|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||









Radharani who was relieved from the sufferings and weariness took complete control over her husband Madhava, they repeatedly immersed in the passionate sport, in this way Radharani respectfully served Govinda and made him extremely happy. “ Oh!  Yadhunandhana/illustrious child born in the clan of Yadhu,  Oh! Nandhanandha/dearest child of Nandha, Oh! Bhakthachandana/highly fragrant sandal paste adorn by the passionate devotees, kindly enjoy the amorous sport at your heart content, kindly smear that cool fragrant sandal paste on my large and high raised bosom with your lotus hand which is highly auspicious.  Oh! Yadhunandhana, kindly apply those fresh eyeliners on my eyes that would excel the beauty of swam of honey bees, so that my eyes will get relieved from the clutches of Rathinayaka/Kamadheva,  Oh! Yadhunandhana,  Oh! Subaga, who is attired in marvelous yellow garments and magnificent earrings, which brighten the path of entire Rasamandala and my eyes resemble antelope swell in awe and refuses to withdraw, that would chain my heart.  Oh! Yadhunandhana, untainted braids of my curly hair locks resemble to swarm of honey bees that take immense pleasure in the honey from the lotus flower, kindly decorate them that would excel the beauty of lotus flower for your pastime.  Oh! Yadhunandhana, Oh! Kamalanana, kindly decorate my forehead with the musk that was washed off in perspiration, it would add the luster of my forehead and remove the stain on my forehead.  Oh! Yadhunandhana, my long plight of curly hair locks are the Chamara of the flag of Manasija/Lord of Love, kindly decorate them with the fresh alluring flowers of yellow jasmine on my curly hair locks, Oh! Yadhunandhana, Oh! Beautiful one, you are the cause of my delight, you are the symbol of amusement, kindly decorate me with the finest garments and ornaments with your auspicious hands.” The above are the glorious verse of Sri Jayadeva which provides perpetual bliss, it is constructed for the constant remembrance of nectar-like lotus feet of Lord Hari, capable to eradicate the impurities of Kali era, kindly remove our impurities as well.  Radha delightfully spoke “ Oh! Peethambara/who is attired in majestic yellow garments, kindly decorate me with finest garments, smear colors on my cheeks, arrange the garlands on my braid of hair, rearrange those bangles on my hands and anklets on my feet.” Lord Krishna speaks “ Oh! Sundari,  I have attained you from the milky ocean, while Mrida/Lord Shiva consumed the venomous poison” in this way, they conversed about the previous incidents. 



Vibhu/ Lord Vishnu reclines on the king of the serpent, his face spreads immense luster from the sheen of thousands of hoods of Anantha who takes pleasure in the reflections of lotus face of Hari.   Goddess Bhudhevi/Dharithri and Goddess Mahalakshmi/Varidhi Sutha at the lotus feet of Hari, constantly engaged in the service of Lord Hari, there are hundreds of deities, Rishis, and sages desirous to witness the glorious form of Hari who has various incarnations, May Lord Hari protects us all!



Sri Gita Govinda is sacred stream of nectar composed by the poet Sri Jayadeva who is completely immersed in the union of Paramathma and Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi skillfully depicts the passionate sport of divine celestial couple for the meditation of Vaishnava/fervent devotees of Lord Vishnu, which is the essence of wisdom and virtues, described as passionate sport of Hari.  The poet Jayadeva describes the intoxicating grapevine or sugar or milk, does not have the real sweetness of the amorous sport of Hari.  The above are the glorious verses describes the amorous sport of Lord Purushoththama with Radha held on the river banks of the Yamuna,  these sacred verses of Gita Govindham was composed by the son of Bhojadeva and Vamadevi, it is highly revered poetry recited by the illustrious  Parashara.
