Poem for Jul 29



Radha-Govinda


Radha-Govinda reciprocate with me.
Radha-Govinda, Damodara Rati took
Your darsana and said she was
charmed by Your “summer
dress.” Whoever sees
You in these pure,
pale outfits with
red flower borders
thinks of summertime and
You in that season. It
is now the beginning
of August and the peak
of summer. Damodara Rati
was touched by Your
appearance in the creamy
sunny dress. In a few days
she will change You
into a new outfit that will
not be as summery as
the yellow dress. The next
outfit will be red and blue;
not as torrid as
Radha-Krishna on the
sunshiny beach, but sizzling
with Their refreshing beauty.
It will be light for August,
but a little cooler
than at present.
I am grateful
Radha-Govinda
reside with me in Viraha Bhavan.
