Devotional Poems
'Devotional Poems' are a collection of 105 devotional lyrics written in simple, effortless, direct and easy to absorb language, spoken mostly by the villagers residing in the Awadhi-speaking belt of Northern India. These Padas (or the lyrics written in Kavitta Chhand) are the spontaneous outpourings of a devotee's heart meant only to be listened to by his Lord in rapt attention and complete silence. These Padas are not meant to be read aloud like a Petition in a King's Court; rather they are supposed to be studied in profound silence and silent profundity by the King Himself in his retiring room where there is nobody to disturb his peace of mind and privacy of place. The content of these Padas is extremely personal, confidential, private and exclusive.
