I worship the divine love of Śrī Rādhā and Śrī Hari. Their bodies and minds have merged to become one, saturated with the colors of various līlā-rasas, just as a rāga and rāginī blend harmoniously into one.
All glories to Śrī Rādhikā-Ramaṇa! The eternally youthful Kiśorī, Śrī Rādhikā Mahārāṇī, bestows Her intimate maidservant-bhāva upon those who reside in Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma and grants them the boundless nectar of divine love.
Where could I possibly go, leaving this sacred realm of Vṛndāvana? For a fallen and lowly soul like me, there is no refuge other than the lotus feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
The vow of ‘Ananyta’ (exclusive devotion) is as subtle and sharp as the edge of a sword. If the mind wavers here and there and slips into worldly attachments, even though Hari is the well-wisher of all, He does not uphold such wavering devotion.
O divine couple, Shri Radhavallabh! You alone are my true well-wisher. All worldly relationships last only as long as they serve their own self-interest.
Let your mind be lovingly immersed in Vrindavan. After satisfying worldly desires—eating, drinking, wandering, and enjoying—now receive life’s true fruit.
The ever-new glories of the divine couple, Shri Radhavallabh, are beyond all description. Even the greatest poets of Bharat do not tire of describing the nectar of their divine love.
I am the beloved servant of the divine couple, Shri Radhavallabh Ji. The mere utterance or hearing of the name “Radhavallabh” elevates my heart beyond all restraints and observances.
The beauty of the fair lotus feet of Shri Radhika is unparalleled, are so enchanting that Shyamsundar himself, enslaved by deepest love, holds them tenderly in His hands and places them in his heart.
Now I am completely absorbed in chanting Radha's name. Despite my search throughout the sacred land of Vrindavan, I could not catch a glimpse of Nand’s mischievous darling, Shri Shyamsundar.
Our caste is that of the ‘Rasika Ananya’ (exclusive connoisseurs of divine love). Our Kuldevi (family deity) is Shri Radha, our homeland is Barsana, and our community is among the residents of Braj.
Shri Swami Haridas Ji is the supreme emperor among all transcendental lovers. Except for his devotion to Shri Kunj Bihari Biharini in the secluded bowers of Vrindavan, he neither glanced elsewhere nor voiced expectations from anyone, regardless of who they might be.
O mind, follow the path to Vrindavan. You belong to no one here, and no one belongs to you. Abandon the worldly attachments and illusions, and flee.
Recognize those as ‘Ananya Rasikas’ (exclusive connoisseurs of love) alone who have no worldly desires and possess unwavering love for Sri Hari; they are the true saints.
'Ananya Rasikas' (exclusive connoisseurs) care about no one else. They carry a blanket on their shoulder and a pitcher in hand, always harboring the singular hope in Shri Kunj Bihari.
The seeker of divine love should yearn exclusively for the attainment of the worshipful deity (Shri Radha Krishna) to whom they are devoted. Devotion should be singularly focused on chanting the glories of the name, form, pastimes, and attributes of them.
O naughty mind, you have now wisely found solace at the lotus feet of Shri Hari, leading to the attainment of eternal happiness. In your past worldly life, you roamed from one dwelling to another in pursuit of happiness, yet sorrow greeted you at every doorstep.
I yearn for the blessings of the Rasik Shiromani saints Swami Sri Haridas Ji and Shri Hit Harivansh Mahaprabhu Ji. Following the path illuminated by them is my heartfelt aspiration, for my heart is simply captivated by the mode of love of the rasa-upasana (blissful devotion) of the divine couple Sri Shyama Shyam, introduced by them.
Shri Vrindavan Dham is the capital city of love where the King is crest-jewel among the heroes, Shri Shyamsundar and the Queen is crest-jewel among the youthful maidens, Shri Radha.
What distinguishes residing in Vrindavan is often misunderstood, as genuine renunciation is lacking when one remains entangled in greed and hypocrisy.
