April 1 Tuesday
Should swim along, staying and conquering
In this complex ocean of life with desire not attaching.
****
April 2 Wednesday
Lovingly in this birth, like a lotus leaf on a drop of rain
Singing Rama’s name, those who want to win and gain.
****
April 3 Thursday
Like the cashew nut on its fruit, just touching the life path
Not keeping any desire, those devoted to the brave Srinath.
Like a fish that grabs the bait meat and gets hooked sadly
****
April 4 Friday
The lord is full of virtues. He is the embodiment of all good characters. He is the one who makes the world a good place to live.
****
April 5 Saturday
He ensures that the demons are killed and the sages are saved. But, Yasoda is oblivious to all this. She is playing with him. Just as her son.
****
April 6 Sunday
Yasoda is playing with the one whom even the vedas have not really found. He is the one who cannot be counted. He is the one who is bigger than everyone else. He is the one who is a gem amongst the children.
****
April 7 Monday
Yasoda is playing with the one who is bigger than the biggest things in the world. She is playing with the one who is unlimited and not really measurable.
****
April 8 Tuesday
She is playing with the one who is smaller than the smallest of the atoms. She is playing with the one who is all of these but she is playing with him without really knowing who He is. She is playing with him as if he is just her son.
****
April 9 Wednesday
He is the best among men. He is the God of all the world. He is the Vittala of Pandarapura. He is the one who is being praised by Purandaradasa now.
****
April 10 Thursday
All that has happened is for good
(what has happened) has become good support for service to our Shridhara.
****
April 11 Friday
The head is ashamed to carry the rod of the palanquin; (my) wife and children cajoled me to carry the palanquin rod.
****
April 12 Saturday
I was proud like a king and hence refused to carry the casket (butti) with Gopala in it; (my) wife and her people persuaded me carry that.
****
April 13 Sunday
I was, like a king (arasu) ashamed of wearing a tulasi garland; Purandaravithala made me wear it.
****
April 14 Monday
(You) uncontrollable tongue give up your lowly thinking.
(it appears) that you are there only to berate others without logic
****
April 15 Tuesday
Why don’t you say shripati when you get up in the morning; Do repeat the name of our rajapati janaka at all times.
****
April 16 Wednesday
I beg you (O tongue) not to carry tales; Do take the name of our supreme lord shrirama at all times.
****
April 17 Thursday
Do hari smarane at all times O my tongue and do bhajana of Narahaari; try to remember the lotus feet of purandaravithala.
****
April 18 Friday
Rama here, rama there, shri rama everywhere
The mighty forces of Ravana started running away the moment they saw the monkey army.
****
April 19 Saturday
This person is rama for that person, that person is rama for this person; is there any such a strange phenomenon in this world?
****
April 20 Sunday
Noble persons like Hanuman embraced each other and danced; purandaravithala appeared there that moment.
****
April 21 Monday
O Boatman, I trust you; I trust you O Jagadama ramana
The boat is full, and it has nine (many) pictures; See the elegance of the boat, and carry it with grace.
****
April 22 Tuesday
Note the fullness of the river, it has great force; I am taken in by the force of the river, it is carrying me away.
See the rising water level of the river, It is rising fast; It is difficult for anyone to cross this river, Do help me cross it.
****
April 23 Wednesday
O boatman the sun is setting, there are another five (some) waiting on the other side; take the boat a little faster, take me to satya loka.
Truth is the secret, Bhakti is the path; Take me to the temple of Purandaravittala
****
April 24 Thursday
Why do good people fear hereafter? Why fear?
After one prays (smarane) of Sanjeevaraya (Krishna)
****
April 25 Friday
If there is doubt in ones dreams or his mind Will not fear go away if Hanuman is remembered
If one remembers the Bhima, who made a crore Lingas fall from each hair of his, will not all sins go away?
****
April 26 Saturday
O mind, servants of Yama (antaka) have not mercy at all, therefore give up all your worries (chinte) and worship Shri Hari.
****
April 27 Sunday
O mind, don’t go astray by eating good food (saviyoota), and by pursuing pleasures (vishaya lampata) all day and night; You keep praising one and berating others, you don’t when Yama’s messangers will arrive.
****
April 28 Monday
C5: O mind, you say that you haven’t yet eaten sumptuous food, haven’t seen the best of sights, and haven’t yet recovered loans (sala) given to others; (but) once the accounts (Katle) are full, you wont stay here even for a moment, (therefore) pray to purandara vittala.
****
April 29 Tuesday
That man who cant see Hari in himself is a born blind man.
He who does not hear the story of Krishna is indeed a dumb deaf man.
****
April 30 Wednesday
He who does not happily worship narahari has his hands broken; he who does not dance before Krishna is legless.
****
April 31 Thursday
That music which does not sing and praise Krishna is indeed like braying of a donkey; the one who does not fold his hands to keshava is indeed an animal.
