Poem for Jun 24



Radha-Govinda


Radha-Govinda, I take saksad darsana
of Your arca-vigraha, which
is nondifferent from Your
personal service in Goloka Vrindavana.
I don’t have full
realization of this truth,
but I have sraddha
and nishta, firm faith.
I do not see You as
material statues.
Radha is Radha,
and Krishna is Govinda,
standing close together in the kunja.
You are dressed
and ornamented as the
King and Queen of Vraja.
I can see You this way
by the mercy
of Srila Prabhupada.
I am grateful Radha-Govinda
reside with me in Viraha Bhavan.
