In meditating on perceiving the presence of Krishna, this verse from the Bhagavad Gita came to mind:

Ananyas cintayanto mam/ye janah paryupasate/tesam nityabhiyukatanam/yoga-ksemam vahamy aham. The translation is: But those who worship Me with exclusive devotion, meditating on My transcendental form-to them I carry what they lack, and I preserve what they have.

This has been a prayer constantly on my mind and heart whenever I am trying to create-especially now as I'm trying to finish my Ph.D dissertation! Krishna promises to preserve the best of who we are and what we are capable of, and to bring to us what we need to become even more devoted. This is the grace and mercy of Krishna. It's something we can only truly experience, rather than rationalize or control. This prayer can also become a mantra for us "carry to me what I lack...carry to me what I lack." It's a prayer that keeps us humble in a healthy way. Even more so, it's a prayer that helps us realize how much love and care Krishna has for us, in such an intimate and personal way.
So I structure the song around this verse from the Gita. I hope you can meditate on the chant of "to them I carry what they lack" and be able to feel Krishna's personal care for you.And sometimes that divine presence breaks through into our hearts without a doubt. I try to express that a bit here musically with an exuberant chord and a cry of Hey Radhe!

Carry To Me What I Lack

"The Parijat flower, also spelled “Paarijat” and “Paarijaata” is of a beautiful and mysterious plant whose flowers fall on the ground after blooming.  The flowers bloom at night and drop down from the branches at the first rays of light, leaving us wanting for more. Read more to learn about this.


Parijat flower is known as Night-flowering Jasmine and Coral Jasmine worldwide.

According to folklore, a princess “Parijataka”, who was in love with tparijat flowerhe Sun tried to win the heart of the Sun. When he rejected her, she committed suicide and a tree sprung from her ashes. Unable to stand the sight of her lover, the tree flowers only at night and sheds them like tear drops before the sun rises."

"One who knows what is Om knows that Om is the sound representation of Krsna he immediately remembers Krsna just like we chant Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya. This conception of Om and impersonal conception is different. The impersonalist has no information of Krsna, he thinks of something like the Brahmajyoti effulgence."

"Fauci, meanwhile, told the Financial Times last week that he had not briefed Trump for two months. The White House has also reportedly prevented him from making appearances on TV.

"I have a reputation, as you probably have figured out, of speaking the truth at all times and not sugar-coating things. And that may be one of the reasons why I haven't been on television very much lately," Fauci told the FT."
