Those who are the exclusive devotees of Swami Haridas Ji keep their minds absorbed only in the rasa-keli of the divine couple, Sri Śyāmā Kuṃja bihārī in their nitya vihāra (eternal love-play). They continually behold with their eyes the sweetness of the beauty of the ever-youthful couple.
The divine land of Shri Dham Vrindavan, adorned with precious gems, is decorated with various creepers and trees of many colors. There, the beloveds of Shri Swami Haridas Ji, the divine couple Sri Śyāmā Kuṃjabihārī, are eternally engaged in love kelī, immersed in the rasa of nitya vihāra.
Those Rasika devotees who exclusively follow Swami Shri Haridas Ji consider prema (love) alone as the supreme path. Embracing the sakhī-bhāva (the mood of a close female companion of Radha), such a soul constantly engages in lovingly serving the Divine Couple and incessantly relishes their enchanting beauty.
Shri Swami Haridasji’s beloved Banke Bihari, the one who performs Nitya Vihara in the Nikunjas is supreme among all. Only by receiving a mere sprinkle (reflection) of His divine beauty, even the ten incarnations (Dashavatar) find their radiance and manifestation.
The beloved deity of Swami Shri Haridas, the crest jewel among the Rasikas, is the divine couple Sri Shyama Kunjbihari, who is the treasure of the Nikunj. Their enchanting forms dwell forever within my heart, for I know no one else but them.
Sri Roop Sakhi says that Swami Shri Haridas Ji is unparalleled, and I repeatedly offer myself to him. His unblinking eyes are constantly fixed upon the ‘Akhand’ (uninterrupted) ‘Nitya Vihara’ (eternal love-play of the divine couple), with unwavering focus and dedication.
Focusing my mind on the lotus feet of my Priya Priytama, I sing their virtues, which are a source of immense happiness. May I illuminate my heart with the wealth of divine love from these lotus feet, which are a treasure of nectar and ever-merciful.
Glory to Swami Shri Haridas Ji, the crest-jewel among the 'Rasika Ananyas' (exclusive connoisseurs), who constantly beholds the unending 'Keli' love-play of the divine couple Sri Radha Krishna in the Rangmahal of Nidhivan.
Those who wish to attain the essence of rasa devotion of Vrindavan of the divine couple Sri Bihari Biharinu Ju, should develop love for the lotus feet of Swami Shri Haridas.
The worshipful Śrī Bihārī-Bihāriṇī Jū of Lalitā-avatāra Śrī Svāmī Haridās Jī eternally perform their divine love-plays within the secluded nikunjas of Śrī Vṛndāvana, embracing each other like the tamāla tree and the creeper, upon a land adorned with shining jewels.
I have performed no significant bhajana, nor do I possess knowledge of yoga or other spiritual disciplines. My only strength is the causeless mercy of the crest jewel of rasikas, Svāmī Śrī Haridāsa Jī, by whose grace alone I have effortlessly tasted the nectar of nitya-vihāra.
The unparalleled sovereign among rasikas, Lalitā-avatāra Svāmī Śrī Haridāsa Jī, is the crest jewel of all rasikas. No other rasika can be compared with him, for he remains devoted to the uninterrupted vision of the supreme rasa—the nitya-vihāra of Śrī Priyā-Priyatama, the crown jewel of all transcendental rasas.
Without the grace of Lalitā-avatāra, the unparalleled rasika sovereign, Śrī Svāmī Haridāsa Jī, attainment of the eternal nitya-vihāra of Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa is impossible, no matter how countless one's spiritual practices may be. Just as nothing is gained by pounding empty husks without rice, all spiritual endeavor remains fruitless without his grace.
Apart from Śrī Bihārī-Bihāriṇī, who eternally relish nitya-vihāra in the secluded groves of Vṛndāvana, we have no relationship with any other deity, nor do we place our hope in pilgrimages, vows, or rituals. We are wholly sheltered in the household of Svāmī Haridāsa Jī, placing our unwavering and exclusive faith solely in his lotus feet.
May I always remain under the shelter of Lalitā-avatāra Svāmī Śrī Haridāsa Jī and continually behold the divine love-plays of Śrī Śyāmā-Śyāma in Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma. This alone is my heartfelt aspiration.
O Lord! Kindly grant me residence in Śrī Vṛndāvana, the supreme abode, so that, having attained it, I may never go anywhere else. By the grace of the crest-jewel of rasikas, Lalitā-avatāra Svāmī Śrī Haridāsa Jī Mahārāja, may I continually sing only the glories of the eternal nitya-vihāra of Śrī Śyāmā-Kuñjabihārī.
In the rasa-upasana of Śrī Svāmī Haridāsa Jī, the uninterrupted nitya-vihāra (love-plays) of the divine couple is the sole object of worship and the very essence of my spiritual path. Wherever narratives of avatāra-līlās (incarnations) become the focus, that should be regarded as a different path, for there the contemplation of the eternal nitya-vihāra is interrupted.
O Bāṅke Bihārī! Throughout the world You are renowned as the ocean of compassion and the protector of the humble. When will You bestow such mercy upon me that You will keep me always by Your side, day and night?
O brother! My worshipful Deity and my all-in-all is Śrī Rādhā Mahārāṇī alone, whom I lovingly adore every day. I know neither the virtues nor the faults of anyone else. My only association is with the king among exclusive rasikas, Svāmī Śrī Haridāsa Jī.
One who sincerely follows in the footsteps of Lalitā-incarnation, Svāmī Śrī Haridāsa Jī, with genuine devotion, attains sakhī-bhāva and continually beholds the eternal love-plays (nitya-vihara) of Śrī Śyāmā-Śyāma.
