#SeeingRadha #KrishnaGlorifies #Radharani
One day in Goloka Vrindavana,
Shyama sat alone under the shade of a beautiful flowering kadamba tree that was
filling the entire forest with a sweet fragrance reminiscent of Radharani.
Becoming absorbed in vivid memories of His sweet beloved, Krishna spontaneously
began glorifying Radha with the choicest words full of love.
Brilliant green parrots gathered
in the branches, curious innocent deer collected nearby, and swans floated in
the peaceful waters of the Yamuna. All were stunned in bliss and spellbound in
amazement to hear what Shyam was saying.
Contemplating within Himself,
–vichar –antare 238,
Krishna said:
cin-maya –purna -tattva,
radhika –prem –unmatta
“I am full of spiritual
truth, but Radhika’s love makes me mad. 122
na –jani –radha –prema –bal,
kare -sarvada -vihval
What is that power of Radha’s
love by which Radha always overwhelms Me? 123
Everywhere, everyone says I
am the adi-guru, jagat-guru, spiritual master of the universe. But now I know
the real truth is this:
radhika –prem –guru, ami
–shishya –nat
ama –nana –nrtye, nachaya
-udbhat
“Radhika’s prem is the Guru. I am Her dancing
disciple. Radha’s sweet love always makes Me dance in wonderful ways 124.
radha –prem –vibhu,
kshane –kshane –baday –sadai
“Although Radha’s love is
all-pervading, it increases at every second.” 128
While Shyam was praising His
beloved Priya, He suddenly remembered Her divine form and how Radhika’s rupa,
gandha, shabdha, rasa, sparsha and vritti completely attract and captivate all
His senses of seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting, touching and thinking.
Krishna continues speaking:
“Ten million Cupids are conquered by My matchless, unsurpassed sweet beauty.
But My eyes find the greatest happiness in seeing Radha. 242-3
vamshi –gitakarshay –tri
-bhuvan
radha –vacane –hare -shravan
My flute song attracts the
three worlds. But Radha’s voice fully enchants My ears. 244
amara
–gandha –jagat –sugandha.
chitta
–prana –hara, radha –anga –gandha
The fragrance of My body fills the universe with sweet aromas. But the naturally
sweet scent of Sriji’s limbs fully enthralls My mind and heart. 245
amara
–rasa -jagat -sarasa
radhara
–adhara –ras –kar –vasha
Although
My rasas fill the world with sweetness, I am totally controlled and subjugated
by the sweet taste of Radha’s lips. 246
amara –sparsha –kotindu
-shital
radhika –sparsha –amasushital
Although My touch is cooler
than ten million moons, I am completely refreshed by the cooling caress of
Kishori. 247
jagat -sukha –hetu, radha –
rupa -jivatu
Although I am the cause of
happiness in the world, Radhika’s sweet beauty is My life and sou. 248
anya –sanga –yata –sukha
–pai, radha -sukha –shata -adhikai
I get a hundred times more
happiness from meeting Radha than from anyone else.” 258
Somehow by divine
arrangement, that very Queen of Shyam’s heart suddenly appeared at that lonely
spot beside the Yamuna. Seizing the opportunity to flatter the cherished
treasure of His heart, Gopinatha said:
“O Devi! Your divinely
attractive body is the source of all beauty.
O Sulochana, Your radiant
cherry-red lips are softer than the sense of immortal sweetness.
O Pranapriya! The effulgent
orb of Your perfectly shaped face bears the aroma of a lotus.
O Radha! Your heart-touching,
honey sweet words silence the soothing warbling of the cuckoo.
O Sriji! Your shapely golden
limbs are cooler than sandalwood.
Actually, O Shyamaa! Each and
every one of My senses floods with bliss whenever I am with You, who are the
abode of the most attractive and sensational qualities.”
Jai Jai Sri
Radheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
