Radha-Govinda reciprocate with me.
Radha-Govinda, You are the Supreme worshipable
Bhagavan, and the spiritual master is the supreme
worshiping Bhagavan. The Upanishads
state that to the one who has absolute faith
in both the Supreme Personality of Godhead
and the spiritual master, all the
truths of the Vedas are revealed.
Srila Prabhupada brought You out of
India to America in 1966.
He taught us You are not
statues made of brass or marble.
Your arca-vigraha spiritual forms
are non-different from Your original forms
as the Divine Couple descended from Goloka
Vrindavana. Prabhupada personally showed us
– in simple methods at first –
how to install You, clean You,
dress You and feed You.
And how to offer darsana
and chant with all the devotees
gathered in the Temple or at home
singing Your names and glories.
Prabhupada disappeared from our mortal vision
approximately fifty years ago, but
followers still follow his vani
and carry out all the Deity worship,
just as he inspired and taught us.
It is not a burden but a joy
to carry out his orders
for worshiping You, Radha-Krishna.
I am grateful Radha-Govinda
reside with me in Viraha Bhavan.
