Poem for Jul 18



Radha-Govinda


Radha-Govinda reciprocate with me.
Radha-Govinda, You save me from
bad dreams: You give me protection.
I wake up unscathed and I come
to your lotus feet
in adoration. The
demons had mentally
shaken me, but You
spared me
from bodily harm.
Prabhupada has said we should
never be afraid.
We should be like
Socrates who willingly took
hemlock because he
believed in the immortality of
the soul. You, Radha-Govinda,
are immortal; You
are acyuta and You never fall down.
As Your fixed servant, I am
acyuta das, I
am invincible
in Your service.
I am grateful You reside with me
in Viraha Bhavan.
