Ananta Purusottama das: The purest love in this world is from a mother<\/p>\n
Something which cannot be done any other<\/p>\n
Since our birth they just selflessly serve <\/p>\n
We can\u2019t repay, only love we can preserve<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Such a patient mother, her sons testified<\/p>\n
Patiently waiting, always by their side<\/p>\n
Correcting with love, never with fear<\/p>\n
That is no doubt what made her so dear<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Amekhala cared so much for others<\/p>\n
Acting like one of our seven mothers<\/p>\n
She loved to love, never one to hate<\/p>\n
Another wonderful motherly trait<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The devotee community was her mission<\/p>\n
It seems that she had quite a big vision<\/p>\n
Like Prabhupada, build a house for all to live<\/p>\n
Trying to help us, always able to give<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For me, I always liked to take her advice<\/p>\n
She made sense, experience made it precise<\/p>\n
It was easy to listen, as you know she cared<\/p>\n
That\u2019s an experience I think we all shared<\/p>\n
She was certainly brave, that we all know<\/p>\n
Nothing to lose, so why not give it a go<\/p>\n
Others may have left it, not too bothered<\/p>\n
But for her it mattered, had to be covered<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She never wanted anything in return<\/p>\n
Tirelessly giving, so much energy to burn<\/p>\n
Most would give up before even starting<\/p>\n
So keen to help, her own needs departing<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread<\/p>\n
She was no fool, but still went ahead<\/p>\n
What had to be said, she was so strong<\/p>\n
Trying to put right what she saw was wrong<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Still, when she said what she had to say<\/p>\n
It was with love, as that was her way<\/p>\n
Only wanting the best for us all<\/p>\n
At any risk, that was her call<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When she saw injustice, she would speak out<\/p>\n
She certainly never had any doubt<\/p>\n
Swamis or gurus, didn\u2019t matter who<\/p>\n
Never backed down, convinced it was true<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She served so many, duty beyond the norm<\/p>\n
Not content to sit there, she wanted reform<\/p>\n
She had a strong desire to give her life<\/p>\n
A calling I think, to end all the strife<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Srutakirti told us how she served him so well<\/p>\n
Massaging his feet, I\u2019m sure they didn\u2019t smell<\/p>\n
Sounds like a devoted wife, so willing<\/p>\n
Happiness found at last, life fulfilling<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After all she did for others in her life<\/p>\n
As well as being such a wonderful wife<\/p>\n
We wonder why she suffered at the end<\/p>\n
Krsna knows, she saw Him as her best friend<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Such a good example for all to follow<\/p>\n
Tolerating pain, her mood deep, not shallow<\/p>\n
That was her conviction, never afraid<\/p>\n
Such a great devotee it certainly made<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tat te nu kampam, the devotees guide<\/p>\n
This means Krsna was right by her side<\/p>\n
She was so happy knowing this truth<\/p>\n
Sheltered now by that eternal youth<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Last year, when I saw her laying there, so calm<\/p>\n
Still managed to greet us with her usual charm<\/p>\n
So resolved to whatever Krsna\u2019s plan will be<\/p>\n
So, from this world she was soon to be free<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Such dignity she showed us, and how to cope<\/p>\n
Makes you see we should never give up hope<\/p>\n
She said Krsna loves her, she felt relevance<\/p>\n
Something to remember with some reverence<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So many loving friends came near the end<\/p>\n
That\u2019s Krsna\u2019s mercy, He is the best friend<\/p>\n
Like all devotees at the time of passing<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all arranged, surrounded by chanting<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Vaisnavas never die, said a great Thakur<\/p>\n
We see that, in memory, that\u2019s for sure<\/p>\n
Something to learn, forever to keep<\/p>\n
How can we forget, something so deep<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Amekhala has gone to where she belongs<\/p>\n
A place with the Lord, every word is a song<\/p>\n
Earned by her love and sincere desire<\/p>\n
