Sadhinchane of Thyagaraja is one of the best and thought provoking for people whoa are (Bhakthi)rasikas
****
Sadhinchane
Thyagaraja in Sadhinchene indulges in a bold 'ninda stuti' in which he accuses Him as being a cunning God who always belied his own teachings and achieved his own objective at the end.When Devaki and Vasudeva wanted Him as their son,He was born unto them but denied them the pleasure of His company.When Yasoda kissed Him as her own son,He laughed sarcastically.When the Gopis wanted union with Him, he teased them without acceding to their request.
In this kriti Thyagaraja alternates between Rama and Krishna but praises Rama as a soft-spoken hero who treated other women as His sisters.In the end he reconciles himself with the advice given by the Lord "This is the lot of all true devotees.Do not grieve,do not keep company with atheists and take the rough with the smooth"
While the above version due to its brevity and translation may not do justice to the kriti., those who can understand the sahitya in Telugu will find in the original lyrics much more deep, philsophical which narrates the divine 'romantic' nature of Lord Krishna and his ability 'to be and yet not be' in any phyical or emotional bonds with innocent gopikas or bhakthas is amazing.
