'Meera met his beloved Girdhar!'

What evokes such couplets mumbling the meetings with the lord himself? Is it Meera giving herself to joy while whisking delicacies for his beloved or a heart sunken in love on the luring lute of Mohan or a state unutterable with mere words? Meera knows!

Yet such sublime couplets scent the air when a satsang dawns, cymbals arise to tinkle, the monochromic keys sit in and the songs of old-rebellious love rise in her name.

Midnight climbs to the head, eyes hint a hue of slumber; but suddenly an unformed voice puts his heart on the mic, strikes the string of his tambur and turns the falling eyes to dancing feets, abrupt. Prakash Kahttu, the youngest of the singers in our RKY's kin is a wonder to his age. With his voracious absorption of the oral traditions, listen to him as he sets his young rigor unto a pitch night at Phalasiya at the Rajasthan Kabir Yatra'22.

Translation of the Song:

Kabir darts the arrow! Shoots it with brawn!
First, it hit the quills Then it pierced the body
First, it hit the quills Then it pierced the body
When it struck the devotee Prahalad, it pierced through!

The sadhus have stopped their wanderings,
The vines don't climb anymore
The noblemen have ceased to chant,
such a wonder of nature!

Yashoda churns the yougurt, whips without rest
Kanha relishes the butter, rest settles on the buttermilk
How do my chords with Mohan break once mingled?
My love for the black beloved
My dear for Mohan

Castles and roofs stand before the lean mansion
How do I sight your grace, Oh beloved? A wall falls afront

Heading a clay pot, I went to the rivers
My eyes met krishna, the dear prince! My heart turns timid!

Grazes cows on the pastures of Vrindavan, plays the flute
The mellow notes of flute shook my sweet slumber

Mohan arrives as the guest, I stir the porridge well!
Meera found his Girdhar at the stroke of midnight
