Poem for Jul 17



Radha-Govinda


Radha-Govinda reciprocate with me.
Radha-Govinda, You are the ultimate
King and Queen of all the worlds.
By Govinda’s expansion as
Maha Visnu, all the universes
come out from His body
in one exhalation, and all
the universes withdraw
by His one inhalation. All
the countless consorts
of the Supreme Lord
in the spiritual worlds
are expanded from
His one dearmost –
Srimate Radharani.
In Goloka Vrindavana, in Their original
humanlike forms, They play intimately
without the pomp of the energetic
sakti of the expanded forms. They
prefer competitive water sports
in Radha-kunda and confidential
amorous pastimes in the
caves of Govardhana. Their
most intimate confidantes,
the gopis manjaris,
prefer Them in this way.
I am grateful Radha-Govinda
reside with me in Viraha Bhavan.
