Dear Harsha,

     Thank you for your appreciation of my Krishna poems.  Here is a verse in reference to your English verse:

गोकुले परिनृत्यन्ती यस्य माया सुखप्रदा ।
तं भजे मायिनं कृष्णं द्वैताद्वैतविवर्जितम् ।।

I devote to Krishna, the magician, whose magic dancing around Gokula provides joy.  He is beyond the conceptions of duality and non-duality.

Madhav

Friends:

Inspired by Madhav Deshpande and with a long history of my polite confrontations with Advaitins I propose to write 100 lines.
I am a staunch Krishna rasika. Writing in English deprives my lines of the majesty of Sanskrit. However what English lacks in the melody and rhythms of Sanskrit it will hopefully make up in its rasa.

Wait O! Advaitin, before I accept your mayavada
Let me tarry a bit and enjoy the lotus face of Krishna.

Kind regards,

Harsha
