Whatever happened, happened for good. by: Purandardasu Raga (Tone) : panturavali; Tala:Aadi. -- Whatever happened happened for good A way to serve the God imbibed with all wealth ! To hold the carrying-stick on my shoulder $, I had bent my head with shyness, She like my better-half emerge in thousands, Who made me carry the shoulder-stick.! To stretch my hand with begging bowl, I was abashed with pride like a king , This wife like lineage come out in thousands! She made me to hold out the begging bowl! To wear a Tulasi garland, I hesitated In shyness like a crowned king , Made me wear the wreath of TuLsi He , the God Vittala of Purandara - with lotus eyes $(a stick on shoulder with weight on two ends) Tulasi : Ocimum tenuiflorum plant - warring the Garland of its leaves like an ascetic !!
