While demi-god worship is not for the pure Krishna devotees, the whole world is going after worshipping demi-gods and they even mutilate the puranas saying that Sri Radha and Krishna are second! This is now happening even in Vrindavan temples for attracting common crowd and making money by the pandas!
Once upon a time, there was a race in the heaven
For that great race, all gods came to run
Whoever flew around universe and returned first
Would be worshipped as the demi-god of first! … (Once)
Wanting to be the top, and be worshipped first
Greedy demi-gods ran the race with their fist
All the 33 crores, lined to race not for fun
Indra, head of the gods, even joined to run!
Chandra vayu agni, varuna ganesha mitra
Surya kartik kubera, sakra vasus rutra
Every one with vimanas, flew over the clouds
Heaven was full of roar, shaking all the worlds .. (Once)
Ganesha on his rat, not even able to sit
Tried to run the race, but could not move a bit
Greedy to be first but, couldn’t go a feet
Ran on leg with belly, thinking of any trick!
Looking for any trick, Narada came on the way
Ganesha asked the muni, was there any way
Narada told Ganesh, chant the rama nam
Means flying around, three times the universe! .. (Once)
Ganesh won the race, with Narada’s trick
Defeated all the gods, got the worship first
Kartik too wanted, to be the first god
But failed to do any trick like his own brother!
Every heavenly god, greedy for the name
Every heavenly god, greedy for the fame
Why should the mighty god, fight for His glory
Why should he even run, any race in fury .. (Once)
Krishna became a driver, to his dear friend
Washed the legs of guests, others feel offend
Krishna even carried, Draupadi’s foot wear
Worshipped the foot dust, of His gopis dear
Did the Lord ever, hanker for any honor?
Did the Lord ever, hanker for any fame?
Did the Lord run, any race to be first?
Do you see the real, fact of real God?
Hare krsna hare krsna, krsna krsna hare hare
Hare rama hare rama, rama rama hare hare!
