What are death and life? From dream to dream
Will family fly? Who am i? which mind
Is seing dream , coming wandering small dream?

Union:
Your melodious sound
flood is running see
Around moon light is throwing
Floating ,floating; no tip no beginning
Everywhere silence is spread.
When and why I got into boat, don’t know
I don’t know to which side
I am floating!
In boat I am sleeping alone ,god
Without closing eyes seing
arilugala?(……………)
Some where is there will not be a bank?
At least these will there will not be friendship to me?
On any day are you not showing body?
I don’t know how and
why,will unite you and me?

Blind:
Dark: mid day summer sun present
Sweating in field! Black dark to me!
Kokila’s sound to me!
so called beauty is
only noise to me!
To my beging bowl,coins he has thrown
Sound is man’s welfare form to me!
No light,no black,,no day and night to me
Real sun rising seting
along with me!
Why they announce
human birth is very high?
Joy of animals is not there to me god!
Why eyeless man’s
birth to me god?
Having eye animal
life is better better!
…………………………end………………………
Sanyasa:
Tell can you walk on edge of sword?
Have you got strength of
falling in fire?
Tell if you can pluck(pull) your own eye!
Can you pierce your chest?
If there is that courage
become sanyasi(hermit)
Liberation will not be
beyond your control!
Safron(kaavi) is not mere cloth,but fihe!
Practice of sanyasa
is not play!
Standing on bank rather than you burning
It is better to drown
in sea and flood
Mere repentence won’t get later
Rather than baking ,better to die!
…………………………end…………………………..
Boldness(courage) of disciple:
Come guru cut off
lowness of my chest;
I pray with devotion
baked and pained.
I try to fly,no
strength in wings
Roll in dust only
tired.
Come before boldness is reached come before faith reduces,
Come before being
washed away ,come guru!
You are ocean of power; you are sea of liberation
Giving one drop relieve bondage!
At your feet,I have surrendered guru
In roll of my love tied you guru
Give hand ,lift up will con=,e guru
If I roll in dust,you come roll ,guru!
…………………………..end……………………………
Ethics teaching:
Enough leave,don’t tell ethics:”don’t fall”
Like all I can speak.
Where ever god is hiden
Have you to tell? I know it.
That world lord is seing all
Is not new,old world, I know by hearing
I know in ethics there is supreme joy
But when heart is hesitating,I can’t stand!
While missing step and fallingwill you lift well?
Can you pour a power to my chest?
If not so merely “don’t fall” you telling
I will make you to join in fallen group!
………………..end…………………
My friend(beloved) has come:
My friend has come!
Has come my friend
Today to chest forest!
In beauty and song
dancing dancing enjoying
has come to chest forest!
Has swollen from greatness!has expanded in joy
Forgetting body ,chest forest!
Will join with friend!
I will sing with him!
Will join beautiful sea!
Pressing his chest to chest
Keeping face in face
Will suck his life
His existence is my existence
Like jamuna and ganga
Like flowing united!

Small boat is drowning:
Drowning drowning little boat,gurudeva
Boundless sea is using sounding.
Dusk is covering,storm is blowing
Thundering ,lightning,thunderbolt is hitting
Roaring like lions irritated
Are rushing hiting ,strong waves;
No faith,no boldness,no strength, no challenge
Row has fallen from hand

Come and protect before waves swallow boat
Come and protect before boat hits rock
Protect before I drown and lean under sea
You protect me before I die by chest break!

universal man.
To sri basaveshwara:
You came as skylamp in
Dark of karthika,
To those who are out of path(spoiled path), as direction lamp
Before eight centuries back.
Holding fire sword,o
philosophy revolutionary valiant
god’s grace’s one hey bold incarnation
sri basaveshwara!
To sacrifice well of
of caste system
Falling ,to heat of sagrifice of vydikas
Victimized,lifting
down trodden (depressed) to
intellectual matters
To work divine principle’s
safe religious heaven
Conducted great
soul namo to you!
Even today we are not
able to rise to to your height ayyo
Being caught in sand
of caste shaking(trembling)!
Come holding hand lifting

From name of varnashrama(ashrama system) mud,

Pouring ganga of devotion
Calling power of bhagavatha
Washing caste ignorance mud
Clean by theertha (holy

“Shall I live as animal with animals ?”
(translation of poet
walt witman’s vachana poetry)
Translated to kannada:by dr.kuvempu
Retranslated to English :by dr.raveendra hosadurga.
………………………………………………………..
Shall I live like with animals as animal?to them how much
peace,
how much satisfaction!
If I stand seing,even if hous hours pass (flow)
Time is not known(made out).
For our presence they won’t
boil with pity
Won’t hit mouth,won’t struggle.
Spoiling sleep through out night won’t repent for sins.
Discussing about gods and religions won’t trouble me.
Among them no overdesire
for anything ,they don’t want to
Become owners of any
things,have not spoiled head.
Even one won’t bend knee
in front of other.
Won’t fall to leg to either which are present now,
No to those which were living centuries back.
No body have become sri sri sri;even if searched no
sorrow of jealousy
Is got.none of them
carrying medals(awards) not risen to post of honour.

Flower(puvu):
(first kuvempu’s kannada poetry)
Hey flower I listen
Your song|
Hey flower will make to fail
I your love|
While you enjoy
Taking bath in in
snow|
While coming from work
In evening all people|
In leaf kokila
While playing flute|
Tender sunlight
While washing earth|
Poet high in lands
Shining by sun|
Decorating earth
Enlighting sweetly|
By joy of flowers
While seing ,enjoying|
“enjoy” flower telling
Spoken with raga
(love)|
Gopala geetha(song)
in lonely place
speaking with love
attracting heaven|
in forest birds
friend sweetly|
mind tiring by song
calling with
satisfied mind|
clouds in joy
appearing friwnd|
to see and enjoy
while walking on land|
in morning snow
walking on green|
in fearing evening
taking breath|
hey flower will listen
myself your song|
hey flower will make you fail
I your love|

Standing beyond logical intellect!
