Namaste.
Enjoy a few verses from the exquisite Sanskrit
devotional poetry 'Sri Kamalapatya Ashtakam':
bhujagatalpagataM ghana sundaraM

bhajata re! manujAH kamalApatim
- Sri Kamalapatya Ashtakam. 1-3
Sri Kripaluji Maharaj melodiously recites often the fourth verse
reminding the seekers about the invaluable nature of human life.
manujadeham imaM bhuvi durlabhaM
samadhigamya surair api vAJchitam
viSaya lampaTatAm apahAya vai
bhajata re! manujAH kamalApatim
- Sri Kamalaapatya Ashtakam. 4
Human body in this world is very difficult to obtain,
even yearned for by the celestial beings in heaven.
Knowing this fact well, removing yourself
from the indulgence of worldy pleasures,
O dear fortunate men (and women)!
Please adore the Beloved of Kamala, Sri Krishna! i
