Application to Lord
Krishna for the post of Thatha
By
P.R.Ramachander
aka Raja Thatha
Oh my little Krishna Oh my little treasure,
The Devaki in prison
loved you like a mother ,
Vasudeva who
took you out of the prison loved you
like a father,
Yasoda who
did not give birth to you
fed and cuddled you like her own Baby,
Nandagopa the
lord of cowherds managed you like
his son,
The evil ones sent
by Kamsa were scared of you as a
baby enemy,
Some Gopis of
Brindavan wanted to catch you
while you are stealing,
Your elder brother Rama
and mischievous Gopas looked at
you for guidance ,
Kaliya on
whose head ,
you danced started shivering to see you ,
The pretty Gopi
lasses wanted to make you their lover,
Radha had long
back decided that you were her own,
Akroora and
Narada respected you as their God ,
Kamsa
breathed his last as he saw you as his foe,
The people of Mathura
always wanted you as their king,
Sandheepini the saint
loved you like his student ,
The princess Rugmani
saw you as her sweet lover,
To thousands of
your wives, you were a great lover,
To your little sister
Subadhra you were an elder brother,
To your class mate
Kuchela you were
the closest friend,
To your Pandava
cousins you were a loving brother,
To their
mother Kunthi Devi you were her nephew,
To Daraupadi you
were always her saviour
,
To Duryodhana and
Shakuni you were their dreaded enemy ,
To Arjuna you
were a friend and chariot driver,
To the great Bheeshma
, Vidhura and others you were Lord Vishnu,
To your devotee
Surdas you were a mischievous kid
,
To the great
Chaithanya you were the lad whom he loved ecstasically,
To poet
Jayadeva you were the lover
of Radha ,
To Vallabhacharya you were
some one he wanted to serve ,
To Princess Meera
you were her lover whom she wanted to marry ,
To The graceful
Aandal you were her
darling Ranganatha ,
To sage
Madhva you were the young mischievous cow herd boy,
To Poonthanam and Meppathur you
were their doctor
Guruvayurappan who cured them,
To the Bilvamangalam samiyar you were
the mischievous kid who guided
him,
But to none that I
know you are the grandson
to any Thatha,
I am not forgetting
old king Ugrasena who never any time with you,
So Little grandson , this
Raja Thatha is applying
for the post of your grandpa,
Old though I am , I too can churn the curd and give you
fresh butter,
I would
memerise you like any Thatha with stories great and make you sleep,
I can take
you for a walk
around my town to nearby parks,
Though I am little deaf , I am sure I would enjoy your music great ,
I would never
chide or beat you
for any mischievous deed,
Oh little one , can’t
you consider me for the post of Thatha ,
As you need never
have to spend on me for anything ,
And by the time your lover lasses grow up , this Thatha would
retire from that post..
