Translation -
My heart does not want to
Build this house, O Kishori!
My prāna does not want to be attached
To this house anymore, O Kishori!
Let us go do Fakiri!
In the corners of the eyes of Sāi-ji,
In the garden of flowers,
There are many Kāmini flowers in bloom.
The lover who is living dead, and like a bee,
Secretly drank the nectar of the flowers, O Kishori!
In the void at the confluence of the three sacred rivers,
One has built a house,
Which has an allegorical roof on it.
In the house, in the form of a peacock,
Hides the Allah in the form of sacred letters of the Arabic alphabet,
And through the Zikir of the sincerer heart
The prayer is established.
In the ocean of the feminine,
There is one sunray decorating that sea,
Inside of this, there is a market of love!
Māmun Nodiā says, “OSakhi, let us go into the deep waters,
Let us do the transaction of eternal contentment,
And pure love in that market, O Kishori!”

About Ekathara Kalari
Ekathara Kalari has been founded by Parvathy Baul and Sri Ravi Gopalan Nair.
It is a space for sadhakas from the traditional knowledge streams of art, spirituality, theatre, puppetry, music and healing.
It merges the concepts of the ‘Akhara’, a space for Baul practitioners from the Bengali tradition, and the ‘Kalari’, the traditional Kerala theatre practice space.
This channel is a space to share works, conversations and knowledge in the form of a video and audio archive from practitioners of spirituality, art creation and holistic healing traditions from India and across the world, with emphasis on the Baul tradition. Works published through this channel would be essentially projects undertaken by Ekathara Kalari.
