Mayapura, West Bengal






MAYAPURA


One day a pensive man looked over the river from home

His mind’s eye had perceptively seen

A vision – a Vaikuntha clone

That place is now Mayapura, a pre-cognitive dream

 

An image of Germans, Russians, Americans, harmonious

Multi spirits all come together

Voices of the nature euphonious

Putting Maya, illusion, at the end of her tether

 

The impossible dream materialized

A miracle that is beyond belief

Taking many by utter surprise

At this cultural hybrid where God is chief

 

It puts Vaishnavism currently under the radar plan

Perhaps since Angkor Wat few have been

Impacted by such a historical measure of man

Where one can be a servant-King or Queen

 

Call it a renaissance in a world needing change

Through icons of love and temples to observe

Relations based on bhakti exchange

A form of yoga practicing the joy to serve

 

There are architectural wonders, urban splendours

Gardens, fountains, cows, the River Ganga

Features that encourage noble surrenders

People on safe embrace, the elderly disentangle

 

It does pose to be a slower peaceful pace of life

One can find both efficiency and happy delays

Chaotic motorized traffic cutting like a knife

A combined vintage modernity through a lens of broad gaze

 

A word of caution – for any selfish agenda

Will contradict Bhagavan’s divine setup

For Satan’s craft can spoil the colour magenta

May that humble dream from a small grass hut continue to develop

 

– By Bhaktimarga Swami
