  1. Papinako Sang Chhandi Jatan Kar - Shri Yugal Priya

    With great effort, one should abandon the association of sinful souls who are turned away from the Lord (bhagavad-vimukha), because their words pierce the heart like sharp arrows. One should remain extremely cautious, even of accidentally meeting, seeing, or touching them, because such association (asat-saṅga) inevitably becomes a great obstacle on the path to attaining the Lord.

  2. Jayau Bhaundi Bhed Kau Kinaun - Shri Biharin Dev Ji Ki Vani, Siddhant Ki Saakhi (576)

    Even if a lamb longs to become a lion, desire alone can never make it one. A true lion breaks down every fence that surrounds it. How can one who remains entangled in numerous religious formalities, ritual observances, scriptural injunctions and prohibitions, sectarian identity, or other external bonds ever be compared to those exclusive rasikas whose resolve is as firm as that of a lion? A true rasika is one who has broken every other bond and established an exclusive relationship with Śrī Priyā-Priyatama alone.

  3. Piya Ko Man Pyari Priya - Braj Ke Dohe

    Śrī Rādhā is the sovereign of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s heart, and Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the sovereign of Śrī Rādhā’s heart. They eternally reside within one another’s hearts. Because of this perfect oneness of love, they wear garments that resemble each other’s complexion, i.e., Śrī Rādhā wears blue garments, while Śrī Kṛṣṇa wears yellow garments, and they move together with the same graceful gait.

  4. Jab Parase Pyari-Charan - Shri Suradas, Sur Sagar (3446.36)

    When Nanda's son Śrī Kṛṣṇa, filled with supreme love, bowed down at the lotus feet of Pyarī Jū (Śrī Rādhā) and touched those lotus feet, Priyā Jī’s loving mana (sulk) was appeased, and She became pleased. Thus, all the sorrow and anguish of separation were completely dispelled.

  5. Heliri Tain Lakhe Aaju Ke Khyal - Shri Hati Ji, Radha Sudha Shatak (34)

    O sakhī! Did you behold the astonishing and charming pastimes of Priyā-Priyatama today? My words are insufficient to describe such a delightful sight. Our beloved Śrī Rādhā adorned Her head with a peacock feather, held a flute and cowherd’s staff in Her hands, and wore a yellow garment around Her waist. Thus, She assumed the appearance of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

  6. Vande Shri Vrindavan Dham - Shri Manohar Das, Rasik Jeevani (4)

    I offer my repeated salutations unto the supremely sacred Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma, where attaining even the position of a tiny blade of grass is extremely rare for divine beings such as Lord Brahmā. Yet this divine abode is ever eager to grant supreme support and shelter to insignificant souls like ourselves.
