They said . . . 
. . .  we’ve made a ship that will never sink.
But it was just a great hype . . . 
‘coz the ship sank within a blink!
 
. . .  man has gone to the moon and can live there soon.
But it is just a great hype . . . 
all these years and its still not true!
 
They say . . . 
 . . .  eating meat and fish is a good health fad.
But it is just a great hype . . . 
. . . . they don’t tell you it’s for the soul bad!
 
. . .  white hair can be colored black and wrinkles repaired..
But it is just a great hype . . . 
. . .  as old age has yet no one spared!
 
. . .  live life king size as “yeh dil mange more”
But it is just a great hype . . . 
. . . . as discontent is always on the fore!
 
. . .  love makes the world go round and is the ultimate.
But it is just a great hype . . . 
. . . . since it is senses and not love that seals the fate!
 
. . .  sense gratification should be the goal of life and money 
is sweeter than honey.
But it is just a great hype . . . 
. . .  as it does not make us eternally happy—now that’s funny!
 
. . .  we are this body, forget the soul..
But it is just a great hype . . .  
. . .  scriptures say this body is just a covering for the soul!
 
So, my friends wake up to reality, break free from all these hypes.
Krishna consciousness and spirituality can solve problems of all types!
Guru and shastras say Krishna’s dhama is real and that there is life after you die.
This is definitely not any hype . . .  so, why not give Krishna consciousness a try?
