Radha Kunda Prasada

What is Radha-kunda prasada and how can one receive it? In his astakam to Sri Radha-kunda, Sri Kundashrayi Sri Raghunatha Dasa Goswamipada describes how Sri Krishna Himself personally bathes in and serves Radha-kunda in hopes of attaining a merciful loving glance from His dearest Srimati.

It’s understandable how Sri Kunda, being non-different from Srimati Radharani, is kind and merciful to Sri Krishna who is Radha’s beloved sweetheart. But what about the average foolish person attached to materialistic life? Will Radha-kunda give mercy to such an unfortunate person?

“YES!” proclaims Dasa Goswamipada in verse 4 of his Sri Radha-kundastakam:
“Any person, even if they are unqualified and unscrupulous (api jana kashchit), if he/she serves Sri Radha-kunda [i.e. by arati, bathing, circling, glorifying, living, seeing, sweeping or touching], then by the mercy of the very beautiful and fragrant Radha-kunda, the desire vine of love (pranaya suralata) for Krishna, manifesting the flowers of service to my Ishvari Radha [i.e. radha-dasya in manjari-bhava] will surely and suddenly appear in one’s heart (sapadi kila mad isha dasya pushpa prashasya)!”
Karunamayi Sri Radha Kunda krpa ki jai!
Jaya Jaya Sri Radhe!
