O mind, Awaken to Hari !

Mind, Narayana has come.

The cry has gone too far,
Mind torturing itself.

Shiva's Dances on the mind.

Narayana, Narayana, Narayana.
Hari Narayana has been waiting.
Wake up from the slumber
Sleeping mind.
Hari Narayana is.
Shiva dances His dance
Upon you mind.
You could now wake up
To see the waiting
Of Hari Narayana.


Seeing Hari Narayana
You are delighted -
Yet, why do you
Go back to slumber?
O mind, of forgetfulness
And full of carelessness.

Hari Narayana is as radiant
Waiting for you
Again and again:
O mind -
Shiva will always dance upon you.
And you will be helped
From all your slumber.

Hari Narayana can you look
Upon now -
Hari who is ready to
Embrace you back
With His Power and Might.

Do not go back to sleep,
O mind. Yet come,
To taste the Nectar
Again and Again and Again -
The Nectar that is Hari,
Who Presents Himself to You
Again and again and again.

O mind
You do not know -
But if you turn to Hari,
He could show you
Your own pain and agony.

Know this O mind,
And start looking
Upto Hari for solace.

Hari then brings
You gentle breezes;
Soothing all your pains
In His Embrace.

His Love flashes as quick as a lightning,
Let the Dance of Shiva
Speed you up from your slumber.
Dance with Shiva
That you become Quick
To Be Awakened
To the speed of Hari's Embrace.
