At Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, our gracious host Kristjaan has shared with us a wonderful story about Lord Krishna and his devotee ,Uttanga. If you are interested in reading the story please visit this url http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.in/2014/05/carpe-diem-472-worship-hindu-mythology.html#comment-form
The challenge is to write a Haiku, senryu, tanka, kyoka or haibun inspiured by this story. I chose a tanka (5-7-5-7-7) and managed to write two.Hope you will enjoy reading them:-)

Krishna plays his flute
the message of love comes
floating in the wind
equality,compassion
therein lies true devotion.
Like Uttanga don’t
let appearances fool you
Krishna’s blessings are
reserved for the pure of heart
those who can love one and all.

Both of your tankas ring true, Atreyee, and are lovely reflections of Krishna.
Thank you Gina-I found it tough to remain within the syllable count 😛
It’s fun to work the creative muscle, isn’t it?
😀 When it works and doesn’t start screaming murder that is 😉
True!

Beautifully expressed. Here striving hard to be pure of heart. 🙂
