An Offering at His Feet
To Sri Krishna,
On this Janmashtami,
I bring You not flowers,
not words perfected,
but this restless mind—
the very mind You ask me to befriend.
May these thoughts,
these questions,
this seeking and this surrender
become an offering at Your feet.
You who were Arjuna’s charioteer,
be the charioteer of my mind too.
Guide it gently.
Hold it lovingly.
Turn it inward.
Until the seeker discovers
that the Guide was never elsewhere—
that the Light I was seeking
was the Light by which I was seeking.
To You, within and without,
I offer this humble conversation.
Sri Krishnaarpanamastu.
– Priya Arunachalam
