Dwār ik yogī ‘Alakh’ pukār.
A Gopi of Braj tells Mother Yashoda.... “A yogi has been calling out to that unseen Ultimate Entity at your door, “Alakh! Alakh!”
Chandra-bhāl gal muṇḍ-māl bhal, shīsh Gaṅg-jaladhār.
A beautiful crescent is decorating His forehead, and He has a garland of skulls around His neck.There is a stream of the holy Ganga flowing out from the top-knot on His head.
Ripu anaṅg prati ang bhujangan, rang shubhra balihār.
He appears to be an enemy of Kamadev and His limbs are ornamented with entwined snakes!
Nāṁv Shambhu aru ṭhāṁv batāvat, giri Kailāsh majhār.
He has a beautiful fair complexion. He says that His name is Shambhu and that He resides on Mount Kailash.
Ghar te nikari maharī Yashumati tehi, pūchhati kari satakār.
Mother Yashoda came out of the house to greet the yogi with respect.
“Sunahu amaṇgal bhesh! bhaye mam, mangalamay sukumār.
O you who are so inauspiciously attired! A tender Child with all auspicious signs has been born to me.
Yā te jo chāhahu so māṅgahu, maṇin motiyan-thār.”
Therefore ask for anything you wish. I will give you platters of pearls and precious jewels if you so desire!
Jogī kah “Maiyā maiṇ jogī, mohiṁ na chahiya sansār.
The yogi replied, “I am an ascetic and have no desire for worldly things.
Ihai bhīkh de māy kripā kari, lakhāṁ Lāl ik bār”.
If you wish to give Me alms, mother, grant Me a glimpse of your Son just once.
Maiyā kah “Mam Lāl ḍarego, jogī tohiṁ nihār.”
Yashoda replied, “My little Darling will be scared seeing your formidable appearance.”
“Sunu Maiyā yah Lāl tihāro, saguṇ Brahm sākār.”
The yogi replied, “Listen Mother! This Child of yours is the Supreme Lord with a Divine form and attributes.”
Tum to jogī! “Alakh Alakh,” kah, puni kimi lakh karatār’.
Mother Yashoda said, “Even if what you say is true, you chant “Alakh! Alakh!” (The unperceivable Supreme Truth) so why would you want to see Him?”
“Maiyā! Alakh na kahyoṁ kahyoṁ hauṁ, ā lakh Nandkumār.”
The yogi cleverly replied, “I was not saying “Alakh,” I was saying ‘a-lakh Nandakumara’ (Come see the Son of Nand!).”
Lyāī Lāl Yashomati bhorī, Hari Har dṛig bhaye chār.
Hearing this, the innocent and compassionate Yashoda brought her Darling Child and the eyes of Shyamasundara and Lord Shankara met, reawakening the eternal love they have for each other.
Lakhi ‘Kripalu’ yehi madhur-milan kahaṁ, koṭi prāṇ dauṁ vār.
Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj says, “I sacrifice countless lives on this sweet blissful reunion of two eternal acquaintances!”
Live recorded kirtan during evening satsang in February 2026 from Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple of JKP Radha Madhav Dham, Austin, TX.
