Today, not only India, the whole world is celebrating the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna. Janmashtami is being celebrated for two days in India. All the temples including Krishna temples are decorated. The devotees of Krishna are engaged in pacifying their presiding deity by fasting and offering prayers. Poet and teacher Dr. Praveen Shukla is remembering Dwarkadhish in his own unique way. While the devotees of Krishna are pleading for him to come again, Praveen Shukla through his poem is pleading with Krishna not to come on earth. Presenting his famous Hindi poem-
times have changed
Dear Kanha, do not come to earth, the times have changed
If you come, you will have to repent, the world has changed now
Thief-cop, hide and seek, Banwari ji is no more
Today video games have become heavy on all games.
There is no tuber fruit here, now there is burger pizza
This is the result of the children themselves becoming football
Don’t feed them Mathura trees, times have changed now
Giving only coke and pepsi, times have changed now.
There is a strange helplessness in the pot of curd
Sapreta’s buttermilk will be available, she is loved by all.
Instead of Nandan Van, picnic spot has now become here.
There, Sudama, you will find coats made of paint
May it not happen that he kills you, taunts you, the world has changed now
Say, I didn’t recognize you, the world has changed now.
Where is the real butter these days, there is confusion, Mr.
You will get Nakhli butter in the fridge, now Banwari ji,
Gandhi cap is on everyone’s head instead of peacock crown
Gopi roams here wearing jeans and T-shirt
Don’t go near them at all, times have changed
Otherwise you will have to see the police station, the world has changed now.
Don’t know where the cows wander now
You will find friendship with dogs while doing Gwal-wal
You will not find my Vanshi tune anywhere on the banks of the Yamuna
Film songs will be found there, Tu Meri Main Teri Sun
Don’t tell them to Radha, times have changed now
In return, he doesn’t sing a song, the times have changed.
Gopis go swimming in the pools of dry Braj
She often gets coloring of dark colored hairs,
Today Radhika calls Mohan on mobile all day
If the request is not fulfilled, she files a case
No excuse will work in front of the judge, times have changed now
Nothing remains the same now, times have changed.
Dear Kanha, do not come to earth, the times have changed
If you come, you will have to repent, the world has changed now.
