Nimai of Nabadwip

Patit Pavana das Adhikary (Patit Uddharana das)

RADHA AND KRISHNA IN THE SPIRITUAL SKY

Beyond his world of birth and death is found another land;
Where Krishna, the Eternal Lord, holds Radharani’s hand.

Eternal lovers share a bliss that’s never touched by time.
The Sovereign Godhead and His Consort, passion shared sublime.

Lord Krishna lets His flute notes trill to charm this cowherd maid,
Woodlands dance in euphony while rivulets cascade.

Most favoured of the cowherd damsels is Shri Radha fair,
Her skin is bright as molten gold and raven is Her hair.

Shri Radha’s love for Krishna contrasts courtship of these haunts,
Where sinful schemes and lusty dreams are stirred by selfish wants.

Lord Krishna’s love for Radha is like nothing of this world.
No man can comprehend how much He loves this cowherd girl.

Now poised, She hovers at His feet to tender flowers there.
Shri Radha gives undying love, devotion is her prayer.

He gazes into Radha’s eyes, to please Him She desires,
While in His noble heart a hundred questions She inspires.

“Shri Radha is perfection of devotion unto Me.
Which soul-surrendered servant has a heart as soft as She?

When I am not beside My love, Her heart is filled with dread.
She feels each moment as twelve years, a path of anguish tread.

I wonder why She worships Me, what qualities have I;
That union with Myself alone will Radha satisfy?

Which attribute enchants Her when She looks upon My face;
Or hears My mellow flute notes calling from a distant place?

I yearn to sweetly savour love She’s harbouring for Me,
Her mood of love I’d need adopt those qualities to see.

Can I begin to comprehend these feelings in Her heart?
My Own devotee I would be to understand Her part!”

Thus Krishna puzzled over Radharani’s loving grace.
And wondered what She felt within when lost in His embrace!
