Lost in your thoughts---Lyrics

-
it's a shame
i didn't know you earlier
it's your name
that my heart beats for, can't you hear?
i sing to myself,
i tell to myself
as it were,
lost in your thoughts.....lost in your thoughts......

now i see, how it was meant to be
now i feel, it's better gotta be real
this time goes on like the wily wind
carries me into that eternity--
where the stars still shine in the day,
where the nights are sure bright by the bay;
and i stay alone to myself
talking of love to myself,
as it were,
lost in your thoughts.....lost in your thoughts......

glad that it went so easily
there was no room for being sorry;
thankfulness, for this kind bliss
parting ways without a gentle kiss:
it could have been even more worse
words would have sounded like a curse.
a dream within myself,
filled with a memory of myself...
as it were,
lost in your thoughts.........lost in your thoughts.......

lost in your thoughts, i am still alive
lost in your thoughts, i have survived
lost in your thoughts, i am breathing
lost in your thoughts, i am still alive

lost in your thoughts, i am dying
lost in your thoughts, i'm defeated
lost in your thoughts, i am losing
lost in your thoughts, i am dying

as it were...
lost in your thoughts........lost in your thoughts!!

Context: This is a poem in the “ashtama skandam” of the Pothana’s Bhagavatham, where in the story of the Maha Vishnu in His “Vamana” avatara is told. Vamana goes to the great demon king Bali and asks him for three feet of space, as Bali is doing a great penance and is giving alms/charity to those who seek. Then, the intelligent guru of Bali, Shukracharya, warns Bali not to promise anything to this young Brahmin Vamana, as “He is none other than the great Vishnu, and He will destroy you if you give Him whatever He asks”. In reply, Bali, who is known for his great charitable nature, say

Gajendra Moksham - Part-2

This is another poem from the epic of “Gajendramoksham”. When I was a kid, I couldn’t get the emotions behind this poem, but later on when I started thinking on my own, my eyes filled with tears whenever I read or heard this padyam. Of course I admit I am very emotional but I believe this poem will cause everyone a tinge of sorrow in their hearts at the plight of the elephant king and at the same filled with utmost devotion to the Ultimate Liberator, Sri Maha Vishnu. Context: The whole story of Gajendra Moksham is how the Elephant King gets “ moksham ”, the Telugu/Sanskrit word, the closest equivalent in English I can think of is absolute Liberation . The scene starts with the Elephant King leading his herd and moving across the thick forest towards the river for quenching their thirst. It is described very graciously that, as the herd moved, the Elephant King glowed with pride, and all the animals in the jungle get scared, as if the Earth shook during Pralaya, destruction of Universe

There would not be a single Telugu who has not read about or atleast heard about the great King of the Kakatiyas..Rudrama Devi (intentionally called a King). She ruled the Kingdom of the Kakatiyas, basing Warangal as the capital between 1261 AD to 1289 AD. Here are some interesting pieces from the Kakatiya History: 1) Ganapathi Deva Maharaju (1199-1261 AD), one of the most key Kakatiya rulers, gave a masculine name to his daughter Rudrama Devi, calling her "Rudra Deva", owing to her impeccable administrative abilities in performing royal duty. She was a revolutionary ruler. She wore her attire in a manner that resembled a man and sat on the throne during her rule. She encourgaed foreign visitors and messengers to visit the kingdom. (And this is when Marco Polo had visited this part of the country, on his way to China from Venice). In times of need, she took up the sword and fought in the battle-fields. 2) When Ganapathi Deva anticipated his last days, his heir was none other
