

Sage Narada was a Maharishi, a renowned teacher, inspirer of poets, counselor of kings, a divine messenger, and also a notorious ‘mischief-maker’. The word ‘Nara’ means knowledge useful to mankind and ‘Da’ means ‘a giver’. So ‘Narada’ means the one who gives knowledge to mankind and imparts right guidance.

Narada with a knotted tuft of hair in the center of an otherwise clean-shaven scalp, usually makes his characteristic entry with a Veena (a stringed musical instrument) in his hand and the name of Lord Narayana on his lips: “Narayana, Narayana”!

Catching The Essence Of Honey Dreams

We think high and low, we think we know! We think, we think, we think.
But can we catch the one who thinks, oh, catcher can you do it?
And then, again, the catcher slides
Into her honey dreams.
And will she know of honey’s taste?
Or does the catcher act?
And round and round we go.

Can we catch the one who acts, oh, catcher can you do it?
And then again the catcher slides
Into her honey dreams.
And will she know of honey’s taste?
Or is the catcher born?
And round and round we go.
