Searching the meaning of Radha-Krisna

'radheti nama nava-sundara-sidhu mugdham
krsneti nama madhuradbhuta-gadha-dugdham
sarva-ksanam surabhi-raga-himena ramyam
krtva tadaiva piba me rasane ksud-arte'

"An excellent fresh nectar drink with endless subtle tastes - Such is the name of Radha, by whom all three worlds are graced.
Condensed milk that is wonderfully delicious, thick and sweet - Such is the name of Krishna, in whom all attractions meet.
Now mix these drinks, O thirsty tongue, and add the fragrant ice Of love, a prize the wise will try to buy at any price.
And then at every moment drink this beverage most fine, And make my heart supremely blissful, peaceful, and divine."

(from Stavavali, by Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami. Poetic rendition of translation by Dravida dasa)

My eyes are thirsty for the vision (Darshan) of Lord. Have not seen the Kamal Nayan (Eyes with lotus shape of my Lord), so it remains sad day after day. (Hindi Bhajan)

Lotus feet

Lotus feet                            

A word metaphorically used to describe the feet of the Lord. 

Lotus is the symbol of  beauty and purity.

The word itself makes me want to surrender....

Hey Govind Hey Gopal

A song which I keep humming subconsciously all the while.

Hey govind, hey gopal, hey dayanidhan!

Jai Radha Madhav

Jai radha-madhav, jai kunja-vihari


Jai gopi-jana-vallabh jai giri-var-dhari

Jashoda-ranjana braja-jana-ranjana

Jamuna-tira-vana-chari


I was lucky to witness the fullness of the river Yamuna during the monsoons of 1995 during one of my numerous visits to Vrindavan. I was a teenager then and I would've listened to Samarpan innumerable times on my 'walkman' while I sat on the river bank watching the river nearly overflow. Devine is all I can say...

This song brings back all those amazing memories of that monsoon evening when I was so lost dreaming (visualising) of the Leela's that may have been witnessed by gopi's in this holy abode... sigh... wish... :)
