Poem for Jun 02



Radha-Govinda


Radha-Govinda reciprocate with me.
Radha-Govinda, I consider that You
are mine, but You don’t
belong to me. You are
independent, svarat. You
allow me to worship You;
You are the worshipable,
and I am the worshiper.
As Prahlad said to Nrsimhadeva,
“I am Your servant.
That is our relationship.”
So You and I are
like that. I come
to You begging to see
You as the Supreme Lord and
His eternal consort. I look
to see You in that way,
not as “my Deities.” You
are very close to me
as my Lords, and I am
Your tiny loving pujari.
Please stay with me in
the bhajana-kutir.
I am grateful we reside
together in Viraha Bhavan.
