Poem for Mar 14



Radha-Govinda

Radha-Govinda, You are the centerpiece
arca-avatar on the altar.
I have been writing poems
to Radha-Govinda, but since
I have gathered an entourage
of Deities in one place, the
other arcas deserve equal
attention. I have Prabhupada murti,
Lord Caitanya and Laksmi-Nrsimha.
They are all worshiped
in one concentrated location. Nevertheless,
I call the poems “to Radha-Govinda”
and address Them as
my ishta-devata
(my favorite forms).
They are all simultaneously
and inconceivably one
and different.
I am grateful They reside
with me in Viraha Bhavan.
