Braj Ki Thakurain Hai Shyama - Shri Dwarkesh Ji

(Raag Bihag)
Braj Ki Thakurain Hai Shyama.
Jin Pad Kamal Dhur Ki Sewa, Yachat Kamala Rama. [1]
Tin Hit Bandhe Syam Ras Daman, Je Jag Pooran Kama.
Dharen Na Dheer Ranch In Ke Binu, Jadapi Koti Brajbama. [2]
Sakal Rasikan Bhaktan Hit, Yugal Bihar Kiyo Brajdhama.
Dvarkesh Ras Raj Kunvari Ki, Manvanchhit Abhirama. [3]

- Shri Dwarkesh Ji

The Queen of Braj, the very governing deity of Braj, is Shri Shyama Ju (Radharani), revered above all, with even Goddess Lakshmi aspiring to serve the sacred dust of her lotus feet. [1]

Bound by the love ties of Shri Radharani's nectar-filled embrace, even the fully satisfied Shri Krishna remains captivated. Despite countless gopis in Braj, Shri Krishna cannot maintain even a trace of patience without Shri Radharani. [2]

To fulfill the desires of all the Rasika devotees, Shri Radha performs ‘Vihara’ (love-play) with Shri Krishna in Braj. Shri Dwarkesh Ji says that only ever-youthful Shri Radha can fulfill all the desires of Lord Krishna, the King of Rasa (nectar). [3]
