One form of Rādhā resides in Braja in the form of Brajeśvarī, the sovereign Queen of Braja; another Rādhā delights in the rāsa-līlā as Rāseśvarī, the Queen of the divine dance; and the third Rādhā eternally sports within the nikunjas as Nitya-Nikuñja-vihāriṇī, who performs vihāra eternally, lovingly adored by the crest-jewel among rasikas, Svāmī Haridāsa Jī.
Where the autumn season is ever-present, where the festival of Tīj is celebrated eternally, and where the joy of spring and Holī is forever experienced; where at every moment the Divine Couple performs ever-new plays of love, whose bliss knows no end—that alone is the eternal abode of Śrī Vṛndāvan.
Swami Shri Haridās Ji Maharaj, the incarnation of Shri Lalitā Sakhi, is an unparalleled Rasika Acharya who bestows the nectar of the eternal love plays of the divine couple. By his grace, the very embodiment of rasa, Kunj Bihariṇī Lādili, Shri Radha Maharani, effortlessly appears before the devotee.
Thakurji (Shri Krishna) keeps His distance from those absorbed in injunctions, prohibitions, rituals, and outward formalities. But to a pure-hearted lover, He joyfully draws near — embracing them again and again with loving affection.
Within my body, mind, and speech, only Shri Radha dwells completely, for She is the very source of my life. She is forever immersed in the eternal Kelī sports of Nitya-Vihār with Kunja Bihārī.
In the ‘Akhand Nitya Vihara’ worship of Swami Shri Haridas Ji, Shri Radha and Shri Krishna are always perceived as eternally youthful and entirely beyond the scope of their manifest birth pastimes. Even names like “Vrishabhanu Dulari” hold no relevance here, for in this devotion, Shri Radha has no parents. She eternally resides in the Nikunj, absorbed in divine love-play. Here, Krishna is worshipped as Kunjbihari and Radha as Kunjbiharini. This path excludes Braj-based leelas such as those involving cowherds, gopis, cows, and parental figures, focusing solely on the pure, uninterrupted rasa of Nitya Vihara.
Whatever Shri Radha does is perfect and for the highest welfare of the soul, while we, with our limited intellect, are capable only of average or selfish acts. The one who realizes this truth in every circumstance and makes Shri Radha’s wish his own in complete surrender becomes truly dear to Shri Hari.
Shri Radha is the pinnacle of divine love, and so too are Lalji (Shri Krishna) and Lalitaji, who perpetually bestow divine bliss.
No one shares the oneness (closeness) with me that my beloved Priyaji (Sri Radha) does. She resides in my body, mind, words, and heart—in every fiber and pore of my being.
Those who remain trapped in falsehood, illusion, and deceit cannot perceive the ultimate truth. How, then, can Shri Kunja-Biharini Laddili (Shri Radha) hold their hands and take responsibility for their protection?
Easier than the easiest to attain, yet rarer than the rarest—such is Kunja Viharini, my beloved Ladili (Shri Radha), the very essence of my soul.
Everything is governed by Ladli [Sri Radha], and everything happens according to her sole desire. Her grace will also be the cause of everything that happens in the future. Therefore, those who are in Her shelter should remain carefree.
Śrī Kunj-Bihāriṇī Jū (Śrī Rādhā) has bestowed everything upon us. She eternally remains with us at every moment and continuously grants us the nectar of the supreme plays of love in nitya-vihāra.
Our relationship with Śrī Priyā Jī (Śrī Rādhā) is so intimate that as long as this body endures, we shall remain divinely intoxicated in Her exclusive worship as the eternal Mistress of the nikunjas. When this mortal body is cast aside, we shall openly attain Her association. In both states, Śrī Priyā Jī will bestow infinite nectar upon our hearts. Our only aspiration is to behold Her eternal loving love-plays ('nitya vihar') forever.
No obstacle can touch the heart of one who has Śrī Lāḍilī Jī (Śrī Rādhā) dwelling by his side. Even if the whole world were to become his enemy, no one could harm him in the slightest.
One form of Rādhā eternally resides in Braja as Brajeśvarī, the Queen of Braja; another manifests in the Rāsa-līlā as Rāseśvarī, the sovereign of the Rāsa dance; and the third eternally engages in love-plays ('nitya vihara') within the secluded nikunjas as the Nitya-Nikuñja-Vihāriṇī, upon whom the crest-jewel of rasikas, Svāmī Haridāsa Jī, lovingly bestows His affection.
