In our Kids Bhagavatam session today, we discussed SB 1.6.11-19. Kids traveled along with Narada to towns, metropolises, villages, flower gardens. To understand the meaning of “bhava” stage Narada muni was in, they learnt “Nine stages of Bhakti” through a short sing able/poem.
Narada though elated upon seeing the Lord’s form in the first attempt, becomes despondent when the form is lost and frustrated when he couldn’t get to see it again.
Kids learnt the following poem, which encapsulates the essence of 1.6.18-19 verses and purports.
Title: Lord’s transcendental form
So many forms, I have seen, in this world, but none of them gave me satisfaction
O my lord, I was looking for you, in all these forms!!!
Upon losing the beautiful form, Narada becomes aggrieved and despondent
[For] The Lord can be seen only by His mercy, just as the sun rises at its will
Let me serve the Lord sincerely, totally depending, on His causeless mercy.
Let me serve the Lord sincerely, totally depending, on His causeless mercy.
