Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram,
Rama naraynam Janaki-vallabham,
(praising the Lord Krishna, with different names of Vishnu)
Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan aate nahi
Tum Meera ke jaise bulate nahi, … Achyutam …
Who says God does not come? You don’t call Him with the devotion of Meera
Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan khaate nahi,
Ber Shabri ke jaise khilate nahi, … Achyutam …
Who says God does not eat? You don’t feed him like how Shabari fed him
Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan Sote nahi,
Maa Yashoda ke jaise sulate nahin, … Achyutam …
Who says God does not sleep? You don’t make him sleep like how Mother Yashoda did
Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan naachte nahi,
Tum Gopi ke jaise nachaate nahin, Achyutam…
Who says God does not dance? You don’t make him dance like how Gopis did

About this Bhajan
This wonderful bhajan is so simple and yet conveys such a beautiful message. We often expect the Lord to come running at our beck and call, but how often do we show Him the same unconditional love He shows us? If we show and live with the kind of love shown by these saints, surely we will see only His love any every word, every thought and every action. Their love did not ask for anything in return, but was simply expressed for what it was – whether it was the devotion of Meerabai, or the dance of the Gopis, this love was so intense that nothing else could possibly remain besides this love, and all other desires and impressions were eliminated. Through just their bhakti, they became one with Him.
