A poem in Samskritam composed by one of our kāryakartā-s on the successful occasion of Chandrayaan-3 Mission 👇.

This kāryakartā (kk) probably came in contact with Samskrita Bharati (USA) about 15-16 years ago just when Chandrayaan-1 was being put together. In a sense, his 'Samskritam Journey' has seen the same type of growth as that of Chandrayaan.

रचन: अन्नमाचार्य

कूर्पु: श्री अन्नमाचार्युलवारु
रागं: यमुना कल्याणि
तालं: आदि

भावयामि गोपालबालं मन-
स्सेवितं तत्पदं चिन्तयेहं सदा ॥

कटि घटित मेखला खचितमणि घण्टिका-
पटल निनदेन विभ्राजमानम् ।
कुटिल पद घटित सङ्कुल शिञ्जितेनतं
चटुल नटना समुज्ज्वल विलासम् ॥

निरतकर कलित नवनीतं ब्रह्मादि
सुर निकर भावना शोभित पदम् ।
तिरुवेङ्कटाचल स्थितम् अनुपमं हरिं
परम पुरुषं गोपालबालम् ॥

Meaning

I meditate upon the Little Gopala, Who is served by my mind. I always meditate on those feet.

I meditate upon the Little Gopala, Who is glittering forth due to immense rhyming sound coming from jewel and bell studded waist girdle, and Who is shining forth trembling dances adorned by the sound of feet running in curved trajectories.

I meditate upon the Little Gopala, Who is engrossed in the beautiful new butter-ball in His hand, Whose feet are adorned by the various devoted emotions of Brahma and demi-gods, Who is situated at the mountain of Tirupati as Venkat, Who is without a comparison, Who is Hari, and Who is the best person.
