Poem for Apr 04



Radha-Govinda


Radha-Govinda reciprocate with me.
Radha-Govinda, today
Baladeva polished Lord Caitanya
with a soft, clear paintbrush.
Dust came off His head, and
His hair is now shiny black and
His limbs are clear.
Radha-Govinda could use a bath
and a change of clothes.
Two ladies are coming
from England in a few days,
and they will do the honors.
Lord Nrsimhadeva gets
polished every day. The Deity
standard is not the highest,
but They look happy
and transcendental.
They are my ishta-deva,
and They deserve the best.
I am grateful They reside
with me at Viraha Bhavan.
