Nagumomu Ganaleni Naajaali Telisi

Nannu Brova Raa Raadaa ?

Sri Raghuvara! Ni

 MEANING:

O Rama! Supreme among Raghus! Missing your charming smile-lit face I languish here.

Knowing my mental plight, cant you come and protect me?

 O One who holds Govardhana hill! Members of your retinue who have the duty of reminding you of your daily engagements cannot fail in their duty.

 Does not Garuda execute your commands expeditiously? Could he have excused himself saying that he was staying far from the earth in Vaikunta, your heavenly abode? Exalted Lord! Ruler of the Universe! Whom else can I appeal to? Please shun disregard. I can’t bear it. Take me into your fold.

Oh Lord this is exactly how I feel right now. Each and every word. I feel it. Krishna you are the ultimate person who can be approached and yet if you shun us who will take care of us. Whom do we approach. Ultimately, it’s you on whom everyone can depend on. Please protect us Krishna. You have always been there for your devotees. We are orphaned here. Being separated from you we are lost in this material world. Each and every one of us need you Krishna. 

Please lead us back to your supreme abode oh Lord and liberate us from the shackles of this material world.
