John Donne --- what a passionate Poet and I so love his writings. Complex and just plainly passionate ~ and I admire you for taking this poem - this poet and bringing about such awareness to the readers. It is as of anguish the Poet cries out and you have once again, inspired me - and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear Aba ~

One of the names of Shiva, the destroyer, is also
Hari ... which means
chor, the thief. He steals our hearts to give us life (making us a devotee), no death ever then ... the heart which is otherwise dead to
Gopala is sprung to life,
"Govaradhana Giridhara Gopal". Lovely Bhajan.

Chitta Chora Yashoda Key Bal
Navanita Chora Gopal
Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhanadhara Gopal
Gopal Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhanadhara Gopal
Meaning
O Lord Gopala! Beloved Prince of Mother Yashoda! Thou art the captivator of the hearts of devotees. Thou art the stealer of butter, i.e. hearts of the Gopis (devotees). Chant the name of Gopala, Govardhandhara Gopala.
